China Town, Kolkata

To quench the thirst for Chinese food, we've had a nice eating out at a Chinese restaurant.





Imagine, this is my first time talking to localist in Mandarin! It was a middle-age man sitting at the roadside, we were asking the direction. He mentioned, most of the Chinese (or youngsters prefer to call them Chinkies) here can speak Mandarin, they are Hakka. His mandarin is very good, with some slang of the authentic real Chinese people.

Talking about Chinese, in the coming 23 June, 4 Chinese interns from Beijing would be coming to fulfill their traineeship in Banglanatak. I wish I have the opportunity to meet them!

Talking back of the Chinese Restaurant, Kim Ling. We ordered Honey Chicken, Stir Fried Spinach and Black Pepper Crab Meat. Yun Ling and I wish to eat tofu, as stated in the menu, however tofu was not available on that particular day. Quite dissappoited...







Anyway, being able to eat the plain steam rice with the dishes was really a pleasant experience. At that moment, I think of Dad, as he is always the one bringing us to chinese restaurant during the lovely weekend evenings. I let him have a conversation with Mr.Raja, as he was the one who brought us for the lovely dining out. It's funny to know dad was conversed in English. LOl!







In the end of the meal, we were served with a small bowl of colourful mouth freshener. The taste was "exciting" to me, the dried herbs and some sort of pungent flavour really excited my palate.
Cheers!
