Chinese Rare
Why I love Chinese takeaways
Given a takeaway choice as a last request for me and my family, I think that i would go for a Chinese. My top choice of food has to be Chinese, as I enjoy the attention to detail that is apparent in a top quality restaurant.
A Chinese takeaway is second only to a Chinese restaurant where you can enjoy being pampered by experienced professionals who care about the service that they give. I took my family on a visit to London quite recently, and promised to end the evening with a meal in Soho’s China Town. This is probably the last place in Soho or even London as a whole to turn off its lights at the end of the evening because of the lively nature of the place. Unfortunately, we were not there during the Chinese New Year celebrations, with the colour and noise of the firecrackers. There was never likely to be a problem, as later I would discover several ‘firecrackers’ of my own flavouring my meal.
Walking down a street in China Town rarely happens without an approach by a restaurant worker eager to add you to the list of satisfied customers. Ordinarily I wouldn’t respond favourably to this kind treatment, but with more thought it becomes clear that this is the normal behaviour in the native country. We weren’t too bothered as our senses were being tickled by the lovely smells rising from the kitchens below.
Another thing that I find that interests me about these places is the actual building itself. The original Victorian building has often been customised to look like a typical Chinese period property. The style reminds me of an oriental temple, and looks like they could have been transplanted from the far east and reassembled in Soho.
Whether I am buying a takeaway meal or eating in the restaurant, I enjoy ordering the set-menus which cater for a number of people. This is a social method of eating that is fun, and allows your group to share and experience similar tastes.
