I have been to Khan's, will check it out. Thanks


There is a new large Vietnamese restaurant opening on the Old Kent Road, opposite Tesco.


Sue - Ah yes I have. It is okay, found what I needed but I find it quite expensive.


What is everyone's favourite East Asian dish? I love king prawn pad thai and Vietnamese spring rolls. Also love, salmon terriyaki.

That is called Wang Jia - it is actually Chinese (although I'm sure they have Viet stuff in there too). It's not as good as Wing Tai, but the crazy music pumping out on massive PA speakers can make a visit worthwhile.


There is also a Vietnamese shop called Kim Lien, on Peckham High St.

One of my nemesis' is Wing Yip on the Purley Way. Not quite local but it's like going into the pub for just one pint, going in for one item normally sees me coming out with a trolley load and a few hundred quid worse off but with a big grin on my face and weeks of joyous cooking to follow 😅


For Vietnamese cooking I rate Luke Nguyen as having some creative ideas, if you are looking for Japanese then try a book called Hashi (the Japanese one pot sticky rice is to die for )


Just off to my bookshelf now to thumb through for something tasty for later in the week

The See Woo in Greenwich is also good. I haven't been to Chinatown for many years now, I am sure it has changed a lot...



Thank you ArtfulDogger. I will check them out. I love sticky rice, never tried to make it myself. I own a rice cooker I wonder if I can make it in that....


What other dishes have you made?

Have made this super simple (but pretty impressive) one a number of times when people come over....its from jaime rather than an Asian chef, but has proven very popular....

Given its often for dinner party guest, I splash out and get fresh Seabass fillets from Moxons (not cheap_....my only comment on the recipe would be to remove the skin from the fish, as the fish is steamed over the top of the flavoured rice as the rice finishes coooking, and steamed skin is far from ideal....also, I usually add plenty of kaffir lime leaf to the paste to give it a real thai flavour kick...

Yes, it's excellent. Massive range of Chinese ingredients, and also quite a bit of Thai/Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese stuff. Fresh fish/seafood straight from the market, significantly cheaper than any fishmonger I've ever seen. Huge range of frozen seafoods too.

Monkatsu do a yummy salmon terriyaki. However as that is the only place I've ever had it, I have nothing to compare it with ....

I went there a few years back and bought masses of stuff, intending to cook all sorts of interesting dishes.


Trouble was I never did, and most of it went past its use by date and got binned.


In future I'm just deciding on recipes first and then buying the ingredients for them :))

    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time
    • Hi there,  Looking for 10-12 jars (to start with) of local honey to fill a small section of a deli space in my work canteen. Please get in touch if you know of any community projects/small scale productions Cheers
    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
