Smallman1 Whenever the words Dave and China come together I think one thing and one thing only. Wade-Giles transliteration!
alistair Mad_Cyril XO sauce or ginger scallion for me on seafood. Scrub that, plunge it all in Satay 🤣
Along_the_Wire I’m sure that some of the finest Chinese chefs in the land thought that Chelmsford would be the perfect spot for the Hakkasan of Essex.
hugopal Along_the_Wire nowhere, Essex is largely shit Yes I’m aware it’s largely shit, but “the Hakkasan of Essex” would still have to be somewhere in Essex. “The finest Chinese chefs in the land” couldn’t create “the Hakkasan of Essex” in Devon, for instance.
Christian This evening I shall be dining in back in time in Chelmsford. Not been there for at least 30 years and according to the web site, it looks exactly the same. Can’t imagine the menu has changed either
Along_the_Wire alistair live in Teddington and work in London. London has great restaurants. I lived in Chelmsford for a little over ten years and have been back many times - I can tell you something for free, it’s fucking shit.
hugopal Along_the_Wire I’m aware of what the joke you were aiming for was, but don’t blame me for your phrasing it incorrectly.
