This is a restaurant recommended by Lonely Planet. We had a house guest from the US of A, who was very clearly a more organised traveller than me. He had researched the areas he could possibly visit and even tended to remember details. Amazing.
In any event, late on a Friday evening and after a few drinks in a very nice pub (but which did not have an exciting dinner menu), we found ourselves in Winchester looking for a place to eat. Our house guest suggested Mister So's. It had a table spare and its kitchen was still open at 2130, so we sat down.
Mister So's is quite small. And very pink. The staff were pleasantly aggressive, but extremely competent. We ordered seafood lettuce wraps for our entree and a smattering of dishes for our mains: steamed sea bass with ginger and spring onions, lo-han mixed vegetables and deep-fried spicy tofu.
The seafood lettuce wrap was delicious. Our house guest had to leave the table to make a business call back home and we were left with his portion of seafood wrap goodness. We only just managed not to scoff ALL of it down before he got back to have some. The mains were excellent, although a little on the small side; we were nevertheless quite replete at the end of our meal.
I accompanied my meal with jasmine tea, which was very tasty and topped up whenever I asked for it to be. My co-diners had Tiger beers with great glee.
All in all, the meal was great and well-priced. Definitely worth a visit.
