Ivy Palace, Colne

This is without doubt our favourite place to eat. The staff and chef moved from the Jade Palace in Earby a little while ago - and we moved too! It's further away from home, but the extra mileage - despite our increased carbon footprint - is well worth the drive.
We're perhaps a little predictable in what we eat; favourites include chicken curry with fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, and Singapore vermicelli. The curry is not over-hot, although I must admit I prefer it to have a bit of a kick, but the flavour is excellent.
I first came across Singapore Vermicelli at the Dragon Inn, Ripon several years ago, and I've since tried many variations, including in China Town in Manchester and London - I think you'll find the best is here at Ivy Palace! Another dish well worth trying is their Sesame Prawn Toast. Again I discovered the delights of this appetiser in Ripon, but just wait 'til you try it here. The chef doesn't skimp on the topping, with around half an inch deliciously coated in sesame seeds; I'm beginning to drool just writing about it!
The crispy duck is always fantastic, and I've had one or two sizzling dishes too. I'd advise you not to wear white if you choose a sizzler, and it's worth considering a bib before your food arrives!
Another starter we often choose is Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings. People who aren't in the know often say there's nothing on a chicken wing, but everyone who's tried these at the Ivy Palace on my recommendation has been absolutely and totally converted. Again it's something I've tried at other restaurants, and again I've not found another to compare. The wings have a crispy coat and come with a sweet garlic and hot pepper dressing, finished with cucumber and crispy lettuce
We've never been disappointed with meals from the Ivy Palace, both eaten in and takeaway, and the service is superb.
