Chinese food?

[Arthur Little]

Used to enjoy going to Chinese Restaurants - British style - but, having sampled the many [other] *delights of 15 days' holiday in China itself five years ago, I cannot honestly say that the actual cuisine of the World's 2nd-largest nation was one of *them. Two weeks of never being entirely sure what was served-up ... even in the "poshest" of their hotels ... proved too much of a challenge for my palate ... and I made a point of consuming as many as three helpings of the English buffet-style breakfasts on offer each morning - in case I didn't fancy the fare being dished up on the carousel tables at lunchtimes.

Same as me Arthur, I've been very surprised by the offerings in Hong Kong and Singapore, as much as I love travelling, I also love sampling the local foods on offer when on my travels. A bowl of pig ear or pig organ soup, fat and gristle or boiled pig trotters in a watery oily liquid doesnt count as food in my book
