Very much doubt it. Why do you think we have over two million Chinese living here now.

I was in a huge food court there. Self serve about 200 meters long. Couldn't find anything i would eat and I normally like Chinese food. Hope the guys can access cheese and ham sandwiches.
Thought this thread had become racist crap. Turns out to have been hideously prescient!
To say my post was racist crap is highly insulting. ...IMHFO,

Bulldust. It's not about what you eat. 99% of the time it is the way food is prepared

Always racist when you denigrate other cultures cuisine
bulls*** and offensive.

Asian people make more fun out of their cuisines more than anyone.

Nothing wrong with denigrating or praising a nations cuisine. It’s all personal opinion. But anywhere you can get good and bad. Except the Phillipines of course - just bad. Real bad.

Ok if your an Aussie having a bit of a laugh, but put yourself in their shoes. If you are a poor Chinese peasant and your everyday staples are being ridiculed how would you feel? You are also insinuating that their food is crap and that's one of the reasons they are migrating here...seriously?!!

Well, the food I saw was crap, and that may well be one of the lifestyle reasons 1 million Chinese have migrated here, after all our overall living standards are far superior to those of china. Face up to the facts and stop being offensive.

What was on the menu at this restaurant pray tell? Delhi Belly with a dessert of Montezuma's Revenge?
Heavens to Betsy, if it does transpire that they were taken to a restaurant by a club official then serious action needs to take place. The members must have their satisfaction!

It's not racist. It is people talking about their own experiences.

China is a very different place. Very different.

The food in Shanghai is world class. They have some incredible restaurants and cuisines from all around the world. I shall admit that some of the Chinese restaurants there serve “different” food to what we know as Chinese food (which is mainly Hong Kong based dishes) but the actual standard of food is very very good.

Hmm living standards is such a subjective consideration. As always, living standards has much to do with how much money you have. Shanghai for those with money has so much to offer..I know as I have many expat friends who live there and would never return to the outer suburbs in Melbourne where they spend all their time in cars. Shanghai is simply an amazing city...for those with enough money. And the food is simply awesome.
