Chinese Food / restaurants

[fabman]

Does anyone know of any Chinese restaurants in HH or nearby ( apart from the White Lotus )
These restaurants used to be the most popular back in the UK until Indian food took over.
I miss sweet & sour chicken ( hong kong style ) chicken chow mein, roast duck & orange sauce etc
Ok i am not sure if these dishes are authentic Chinese , but they taste really good

Thanks for any heads up

Can't help with the restaurants in HH - personally I've never found (or particularly looked hard for) any Chinese or Cantonese restaurants. The dishes you mention are Cantonese rather than Chinese.

Cantonese dialect/food comes from Northern China ( i think )

Yes, if you live in the Philippines.

However, correct me if I'm wrong but there are many different types of Chinese cuisine: Northern, Shanghainese, Sichuanese, Hunanese, Funanese, Cantonese and what not.

Beijing style is of course southern food, if you live in Harbin.

The name Canton gives it away a little..... It's the Guangzhou region of (South) China - just across the water from Hong Kong.

Indeed you are correct BG - big, big differences with regards to Sichuan, Huan etc. "Cantonese" however is not classed as Chinese by many Chinese - including the LHG.... and who am I to argue??!!

There's a Chinese place now in Soi 94 (it was switching back and forth between Japanese and Chinese for a while, it was hilarious, but I think they decided to stick with Chinese). I never tried it.

Go west on 94 to the T junction, take a right, immediately followed by a left into a smaller road (=Soi 94 continued), go on for 50 meters and it will be to your right (https://goo.gl/maps/clLwW).

If you don't mind a drive, go to Cha Am the big hotel farthest south has a Chinese in it.
Make sure you got plenty of coin on you
