How AppropriateI was quite pleased with myself for spotting this unfortunate signage malfunction on the Turnham Green Chinese in (obviously Turnham Green), Chiswick West London. Well I thought it was funny. Not there any more. I can't help wonder if that fact is related to the dire warning above the door!

We do have traditional Chinese dishes here: Pigs intestines, Pigs Uterus, and my favourite Duck Tongues...You've put together a good list there. About the only one I'm not keen on is the batter.
Dim sum
Salt and pepper anything.
Crispy chilli beef.
Kung po prawns.
Char siu chow mein
Singapore noodles
Hot and sour soup.
I went to Hong Kong and ate a whole load of things I didn't recognise (before or after!) and it was Chinese Roulette, cross your fingers, open wide. Some surprises, both nice and nasty! I had fish head soup, but couldn't help wonder why. Nothing wasted that's for sure. You see a different cuisine when you hang out with people living there (in this case a relly working there, not a true local, admittedly).
Same in Japan.
Ace: most sashimi. Maguro tataki.
Swerve: Natto. Fermented jellyfish with strawberry. Horrible novelty fizzy soft drink.
Singapore: durian fruit. The locals love it. The only thing they love more is watching westerners eat it. I actually thought it tastes ok but you have to hold your nose.
The Chinese takeaway local to us in our last house was called Ming Sing ... and yes, the S dropped off.i called a chinese take away and the guy answered
Hello i am Fu - King
i said ok sorry mate
i’ll call back later
