Went to Franco Manca for lunch.

Which is nice.

Hold tight for feedback!

Cantonese with a couple of Sichuan dishes?

How spectacularly unadventurous.

Might as well just go down your local English village Chinky.

      Sheesh that place is expensive. Granted I’m used to Oakland Chinatown eats, not more banquet style, but still.

        Smallman being a total fuckwit and overpaying for bland Canto cuisine?

        Imagine that.

        Ed Smallman had better get in here and answer his critics, the stupid fucking know-nothing CUNT.

        Edward Smallman, the bloke who pays £33 a dish at a poxy Canto gaff, orders egg foo yung and the other blandest dishes on the menu (“SANS CHEESE!”), and holds his chopsticks like a 4-year old from Lesotho with rickets.

          Ed Smallman, the bloke who takes a whole massive gob bite out of a xiaolongbao, pissing hot meat juice all over his Billionaire Boys’ Club gilet, the fucking twat.

          Fairy sure Min Jiang don’t sweet and sour chicken balls and chips.

          I could be wrong though.

              Pretty damn close: (I quote the menu)
              Sautéed Sweet and Sour Corn-fed Chicken with Pineapple

                I hope you tip it all over yourself with your spastic ricket hands.

                Sautéed Gong Bao King Prawns with Cashew Nuts

                Fuck me, Kung Pao Prawns* with Cashew Nuts, the Ikea caff has more imaginative cooks.

                *Gong Bao is the Mandarin name; Kung Pao is the Cantonese name.

                  Min Jiang Sichuan Hot and Sour Soup

                  It’s like a compendium of 1980s Chinese dishes.

                  What’s this place again? The Summer Palace in Watford?

                  DON’T YOU WORRY DAVE I WILL BE TELLING THEM.

                      Chilli Prawn Toast with Sesame Seeds

                      Utterly pointless waste of money, this gaff.

                      It’s the Chinese equivalent of paying about £80 for an Italian and getting beef lasagne and garlic bread.

                      benson I don’t know if i have already mentioned it but we went to the Bao in New York.

                      It was great food.

                      I doubt that when there is a Din Tai Fung in NYC.
