Taste Memory, I speak Mandarin but at dim sum places, they’re usually Cantonese. They can understand me but sometimes choose not to. I have heard I need to go with Korean friends to get the good stuff at Korean restaurants. =(

Knife, it’s funny how people like someone just cause they’re from the same place, huh?

@taste memory: I hate it when there is hair in my food. I just can’t eat it. You can return it in a restaurant. But what if its a take away and you see it at home? I am a Bengali and from West bengal in india. I stay at Bombay which is at the other end of India. A number of resturant staff AND flower sellers at Bombay are Bengali. I often break into Bengali and have occassionally got discounts or preference in restaurant waiting queues

sometimes I have to force myself not to say anything at restaurants if things go to faulter…it seems like it’s always my luck to have something arrive with a knot of hair in it or gobs of food attached to the silverware. Yes, lukewarm would have bothered me, I don’t speak Mandarin or otherwise so service might be iffy when I go. When at Korean restaurants, I have to force myself to speak Korean in order to get better service and all the special banchan they save in the back for the real Koreans. *sigh*

@Jessica: I ordered a Chinese takeaway where the side dish was too satly. I called them back and made them replace it. Restaurants charge quite a bit after all.
@Soopling: Head to india next time you want to Dim Sums Most good Chinese restaurants have a nice selection. Interestingly, momos, which are Tibetian didm sums/ dumplings came to India first, especially to Delhi and Calcutta. possibly because of the refuggees

Knife, I agree, but in a less violent way, haha

Soopling, are there any decent Chinese places over there?
