🌊Testing fish for COVID

www.hightide.harbourtimes.com

Good morning,

Some guy at the pub said that British Singaporean Chow Mein is different from HK style Singaporean fried noodles (i.e. 星州炒米). Apparently the sauce is based on a madras curry, rather than the dry curry powder used in an HK version.

The irony is, living in Chinatown means I can actually only get legitimate and authentic Chinese food around here. Even with the beauty of deliveroo, it took me about 20 minutes of searching before I could find a truly English Chinese takeaway.
