Is this the worst name ever for a Chinese restaurant?

[Trufflehound]

One of my local Chinese in Eindhoven has undergone a recent name change.

I'm not eating there again on principle.

Again?!?!

 

[Trufflehound]

Again?!?!

It used to do good food when it was called something innocuous like the Kam Po*.







(*And yes, I am aware of the hilarious double entendre in there too...)

 

[Chabal]

The City Wok.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Move to another city like Den Bosch

I like the one in Peacehaven "Wing Fat", Pretty descriptive of their chicken chow mein I recall.

There is/was a place in Mitcham/Sutton area called "Lots of Rice" which is pretty poor, and of course closer to home, the shockingly named "Brighton Wok", does that place still exist?

There was a Chinese chippy on the outskirts of Southend called "Foo King", I kid you not!

 

[Man of Harveys]

Do they serve burnt orange in honour of the chairman?

I have occasionally thought of doing this. Only problem with Maastricht though, lovely as it is, is that it's also teeming with my ex-colleagues, many of whom I really have no desire to bump into every time I go into town (I worked in Sittard for 8 years, but NOBODY lives there unless they were born there).

There's one just around the corner from here called Fuk Wei.

Best name I ever saw though was one in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, called "Soon Fat".

I think it's good how they've menaged to get the words " Dim " & " Crystal Palace " on the same sign, They go together very well.

Does Alan sugar like burnt orange then?

I used to live in Hoensbroek, between Brunssum and Heerlen, great people, enjoyed it a lot round there, was 20 odd years ago though and it was pretty built up back then, bet it's a fair bit more busy nowadays.

I'm not sure Heerlen's changed an awful lot.

You must have left just as I arrived. REALLY DULL trivia alert: it was 19 years ago this very day, 16 June 1989, that I first moved to Eindhoven.

There was a very good Indian restaurant in Sittard, it seemed to be run by one man...who took your order then disappeared off into the kitchen to prepare the food, it took ages to get your meal but it was well worth the wait.

I heard a lovely story about Heerlen, which is reputed to be the town with the biggest drugs problem in the whole country. Apparently they were expecting a Royal visit, on the day in question the local authorities rounded up all the junkies, put them on a bus and sent them to the zoo for the day...a bit of a bizarre way to clean the streets up!!!

A Chinese take away near our house here is called 'Good Luck Chinese Takeaway'. Doesn't really tempt me to give them a try!
