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 :))

    • This thread brings back hazy memories from the early to mid-90s of a wine shop / off licence off Lordship Lane run by a bibulous chap who specialised in East European wines. It wasn't on a parade of shops but was on maybe Whateley Rd – or possibly Goodrich?? I used to walk past it when heading home from work and would drop in for a cheap bottle of Hungarian plonk. Someone tell me I'm not dreaming this... 🙂
    • The river Peck is partly underground if you live near the park and on its route
    • I have spent many years pondering the state of dampness in my basement and had composed a long and rather boring reponse. Have reduced it to bullet points: The cause of damp on the common wall with my neighbour was found to be caused by a slow leak their side which they were unaware of. Leak was repaired and dampness subsided. An experienced drainage man told me there are no underground rivers in East Dulwich My damp patches come and go and are more prevalent in summer when the humidity is high and barely there during the winter. I was considering getting a dehumidifier until I read they can suck the water out of walls/floor and make the problem worse.  
    • Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one  to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had  to work 2 days (INSET Days)  one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool  has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days  without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.
