There's a much smaller floating Chinese restaurant in Amsterdam off to the left of central station near the doubletree Hotel, it's OK but not in the same league as the Hong Kong one was.

mackem 23,822 Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 In the interests of research I have just had lunch in The Good Earth in Esher high street,beloved by Chelsea football players and celebrities,very good English versions of Chinese food easily up to mC HULL standards.

BeckyBarker 1 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 (edited) Sounds like you stumbled upon some real gems! I totally get the vibe of finding those authentic, bustling places that just keep you coming back. I've had similar experiences at a korean restaurant auckland. The energy and flavors were just out of this world. It's those places where you feel like part of the family, even if you're not from the same background.
