Chinese food

Chinese lunch team: Sven, Jakob, Johannes, Nichol, Smoking Guy, and me. We went to this shop near the Alter Posthof(old post office) and had our chinese lunch. I ordered Szechuan chicken with rice. Comes with a complementary soup. Other guys had crispy duck(which was great) and others had sweet and sour meat stuff. When it came I realized its like the xiao chao that I used to eat with my course mates. Haha, it taste not as spicy(naturally toned down) and you can say that I have had better.

Owner of the shop is South Chinese so looks like us, wife is like thai-vietnamese-cambodia kind of look. Daughter looks 'tastier' tho. Hehe. But dark skinned like Chuan Li. They had sambal which was very mild but very salty. My Szechuan suffered from that too, less spicy more salty. I think its to accomodate them German folks. The guys wanted to use chopsticks, I just used fork and spoon-- nubs. Lol and few fellas did use the chopsticks real well and in the right way especially Smoking Guy whose name I forgot.

The bill came up for me was €9.70-- yeah its cuisine here but xiao chao at KL. I guess its ok but I left feeling a little unsatisfied and with a slight stomach disturbance. We were about to leave then an old guy came for suppe(soup), keropok(crackers) and bier (beer).

Wonder should I have packed something ´tasty´ back? Sigh getting lonely here.
