mickmac 54 #17 Posted March 2, 2012 I must admit I quite like going to the Holiday Inn for Chinese food. A little more expensive the most places, though not the Fujian. The only thing that lets it down is lack of atmosphere. there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ARISTIDE 236 #18 Posted March 2, 2012 I think some farang should start a Chinese takeout joint in Chiang Mai like Panda express or something and he will be filthy rich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LemanRus 16 #22 Posted March 3, 2012 Owner of Mei Jiang is Cantonese from Hongkong there's nothing Thai about the his food. Excellent food, don't forget another branch 'Yangsee Jiang' in Nimmanhaemin. Both provide Authentic Cantonese style food Fujian at Dara Devi Oriental chef also from Hongkong excellent meal. I dare you to try it. Jia Tong Heng is more like Thai interpretation of Chinese food but cheap. Owner attitude toward me was pretty rude and arrogant. 'Chow mein' is more like American Chinese food and there's no where in Thailand that I know of making them The one near Teppanya Hospital also Jia Tong Heng. There's no good Chinese food here. It's all Thai Chinese food or Thai food with a Chinese spin. I've tried all the places recommended except the large place off the Super Highway near Teppanya Hospital and didn't like any of them. Cantonese style is my favorite. If you ask for chow mein anywhere, they look at you and have no idea what you are talking about. "Chow Mein" in Cantonese is fried (Chow) mee(Mein).and its that's a particular type of noodle as you know there are a wide variety of noodles. And Jia Tong Heng is Teochew and that's from the mouth of a native of the eastern Guangdong province. I'd be interested to know why the original shop has kept its non airconditioned area. Is it less expensive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malibukid 406 #23 Posted January 11 strange that there is not decent Chinese food here. tried the Lucky Cafe at Maya and it was just mediocre. with all the Chinese coming to CM you would think that a few new places would open up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are many Chinese food, just go to Warorot which is CM's Chinatown and Anusarn market. I see many Chinese tourists especially in Anusarn night market. They are owned by Thai Chinese.

Chinese food in the West is different to Chinese food in China though . You dont get (many )western style Chinese restaurants in Asia Edited January 11 by sanemax addition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Dusit Thani also has such a restaurant in the tower's top floor. in Bangkok, there is also "Crystal Jade" in the Emporium Mall. Delicious and many Western-style Chinese dishes.

Well yeah, there are probably a few , but what I meant was that generally , Chinese restaurants in Thailand are of the Chinese style , rather than the western style Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
