Chinese food

[setreal]

Balls.

[Total Longo]

Chinese food is the best. Absolutely love Mr Chows in Parkgate, Chung Ku on the Dock Road and my personal "rarely mentioned Chinese", The Jade Cafe in Greasby. You take your own ale as well, a decent option.

Fucking hell Mr Chow's still going?  I remember that when I was a nipper.  Used to be that place to take a bird, Ma Bo's in Chinatown for a post club carb reload.

[Total Longo]

Was this when you used to go, Stringy lad?

You walk in a chinese buffet feeling like you're on the front of the titanic arms aloft, and walk out feeling like Ed Norton after the shower scene in American History X, every single time.

I was remember David Price being interviewed in Beijing and being asked if he'd been out and had any of the local food...'Yeah, but it's not proper Chinese.'

[setreal]

Exactly.

Understandable if they didn't even have link sausage.

T'sos in town has sausage, every time, stand alone sausage though, and all sausage shaped.

[bigbak]

Can't beat chinese chips.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

My local chinese are complete turd but do excellent salt and chilli chips. It's a pain in arse because they're good enough to make me go there for the chips, and the next town over for the mains. Ball ache.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I'm dubious that the chinese can stick chicken to a stick and call it chinese food, that's all I'm saying.

[El Rojo]

People who say 'prepared' instead of cooked deserve to eat shit food

 

Harsh but fair.

[Anny Road]

A link sausage is the architypal sausage.

 

You're thinking of square sausage.

 

 

Link Sausages are more of a sausage than those meat pancake shits that the Scottish love. They usually get served to you drier than a nuns minge.

 

You are a wrong'un.

I got that arse about tit. I meant square sausages are not sausages.

[Anny Road]

Not sure if I have already posted this and cant be arsed looking but fella I know spent months working in China and said the food was rank. They eventually found where to buy all the ingredients for mince and tatties except Bisto powder which his wife posted out to him.

Japanese and Thai is a million times better.

Japanese and Thai is a million times better.

 

Not really tried a lot of Japanese food but I'd agree about Thai, it's always so expensive though, we were going to go out to a Thai restaurant on Saturday night but have jibbed it off because it was too dear. A takeaway for two tends to cost the best part of a tenner more than an Indian or Chinese in my experience too.

 

Shame because it's lovely food.

I really want to like Thai food and maybe I've just been to the wrong places but I find it boring. Place I went in Birmingham supposedly one of the countries best and it was a lovely experience. Michelin Star stuff. but the same. Boring. Could have done with a carton of chippy curry.

 

Japanese is a different story. Amazing stuff. was in Paris years ago with the wife. Had a reservation at a Top french restaurant. wedding gift from a hotel owner who knew the chef. They had a fire on the night we were meant to go. So me suited and booted ended up with a mob of French students and the wife in this dump sitting on a wooden bench eating some of the best food I have ever had. Japanese. Place was packed and everywhere else was empty. In for about 3 hours and cost less than 50 quid for both of us. (good for Paris)

Thai is miles better than Chinese. Although if you don't like Coconut milk, as loads of people I know, then you miss out big time.

 

A Japanese Sushi Bento Box is one of my favourites. A bit of Katsu curry with salmon roll. delicious.

For authentic stuff there probably isn't much to choose between the three but the Chinese fare you get in the UK is much stodgier than those other two.

Agreed they're both a little more expensive the Chinese, but it's always worth the extra money in my experience.

There's a Thai takeaway here that's about 6 euro a meal. It's boss.

 

Most takeaways are Surinaamse or Indonesian which are both lovely. The Chinese mostly tastes the same and has this weird sugary orange gloop on everything.

[moof]

Japanese especially. Not only the food, but the service and hospitality is always second to none.

[Anny Road]

I went to an Indian restaurant in Peebles in the borders. After having been used to 4am Curries by the bombed out church in Liverpool for years I was blown away by fresh, spicy without stupid heat authentic food. I wish we could have more ethnic restaurants cooking good, not popular, grub.

Tastes shit and an hour later you're hungry again.

 

Easily my least favourite cuisine and takeaway.
