The tip I was told was if you see Chinese folk eating in a Chinese restaurant it must be a good one. I've seen Chinese students eating in a couple of places on the Southside but I suspect it's the equivalent of a bog standard chip shop for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a chap at our school called Callan George. I don't think he had a hyphen but was from a posh Gaeltacht family. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be such an establishment on Suchiehall St, Glasgow called The Canton Express. Solid clientele of elderly Chinese folk. They had a handwritten sign taped to the counter which said "dont ask for chips, we don't make them". Best Chinese I've ever had in my life. Sadly gone now, probably driven out by the inferior buffet style places surrounding it. Their seafood kon sui was something I still hanker after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a real bummer when a favourite eatery goes under. I used to love a particular Vietnamese place in Denver where I was often the only, or at least one of very few non-Vietnames eating there. Mrs Shotgun and I paid a visit at the end of last year and I was immediately wary when I saw the place was mostly full of westerners. Sure enough, the food was syrupy, sticky goo in a shade of orange not found in nature. About as Vietnamese as I am. New owners, new clientele, cross it off the list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 however, there are very few chinese takeaways who arent peddling MSG trashConveniently for you, you happen to live very close to one that doesn’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Conveniently for you, you happen to live very close to one that doesn’t. Correct [emoji16]With an outstanding Indian even closer. We are very well served here in Larbert for the big 3 takeaways. Not so much for anything more exotic, but can get sushi, Thai, Italian and burgers etc from Falkirk if the mood takes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Vietnamese for the first time 2 years ago. Theres a few places in Glasgow now. Highly recommended. I've had Pho a few times. Weirdly, it doesn't look much but it's very satisfying. Kinda like the tardis of east asian cuisine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Had a cracking Chinese takeaway the other night. The MSGs kicked it around 2am and I was buzzed until the next night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hamburg is an amazing city, as long as you go nowhere near the Reeperbahn.Absolutely, and a cracking place to go with kids too with Minatur Wonderland, the Zoo, the Planetarium, the dungeon etc. and if you go when the Dom carnival is there then there are rides for young and old alike as well as the usual sweets and fast food outlets (the last time I was there the biggest queue was for corn on the cob?). Even the Reeperbahn was fine to have a wander down during the day or in the early ish evening. Basically as long as it wasn't late at the weekend it felt fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrific practice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Szamo's_Ammo Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Tattoos are shit. People with tattoos telling you in great detail the reason behind every single one of theirs is even worse. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I'm not a fan of tattoos but my unpopular opinion is that they don't have to be meaningful. Nobody expects the design on your hoodie to be meaningful so why should the one on your arm be? If folk just want something that looks nice that's fine by me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szamo's_Ammo Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I do find awful tattoos of family quite funny and I do appreciate the artistic skill of top tattooists. Nearly got one in Ibiza in 2013 but sobered up in time. It's just not for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
