We may all have been treating outselves a little over the last week or two - and the belt buckles might have been let out a couple of notches.

But that won't stop us all fancying some exotic grub, whether it be to bring in the new year or as a weekend treat to help us through the dark, cold January nights.

Chinese food continues to be as popular as ever - and according to Tripadvisor users, these are the five best places to get it in Powys.

1. Kwai Chin Newtown, 4.5 stars from 59 reviews

"This was a cracking find," wrote Jenniferk123. "Excellent quality food, reasonably priced and great service with a smile from Simon :)"

2. Canton Wok, Newtown, 4.5 stars from 38 reviews

"Excellent takeaway," wrote user Mike G. "Great food and great prices. Portion sizes are massive so you can feed the family for very little especially when compared to the burger chains. Highly recommended."

3. The Lantern, Newtown, 4 stars from 30 reviews

"Excellent service and excellent food," wrote Amanda A. "We placed a large telephone order for 7 hungry adults who were staying in the middle of nowhere about 5 miles from Newtown just as the football semi final started. The food was delivered by half time, it was hot it was delicious and we had a gift of prawn crackers! Great service, good price."

4. Bamboo Garden, Knighton, 4 stars from 28 reviews

"We moved into the area 7 months ago, and have used the Bamboo Garden regularly," writes Dave A. "Its food is as good as we've had anywhere else we've lived, and recommend it for quality and service. My wife thinks the Sweet and Sour chicken, Cantonese style is to die for."

5. Golden Valley, Llanymynech, 4 stars from 10 reviews

"On holiday for the week near Dolanog, our party was recommended this takeaway by the cottage owners and we were not disappointed," one user wrote. "We had chicken satay skewers - 5 in the container - and shredded smoked chicken strips (well-liked), my favourite dish of chicken with cashew nuts, Szechuan chicken, special chicken chow mein with barbecue sauce, crispy seaweed and spring rolls. We were all very happy with the flavours and the amount."
