Pretty much spot on that fella, know lots of Chinks and they all smile when the Chinese food for the English is mentioned.
Did you ever get to the famous Dim Sum Restaurant in NY Bosun (Carp in the entrance), the best outside of China.
May have mate, if it was a scruffy gaff in China town (and the carp rings a bell), went there for a huge Dim Sum, feckin awsome! Though it was 18 years since and my mate over there hits a few for different types of food, i.e. best Dim Sum, fish etc.
