Re: No Chinese for a While.
"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?"
No. That was more for the Indians who 'thought' the off fee was all they had to pay. Scandic massage started charging everything up front for the same reason.

"Same for Thai food best was in a Thai enclave in a suburb of Wash. D.C"
Impossible. Proper Thai food should be served with hot tropical weather, a glorious motorbike ride, coffee overlooking the night sky reflecting glistening crystal blue waters of the Gulf of Siam and a dessert of a hot lithe willing Thai boy. You get that in D.C???
Re: No Chinese for a While.
We have some great Chinese restaurants in Chicago. I loved the chop suey, low mien dishes, and my all-time favorite - giant egg rolls with sweet & sour sauce and hot mustard...yum yum!.
In 6 business trips to China I never once saw any of these dishes. I had shark fin soup once, which the company who was hosting my visit highly recommended, and it had no flavor at all, and the entree tasted like shit. They can give their legendary monkey brains, pickled pig livers, and roasted bat wings garnished with corona virus to someone else.
Re: No Chinese for a While.
As a nation the Chinese are too manic, simply too impatient to do great food.
Peking Duck recipe.
Pancakes. Bought.
Hoi Sin Sauce. Bought.
Cucumber and Spring Onion. Shredded.
Duck. Slowly roasted for two hours, longer if necessary.
Not hard is it?

I wonder if it depends what you were bought up on?
There are thousands of Indian Restaurants in the UK and the food is awesome. It’s made for our taste buds.
I bet if we went to India expecting the same we would say it’s sh1t too!
Same as eating in China?!

It's worse.
One trip to Delhi was enough for me. A breeding ground for bacteria...filthy water...so hot you can fry an egg on the sidewalk...the mosquitos are the size of Blue Jays, and the people smell like shit because of the food they eat. No wonder they all move to England.
I ate all my meals in a hotel restaurant and couldn't leave soon enough.

With some of the messages in this thread, I'm surprised some of you haven't decided to go all out and just started calling them "deleted".

If you really wanna be PC, you can't use "them" either.

So you are talking about and blame Thai buses with Thai drivers, from Thai bus companies under Thai management, buses what has been served in Thai services for buses and still have "huge black plums" and Thai road police allows them to use Thai roads under Thai laws and Thai regulations and create traffic jams?
