Coimbatore Manchurian

Secon time in this month i'm dining out with my head, first the food was indian at a restaurant near stadium,Coimbatore, we finished our dinner without a dessert, the restaurant was all prepared to close, the time was past eleven. I wanted to taste the shawarma but we were really late, that made me to visit again to the restaurant a week after. I do not know how the real middle east shawarma taste like, but this one was good, the only comment is 'too much filling'. We winded the place after an hour and on our way back home we tought of a chinese restaurant next time.

The next time came all of a sudden, without planning , there are a couple of chinese restaurants in coimbatore, i have been to one of them but my all time outlet is Shinkows, ooty. The dinner was at nin hao, the restaurant was renovated and it smelled new, expected to find something new in the menu, after fifteen minutes of browsing the menu we ended up with lungfung soup, mixed fried rice, roasted pork and nin hao noodles. Thanks to Travel and living where Kylie Kwong traveling to China for inspiration for her cooking, to the boomtown city of Shanghai and other chinese regions, where she meets many who share her passion for food, from her recipes and what they cook in china we can make out what real chinese taste like.

To talk about our dishes in nin hao the soup was very thick with strong smell of spring onions, the fried rice was perfect ,roasted pork was highly spiced and the noodles had a smoky flavor we packed the remaining noodles , the food was good and tasty but i'm sure its not chinese, but every people here is happy with the food these chinese restaurants offer, perhaps , these restaurants prepare to the tase of the locals

When i think of cuisine china comes to my mind with its huge diversity in the culinary arts,I knew from kylie show that in shanghai the most common way to greet someone isn’t "How are you?" but "Have you eaten yet?" and i am happy with shinkows , ooty which gives you dishes which is 'Simply Magic' . I prefer to call all others as "Indo Chin Restaurant" rather calling it chinese.
Happy Eating!
