There's plenty around me, That I wouldn't even go to if I lived upstairs. As they are truly foul. I can understand going to closest one if it's ok. But there's just so many that just can't cook for ****

I should photograph some of the food when they are fresh off the wok into the tin container before it is closed and bagged, just to show you guys how much nicer it is when fresh. It is still nice when you get home but i can't help but feel a bit sad that i have to close the lid "suffocate" them, especially the vegetables.

Don't mind acrobatic duck and wan ton soup but generally find chinese food quite boring

Oh aye, some can be really bad and really shouldn't be open. I've delivered to some right dives in my time and wonder how they manage to stay in business. But some people just really don't care

Hmm, it's either Shu Qi from "The Transporter" or Kelly Hu from "Martial Law" and "The Scorpion King"

Tough call.

We're like that, the one local to us is passable, the one further away in town is nicer so we'll go there is we're passing, and when we want a treat we'll go to the one near where we used to live, which is too much hassle to get to on a whim.

THL!

That's a number ten, hot and large.

The house special fried rice, large portion with chillis

Perfect for lunchtime at work. We do it every couple of weeks. ish!

Roast chicken with beansprouts and fried rice normally or chicken chow mein or breast of chicken curry and fried rice

Hmm..well this is crap and bland.

Come to think of it, I don't actually know why I even like Chinese food. Having it occasionally as something different is fine, but anything I eat is really neutral and just filled with stock. :/
