I went to a different takeaway last night, won't name it as that is not fair on a local business, but it was within a few minutes walk of Yee Wah.


I have to say the lack of quality compared to Yee Wah was noticeable to the point where I left more than I ate and it reminded me why I have used Yee Wah for over 15 years


Sad tear in eye if they have truly gone

We too tried a different Chinese a couple of nights ago, the one on the corner of Upland & Hindmans. We ordered the same dishes we got from Yeh Wah but were disappointed. The service was good but the food wasn't unfortunately & no way anywhere as good as Yeh Wah's & so the search begins for a good local Chinese takeaway

I had this posted through my letterbox about 2 months ago. None of my neighbours received it. Seemed like whoever wrote it wanted me to sign a petition.

If you've found out what it is about, I'd be very interested!

I've only had the vietnamese food there (not the Chinese dishes), but it wasn't good.


Wulli is good but if you're looking for shredded beef, sweet and sour pork, lemon chicken, etc then that's not really their forte.

I've never had those dishes....only the Szechuan stuff.

Woke with a start this morning realising that if Yee Wah have closed (high probability now) then the Chinese calendar on my bedroom wall is the last one I will get from them.


On the plus side it may become a collectible as a result. Watch out for it on an auction site near you soon !


Gina, it's not about how many takeaways there are nearby, it's about finding one that had the same attitude towards quality ingredients and food as Yee Wah appeared to have!

I've mentioned this before but Golden K1tchen (opp the old Grove Tavern) is our local and I'm a fan. Nothing fancy or unusual on the menu but good. They do a great salt and pepper fried aubergine and king prawn with broccoli. I pick up rather than wait for delivery though as it's a small family business and not sure how many drivers they have.


If you go in early evening there is sometimes a family meal going on with what looks like really interesting stuff. I did once ask the lady who runs it if any of it was on the menu. She laughed. A lot. Not much call for chicken feet in SE22!


Excuse spelling of k1tchen. Banned word I think.

How weird. There's a whole thread around that word in the family section, but you're right, I can't post the correctly spelled word on this thread.


Admin?? Some glitch?? (That should eliminate some of the possibilities for the ban .....)

Ah, OK. Must have missed it!


That must be causing genuine posters some aggravation when they don't realise why they can't upload their posts!

    • The decision to leave the EU was a poor one, but I'd avoid the term stupid when applied to the masses (the decision was of course stupid) and blame those who willingly misled.  A certain N Farage (pronounced with a hard G rather than the soft G he affected, rather continental eh?) being one of the main culprits. He blames the Tories for not delivering Brexit, and not really clear how Labour are playing this.  But ultimately what sort of Brexit were people voting for?  And ditto what future were people voting for last Thursday?
    • "That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’. " I'm certainly calling them wrong. And many of those 17 million agree with me now and have expressed regret. Many others were indeed thick, and remain so. You can see them being interviewed all the time. As for insulting, the losing side in that referendum have being called every name under the sun "enemies of the people" etc etc - so spare me the tears about being insulted But for clarity. there is a certain type of individual who even now thinks Brexit was a good idea, tends to side with Trump and holds views about immigrants - and yes I am happy to calll those people thick. - and even worse Jazzer posts a long and sometimes correct post about the failings of modern parties. I myself think labour are woefully underperforming. But equally it has been less than a year after 14 years of mismanagement and despite some significant errors have largely steadied the ship. You only have to speak to other  countries to recognise the improvement there. They have cut NHS waiting times, and the upside of things like NI increases is higher minimum wage - something hard-bitten voters should appreciate. They were accused of being too gloomy when they came in and yet simultaneously people are accusing them of promising the earth and failing to deliver - both of those can't be true at the same time Fact is, this country repeatedly, over 15 years, voted for austerity and self-damaging policies like Brexit despite all warnings - this newish govt now have to pick up the pieces and there are no easy solutions. Voters say "we just want honest politicians" - ok, we have some bad news about the economy and the next few years  - "no no not that kind of honesty!!! - magic some solutions up now!" Anyone who considers voting for Reform because they don't represent existing parties and want "change" is being criminally negligent in ignoring their dog-whistles, their lack of diligence in vetting, their lack of attendance (in Westminster now and in eu parties is guises past) and basically making all of the same mistakes when they pushed for Brexit - basically, not serious people   "cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised." - can we see that promise? I don't recall it? Because whatever voters or govts want, the cost of things is not exactly entirely in their gift. People were warned prices would rise with Brexit and e were told "we don't care - it's a price worth paying!". Turns out that isn' really true now is it - people DO care about the cost of things (and of course there are other factors - covid, trump, tariffs, wars etc.    What the country needs is a serious, mature electorate who take a high level view of priorities and get behind the hard work needed to achieve that. There is zero chance of that happening so we are doomed to repeat failures for years to come, complaining about everything and voting for policies which will make things worse here we have labour 2024 energy manifesto commitments - all of it necessary long term investment - calling for immediate price cuts with no money in the kitty seems unrealistic given all of the economic headwinds   https://www.energy-uk.org.uk/general-election-2024-all-manifesto-energy-pledges/#Labour_Party

    • I’m on Darrell Road and have noticed this recently - your daughters are not alone! It seems to only be at night. Would you agree? High pitched and consistent. I’ve been wondering if it’s a street lamp, or a fox deterrent system.
