China Blue

Our stay in Glasgow is going to come to an end in three months time. After that, we will be flying back home and start our job as government 'dogs'. Of course, before we leave, we try to enjoy every moment of our stay here. Life here has been great and looking back, there are many wonderful memories to be shared together. One of them is our constant lookout for Chinese restaurants in ang-mo land. Sometimes, I always wonder to myself the reason why my housemates (especially Ah Min) always choose to have Asian food when we dine outside. Didn't we eat Asian/Chinese dishes for the past 20 years??? I thought we were supposed to try out what the ang-mohs usually eat over here. Everytime we decide to eat out, the list of restaurants that crop up are always Asia Style, Chukoku, Kama Sutra, Starwalk, China Blue, Kokoryu, and IchiBan (n.b. all these restaurants either serve Chinese/Indian or Jap/Korean food). We have dined at all these places and the food was just so-so except for China Blue. So far, China Blue serves the best dishes and probably is the best in Glasgow City (im my opinion la). We had a hard time finding the place as it was located in quite a secluded street. Had to call JY for the location. The interior of the place was just like a typical Chinese restaurant in Malaysia. The place serves various types of Chinese dish you can ever imagined. Just looking at the menu makes our mouth water. Some of the dishes we ordered were...

King prawns with egg-white bits. Don't let the picture deceive you. Although it looked nice, the taste of it was so-so. The prawns were kind of soft and the egg-white bits were 'wet'. A big dissapointment of the night...

Fried chicken pieces with sweet and sour sauce. The sauce was cooked to perfection and the chicken were crispy and tender at the same time...

This was even better. Chicken pieces with lemon sauce. Very appetizing due to the tangy sauce...

Seafood belacan. We thought it was supposed to be red/orangey color because of the belacan. Mana tau it turned out to be white in color =.=". It didn't have any belacan taste or aroma. However, it was still spicy and hot due to the cili padi. This dish had generous portions of prawns, sotong, and scallops...very worthy of your pounds...

Claypot minced pork and tofu with salted fish. Super nice!!!

The star of the night was this kai lan dish. Damn delicious. Probably because we had been deprived of kai lan for so long. Plus, there were lots of scallops in it. The main drawback was the price of it. This cost 15 pounds...

Took some photos after the meal. Want to hightlight the fact that our boss is always ready for the camera 24/7. She damn sensitive to camera flash...all of us were not ready except for her...

All oso posers la...

Finally, a proper picture...boss like never move or change her expression at all from the 1st photo...

In short, China Blue is the place to go if you wanna try delicious+scrumptious+yummy Chinese food.

On an unrelated note, here's a photo of the perpetrator of the Virginia Tech massacre...

What was he thinking when he shoot all those innocent people before taking his own life? Looking at his pic gives me the creeps. I guess he lost the purpose of living and didn't value his life...was quite interested in the news because the shooter was an Asian. And hopefully, this incident doesn't bring out any racist attacks against us Asians....I' m still living in an ang-mo land......
