It's how they customise those items, a little tweak here and there


Makes all the difference, but from my memory, Yee Wah was ok, don't remember anything special


That said, my days living near it, were ...Erm...slightly hazy :)

yee wah has always been recommended on here for take-aways, the other threads were looking for places to sit in I think.


as for the gloopy overly sweet sauces, I cannot say as I don't like things in a sauce but take away from yee wah must have seemed fresher, maybe they change the oil more frequently? i dunno.

I concur with those recommending Wuli Wuli in Camberwell... The coriander beef, twice cooked pork belly and smashed cucumbers are all amazing there. I've never tried 'saliva chicken' - i know it's meant to mean juicy chicken but the name just puts me off! :)

Just looked at the menu - smacked cucumbers is one thing but fried morning glory?!

We got a weird thing hand delivered as well - it had "PASSITON" written on the envelope. Sound familiar? What is it?

Isn't Chinese food due the same gourmet makeover as burgers, fish and chips and mexican?


If I took the lease on Yee Wah, hired a great Szeuchan chef and deputy and made it appropriate for the clued up hipsterfied community, threw in some locally sourced lemongrass.....would you all come?

Yeah, you need to find a neglected Chinese province to pick.


Silk Road has done Xinjiang. Maybe go for Gansu?


From wiki: The cuisine of Gansu is based on the staple crops grown there: wheat, barley, millet, beans, and sweet potatoes. Within China, Gansu is known for its lamian (pulled noodles), and Muslim restaurants which feature authentic Gansu cuisine.


Sounds spot on for a new trend.

DC do you find it really annoying when all of a sudden the hipster is suddenly an expert in

Xinjiang cuisine ....just because they went to a restaurant in Camberwell. Like those occasional Thai food know it alls who went to Koh Samui for a month or two in a long since forgotten gap year.

Nah - I do the same about Vietnamese food.


"Oh, yeah, the pho (pronounced pha btw) here is ok but they don't make a proper Cau Lau from the central highlands region - that's the real 'Nam."

The row of shops looks so depressing - and I have heard that there are squatters in the old cab office. It could be so nice, so hopefully something will happen to it, it's 1930s and it looks like it needs a good refurb, it would be so nice to have a cafe, greengrocers, off-license or something similar.


Yee Wah was alright, but have you seen the cooker at the front of the shop - it's FILTHY!! Best Chinese I get delivered to my house is from Mayflower, they are based in West Dulwich, but deliver to SE22, food is fresh, doesn't taste oily or fatty and it's a decent price - and you can order via the hungry house app.


Thanks

I called eastern delight the other night to order myself a number 41 with pork (a yummy noodle soup) and I am sure it was the guy that used to work at yee wah answering the phone. I asked my OH to ask him what happened when picking up the food but alas she didn't. Next time I order I shall if he answers. My hunt still continues. I may try mr lui.

      Where have all the pigeons gone?

      By Mabaker · Posted

      Well, they're back today. Something must have spooked them yesterday. And yes, like Angelina, my pigeons are also well turned out. They all wear the same uniform. I think they may be stock doves. As well as Mr and Mrs Woodpigeon I also get the collared doves.

      they probably frequent the parks more in summer when there are more people around, dropping food etc.  Likewise, I haven't seen as many in my garden recently.

      Crikey! This Doesn't Look Good For The Housing Secretary

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      The discussion has been about the silence from certain posters about Truss's disastrous actions. Your 'gotcha' is merely a deflection.

      Crikey! This Doesn't Look Good For The Housing Secretary

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      The banking crisis was a global event which enabled the Tories victory and to this day is somehow used against Labour  covid and furlough are under events which impacted economy.  But guess what? Not just the uk economy! energy prices a result of the Russian invasion, something Johnson said would never happen and as we seek to remove ourselves from non-renewable and Russian controlled natural resources, we have Tories and reform condemning Labour for pursuing renewables. Something most other sane countries are doing  We must also not forget the mad relative in the attic.  Brexit.  Something which contributed massively both to the black hole and to the foreseeable future lack of growth  (this is something starmer has also bizarrely tied himself to. Presumably in an attempt to placate the media/loons who think it was a good idea but which will fail in both aims)
