I apologise for the sheer un-Pc’ness of the title. Come on, it’s funny! It was a toss up betw
een that and the “Me so solly!!” line from Krusty the Clown. Flapping dickie anyone?
So everytime we want to order in Stephen votes for Chinese and he is always immediately veto’ed. Not because I don’t like Chinese but because we simply haven’t found a really awesome Chinese takeaway yet. I would constantly argue that my old Chinese in Belfast rocked the house and was far superior to any that I’ve had here in England and Stephen would constantly argue back that they’re pretty much all the same. Well. We went to Belfast a couple of weeks ago and after a few drinks at the pub we went back, ordered a Chinese (although not from my beloved Emerald City as they heard rumours of “hygiene issues”) and it was just. so. lovely. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence, I know that there are really good Chinese places here in Brighton, I just have no idea where or who they are. I don’t mean posh Chinese either, although I’ll be reviewing some of that soon since I have my FOF voucher for Gars down in the old lanes.
What I need are your suggestions so that I can finally say to Stephen, “Yes. Yes we can order that Chinese tonight.”

Brighton Wok (270490) is by far the best Chinese, especially for chilli loving vegetarians - try the Sechwan Bean Curd and the vegetarian dumplings.
It’s not in the league of those fantastic place in NewYork (or Belfast) but it’s the best we’ve got.
