My oldest friend lives in London ( well, in Hampstead, when in England ), so the first time we went to China town, we invited her and her spouse along. :-)
The most "interesting" part of the meal, was that finger bowls, to rinse our fingers off in ( they used to do that here, in America too, but with warm water with a lemon slice in it! ), contained warm TEA! And it worked really well! :-)
Ooh, Pizza Express is an amazing chain that serves alcohol and excellent pizza. It’s been in business for maybe 50 years and was the author/cook Laurie Colwin’s go-to meal after eating in the houses of her cheap British friends. Really an excellent pizza restaurant!
A sweet Facebook friend of mine also swears by Spaghetti House, a chain I always turned my nose up. Well, this typically smart Jewish-American ex-pat told me I didn’t know what I was sneering about: Spaghetti House is excellent, lol!
