Eastern Delight Chinese

Recommended Posts

Tonight I went again to Eastern Delight Chinese in East Dulwich Road, more or less opposite Tesco Express. Had won ton soup and quarter peking duck. And again, it was delicious, and service fantastic. But, on a Saturday evening, I was the only person there, though many came in for takeaway. What's going on? They deserve better than this as our only Chinese restaurant, surely.

OK, I've had a look - two people saying they had a bad meal there.


I'm not saying it's good or bad - I've not been there. But it's not like there are pages and pages of bad reviews, as you get for some places, is it?

Let's face it, most bog standard Chinese restaurants of this type are awful. The long departed Chopsticks was good but now the only good Chinese food in the area that I know of is Silk Road in Camberwell (but it's not standard British Chinese fare.) Happy to be directed to another good one but Mr Liu is pretty poor.

Thanks Pam, I will definitely try their Sechuan menu but we had other things from there not long ago and it wasn't great :-(

I'm tempted to give it a go on the grounds that I tend not to take any notice of what people on here write.

Probably a bit down market for most..


... But its a long walk from the pub and then back home and Chinese food gets cold quick..

... and not good when reheated.


Eating Chinese in is ok when in a group and food is shared.. but not really suitable for solo dining as is Curry..

Hallo Dulwich Fox,

I have never been tempted to be amongst your detractors. However your post above was so dismissive of the contributors to this forum. It made me wonder why you spend so long reading and contributing to a forum where you "tend not to take any notice of what people on here write. "

He lives in a parallel universe Pam


You'll get used to it, best ignore his contrarian ways as they're an attention seeking device

I go there occasionally if I fancy something greasy and MSG-laden. There are two really excellent Vietnamese resaurants in CAmberwell if you're up for travelling a tad further. One is open daytime only (near Kings Hosp) and the other is near the Leisure centre.

I was being positive but peoples selective reading detracts from that..


I draw my own conclusions about any restaurant business based on my own experiences and feelings.

and consequently will pass comment on Eastern Delight should I ever visit the place.

I seem to remember going there many years ago but was probably called something different back then.

It was memorable for all the wrong reasons.. It was cr*p

I'd point to the thread about Platform One when it opened under its previous name as evidence that this assertion is pure nonsense.

What are you talking about...


My comments on the said place were about my objections to the vulgar suggestive original name..

and it's outward appearance with its blanked out windows. Both of which have been addressed since my remarks.

Not about the quality of the food.


This thread is about Eastern Delight and about how good the food is...


You need to get up a bit earlier..


Foxy.

Anyone looking at that thread would draw a different conclusion in the light of your curmudgeonly ramblings.

No it wasn't, it was bloody awful :))


ETA: I imagine that's why it closed, because other people thought so as well ....

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
