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.

    • Nasty piece of work. Targets locations with a healthy independent presence and farmers’ markets; typical vampire capitalism. Great supporter of a Brexit too. All good reasons to go elsewhere, preferably small independent., 
    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
