When people ask me (they rarely do, I wonder why?) what kind of food I like my answer is Chinese and then I add Indian Chinese and not Chinese Chinese! I have had Chinese Chinese (in the real sense) only once at Singapore and it was so bland for my Indian taste buds that I decided it is not for me.
Not so with Indian Chinese, it is sufficiently spicy and I really enjoy it.
So, when I was in Bangalore and met Lakshmi for lunch she did ask me what would I like to eat. After taking a lot of time I finally stated my wish, Chinese and Chinese it was. Her friends had recommended Chung Wah and that is where we headed.
Now when I am sitting in the January chill of Gurgaon, I remember all the more clearly how beautiful the weather was and the terrace of the restaurant is actually nice!
Another thing that I like is Mushroom, mushroom and more mushrooms! And I started with Mushroom Soup and Lakshmi had ordered Hot and Sour soup. After the first spoon both of us readily concurred that the soups tasted really good! So far so good.
Both us shared the rice and the vegetables and the portions (for us) were quite generous, the food worth writing a post about! I can heartily recommend Chung Wah, it is in Jayanagar 3rd block.
And now it is somewhat late at night in India and I am craving for Maggi (some more Chinese noodles made by Nestle) but there is none in stock! I think I will have to do with some bread and eggs. What a let down.
Chinese Chinese food is only for the Chinese 🙂 I totally agree.
We just had Maggie for dinner! This food looks so good …
Chinese food in China was so bad that after a visit to Shanghai, I am off all kinds of Chinese food for life!!
Looks good…and craving for maggie is a common thing with me too….:-)
Harish, I am glad to see there are others who feel the same way.Bindu, I made Maggi with sabzi, (vegetables) and salt as my nephews sometimes finish the Masala (spices) early!Anonymous I can understand that! I also felt I had the taste I get after prolonged fever when I had authentic Chinese! But then that is just us!You too Ajeya!
I envy people who can tolerate spicy. :o)
I visit Chung Wah at Koramangala and the food there is really value for money. Wah Chung.
Paradox, I can tolerate a little bit of spice not too much!Kalyan, I agree, the best part at Chung Wah was the moderate bill after the meal.
and I overate…:)
I don’t think so at all Lakshmi!
