Re: No Chinese for a While.
I think and hope when the Covid cloud dissipates the Chinese will have found new destinations.
Re: No Chinese for a While.
Given the choice of a bustling thriving Boyztown full of Chinese or tumbleweed blowing down the soi I'd choose the Chinese option.
However it's likely to be in the second half of this decade when things are being close to back to normal Chinawise.
Maybe if they spend enough time in Asia or Europe they'll actually learn how to cook decent Sweet and Sour pork and Peking Duck. Cos they can't fucking do it here. You think I'm joking? I ain't. The Kung Po Chicken is good though.
Re: No Chinese for a While.
My hotel in Beijing was opposite one of the Da Dong Beijing duck restaurants and I ate there every night. It was some of the best food I've ever eaten. I was planning to go back before Covid struck, just to have duck for dinner every night again.
Lunch, however, while I was wandering around the city was inedible, as was just about all the food I tried in Shanghai.
Overall, the best Chinese food Imho seems to be in restaurants outside of China.

That seems to be the way of it. Just read an article by a restaurant critic stating that in his experience the best French, Italian and Spanish food restaurants are all in London.

Same for Thai food best was in a Thai enclave in a suburb of Wash. D.C.

Same here. Only been to China once for a few hours across the border from Hong Kong.
Shenzhen, the food was appalling.

I remember when all of a sudden they started quoting ST and LT prices in Toyboy. Did that coincide with them catering to the Chinese?
