    I'm from NYC and think London has the best Chinatown in the Western world. Love the ambiance, restaurant quality, variety and the fact that there are no cars. So nice in the Summer and Fall.

    My daughter loves Chinatown. We go all the time. I don't even want to know how much money I've spent there over the years. We always get dinner there and buy loads in the supermarkets to take home. It's the best. We are going this weekend, so thanks for the recommendations. Great vid.

    The bit between the yolk and egg white can turn blue or grey after it's been cooked, I'm guessing they did those the day before and steamed them to serve the next day if it was warm, for it to look like that, completely safe though.

    That crepe is called Jian Bing. You can sometimes get different pickles in there as well. It's also not chilli oil, its a slightly sweet chilli paste that's used. The crispy part is a fried crispy cracker. Additionally, the tea eggs are also boiled in soy sauce and spices, the tea itself is almost optional these days. The sesame balls are called Jian Dui and the filling is a red bean paste (not mung beans as the woman stated as that would be green). Mr Wu is the quintessential cheap as chips buffet to fill yourself up.
