PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
Never had a restaurant that I know of like that over here, but you bring back fond memories of a Chinese restaurant on Wardour Street called Wong Kei’s (pronounced “wonky’s”)
Rude waiters, very loud, if you asked for a fork or spoon you needed to have the catching skills of Jonty Rhodes as they chucked it at you, I remember once when I was eating alone on the ground floor that they threw someone out for asking for a menu, but the food was very fresh, very cheap and well above par, when I used to go, back in the mid '90s I would have a big bowl of Wonton noodle soup and a big bowl of congee or beef in black bean sauce with ho fun, or roast duck with egg fried rice for under a fiver, not bad at all, and I couldn't eat for the rest of the day!
Happy memories!
OTOH Fawlty Towers was apparently based on a real hotelier
Maybe I am used to Hong Kong style Chinese food (despite all of these restaurants promising me that they are cooking Szechuan or Peking) but I have never really got on with Chinese food outside of UK/NL it always tastes very odd to me.
