      @@TracyandColinTheFoodies There are loads of great Chinese restaurants in China Town. For a light, lunch try Duck noodle soup with some seasonal greens in Oyster sauce. But whatever you do for dinner you must try Crab with ginger and spring onion +++. Try the Lido restaurant in Gerard street always has a very good selection. N/B don't expect Chop Sui as know where will sell it, cos it's not Chinese. That's some concoction made up in the USA. If you can get it, try Jar Chang noodle soup. That'll wake your taste buds up. If you are there on a Sunday try Dim Som. Washed down with Chinese tea. Many different dishes all served off trollies. N/B don't expect plates & spoons and forks as you will get Chopsticks and a Chinese spoon and a bowl. Have a look at some of the Chinese supermarkets. Will open your eyes. regards. Hope you enjoy.
