KidKruger Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Woodrot - try Silk Road in Camberwell, it cannot be classified as per your last comment as it's a different Chinese cuisine.

How many of the Chinese restaurants in China Town have you actually eaten at ?(taking into account that MrWu/HongKong diners eat-all-you-can deals are not to be included)More than 3 ☐Less than 3 ☐(☑ tick box)(☏ or contact our glib comments hot-line)NETTE Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/22927-china-towns-best-restaurant/page/2/#findComment-538591 Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodrot Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 ticked more than 3all you can eat doesnt countMost of Chinatown does come under the Angus Steak House category IMHO - all tourists and people from Sevenoaks having a pre Les Mis supper.nom nom nom Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/22927-china-towns-best-restaurant/page/2/#findComment-538593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Pibe Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I ate at a weird place in Macau where the menus were only in chinese characters, so we pointed randomly, and some of the food frankly scared me.English Chinese restaurants may not be the most authentic cuisine in the world, but at least you have some semblance of an idea what's coming, of what it is once it has arrived and nothing is still moving!!

El Pibe Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Of course I should add the usual mocking comments about how I know the most authentic place London, it's a tiny place with a magic door available only to the initiated, but I wouldn't dream of sharing it with anyone on here lest they disagree with my opinion in case sudden popularity led to them putting an extension of the M25 through the middle of it.

KidKruger Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Dig that dish served in China (and Korea, I believe) where the octopus straddles the pile of noodles in the middle of the bowl and is still alive, tentacles moving and all.I'll settle for dumplings, thanks.ETA: Don't get me wrong, I am not saying I ever ate it !

maxxi Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Chinese-type Chinese menus (you know what I mean) can be a little intimidating and while I was adventurous enough to consider things like stewed duck's tongue, braised goose web, fish maw, fried snow frog and deep-fried frog skin when I ate at the restaurant in Hong Kong's Silk Market - I drew the line at Baked Fish Intestine With Puffy Egg... this is probably because I am a touristy type of traveller rather than an intrepid worldy-wise explorer man and I do like a bit of sweet and sour glutinous slop now and then...

charliecharlie Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I remember the Wong Kei from way back... the service is perfectly OK now, but back in the day it was HORRENDOUS!!!In the heat of summer (and it must have been 35 degrees in there) I asked for a glass of water... and I waited and I waited and I... and so on... I was feeling a bit faint and overheated, and I spotted about 10 glasses of tap water ready to be served on the counter which was all of 3 metres away, so I got up and went to get one... the waiter yelled and I mean YELLED right across the room full of diners "you want water, you fucky sit down"... funny in hindsight but not at the time, I did not go back for a ages (and I am talking 20 years!!)Oh boy, they were angry in dem days!http://www.legaljuice.com/angry%20lawyer%20mad%20lawyer%20furious%20lawyer%20man%20person.gif Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/22927-china-towns-best-restaurant/page/2/#findComment-538748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
