Cheers fella, I'll give it whirl next time then. And that was another thing, Chaes don't do Singapore style vermicelli / noodles / chow mein, the gits! So I got 'Special' chow mein which was absolutely anything but!ohjimmyjimmy wrote:Tak Ming...i can recommend the chinese food there Bruce, from experience....filllet of steak strips in a bbq sauce nom nommm also recommend the singapore style chow mein (spicy !) - the fish & chips however, not really a patch on Chaes.Bruce Rioja wrote:Aye, there's another one a couple of doors down that I just don't like the look of and there's rarely anyone in it.Prufrock wrote:There are two Chinese Chippies in Adlington. One can do fish and chips, but the Chinese isn't great; the other is pish for both!
Why can't there be one place that does both just as well...life's not fair !

May the bridges I burn light your way

There's usually a few of us that do Tak Ming once a month or so, they usually chuck in a free bottle of red wine if the order's over 35/40 quid and a couple bags of prawn crackers.Bruce Rioja wrote:Cheers fella, I'll give it whirl next time then.

I'm sure Tek Ming is a money laundering job
Not that they'll launder much

I always think that about the myriad Asian take-aways up Daubhill way. How on earth do they all stay open?CAPSLOCK wrote:I'm sure Tek Ming is a money laundering job

Had a bottle of Three Choirs Annum (made in Gloucestershire) on friday night with some scallops and Merguez sausage. Top stuff.
Also had the pleasure of few Tim Taylor's Landlord over the weekend at the No Name. Beltin.

Chef - tell me now. I love scallops to be served with their roe. Why is this no longer an option in restaurants?Lord Kangana wrote:Had a bottle of Three Choirs Annum (made in Gloucestershire) on friday night with some scallops and Merguez sausage. Top stuff.

I have heard two explanations - but I have no idea if either of them is actually true or not - and they might both be bollox!
1. the roe goes off quicker - so to remove it kind prolongs the shelf-life... if you are served one WITH the roe - it means it is fresher....
2. the row takes longer to cook properly than the other bit - so if the roe is cooked properly, the main bit will be overcooked...
but - as I said - that could easily be a bag of bollox!!
Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
a third explanation is that maybe a lot of people don't like the different texture of the roe - and so restaurants pander to an easier-to-organise one-size-fits-all and serve everyone the lowest common denominator...

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Interesting takes, Bish. I'd possibly go as far as to say that I actually prefer both the depth of flavour and the texture of the roe,

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
The refurb's OK. There's only so much that they can do with the place though. They really need to put an extractor in the gents though. They've bricked up the windows and tiled over them, so they fecking stink. What time are you going in? There's a bird singing tonight. I'm tempted to meet you for a pint but I'm half cut.Wandering Willy wrote:I shall be trying that shortly. How's the refurb?Bruce Rioja wrote:Chef - tell me now.

Not tonight. Next home game though definately. Maybe a run in the morning around the Jumbles to justify it.
Is the Dyson still in the hallway by the gents?

So why not simply separate them (as obviously happens anyway) and cook them individually?Lord Kangana wrote:Number 2 is correct.
