There's been a whole slew of recent food and drug manufacturing scandals from China.

Don't forget the chemicals! I hear they do.. things to your liver. And other places in your body.

Seriously its mega happy golden fun to be Chinese right now isn't it.

[joea]

I'll stick with Chinese food made outside of China, like in Chinatown in Vancouver, thank you. :yep:

Yep, if you're ever in San Francisco, check out the "House of Nanking".

House of Nanking
919 Kearny St (Broadway/Pacific), 415-421-1429
11am-10pm 7 days.
http://www.inetours.com/images/Snglimgs/2x4.gif
House of Nanking is a huge success story. From the day it opened, some 15 years ago, it was packed with diners. This was due mainly to its cook-owner who shopped for the best and freshest food he could find, cooked it in front of the diners, and carried on an animated conversation with them.
http://www.inetours.com/images/Snglimgs/2x4.gif
Since those days, the restaurant has expanded by taking a large loft-like place right next door, and has retained its upscale food, at very decent prices. Portions are large, so one dish can provide a good meal. Tea is served, as in most Chinese restaurants, at no charge. It is usually jammed at lunch and dinner.

Hella good...you must be from California.:D

[Jimbuna]

It's traditional in our household that we have a Chinese takeaway on a Friday night :yep:
Might just have an Indian tonight for a change ;)

Only the strange Norcal people say it ;). It's funny, as the Socal/Norcal rivalry was pretty big at my school. You could walk by the dorms and the Norcal people would have I heart Norcal signs in their windows. The Socal people would have "Norcal hella sucks."

PD

For some strange reason, I would have a particular adversion to that restaurant and a dish called "Nanking".

Back on topic.

A Chinese food buffet style resturant opened up here boasting 100 different menu items ... soon all the stray dogs and cats where gone... then they had to close up ...

I don't know why ... the food was great ... place seemed clean ...

I heard romours that a hugh fat woman fell and crushed a child to death. The parents of the child could not get any compensation from the hugh fat woman so they sued the resturant.

I do know the hugh fat woman was arrested for shop lifting... seems she was going around to different buffet style resturants and loading up bags with food which she was able to hide under her dress... odd thing about this was she could not be arrested as long as she stayed in the resturant... but when she came out she was fair game...

Police had to call a van in to hual her downtown.

When I lived in Vermont, and President Reagan's budget policies put a lot of veterans and a lot of other crazy folks on the streets of America, there was this guy thought he was B-52 who would run around town with his arms stretched yelling his way through his "mission" and making jet engine and bombing noises.

Sounds like me when I was 5 after I saw Dr. Strangelove.

Worked for 12 years as a Chinese Chef. You'd be surprised at some "ingredients". :yep:

Then again, the good old fruit and veg at the local supermarket ain't what I'd call safe either.:down:

"If we want to do that, there is no problem. We could catch 150 kg of rats in one night...but we will not do this against our conscience," the villager was quoted as saying.

I wonder if his name was Willard ? :hmm:

Or perhaps he's the ever-famous Pied Piper.
