The Fortune Star Restaurant at Lancaster, UK
On the cold Saturday night, I was looking for a restaurant or a take away in Lancaster. After walking over in many lanes (I anyway love walking) I decided I would try out a Chinese restaurant by the name of the Fortune Star. I, after all, like Chinese food a lot in India.
It was such a pleasure to get inside the warm restaurant because outside it felt as if it was freezing. This was the day when I had walked for the entire day to Morecambe too. The restaurant seemed to be much in demand and it was quite crowded. The smiling lady at the counter told me that seats would not be possible for a long time but if I wish to take away the food, they would take my order.
So I went in for egg rice and assorted vegetables, both are dishes that I enjoy a lot. While I was waiting for the food to arrive I clicked the picture of that cute statue with the tray of drinks. When the food arrived, I walked back in anticipation of enjoying it in the peace and warmth of my room.
After I settled in my room, I opened the dishes and started gobbling them down. I realized the rice dish was OK as the egg pieces in it had some salt. But the vegetable dish with mushrooms, baby corn and stuff had no salt in it at all. It was a little late at night and I didn’t wish to disturb my hosts at the bed and breakfast for salt.
So, I gobbled what I could and the rest I unfortunately had to throw away! The tea tray and the hot water kettle in my room were my saviors that night. And I as I always say, I sleep better after a cup of tea.
wondering how that statue is balanced with so much of wait (bottles) on one side.
I once entered a chinese restaurant in the US and I had to leave immediately because I could not tolerate the smell.. 🙁
That's a nice cute wide eyed doll. I loved the picture.
Nilesh no idea, maybe the bottles are plastic or the statue is nailed to the top?Madhat I have heard of that, however with this one there was no such smell, only no salt in the dish :DThank you Chitra.
I've always been very skeptical of Chinese Chinese. The veggie dishes are very bland and mostly it is just veggies.Indian Chinese on the other hand is lip-smacking 🙂
I would have ordered beer and chicken and gulped them both and slept
I agree Sid, Indian Chinese is my favorite.Tarun I am not a big fan of beer. 😀
