I suppose it's a factor of coming from NY, the source of all my faults, but I don't think Turkish and Thai fit into some kind of "ethnic" category for me, such that the two could be interchangeable. Really good stirfry of some other Asian/unspecified pan-Asian cuisine would do, but Turkish...Phoebe Maltz Bovyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996039330841139883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-79988298816943855162011-07-10T23:59:48.561-04:002011-07-10T23:59:48.561-04:00In the Ruhr, I stuck to Turkish food when I wanted...In the Ruhr, I stuck to Turkish food when I wanted ethnic vittels, and other than preferring my food spicy -- this is Germany -- was generally pleased.<br /><br />I did not dare the Thai, but I hear there's pretty decent SE Asian food in Berlin (now, not 15 years ago).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-37081253163159457802011-07-10T16:08:16.852-04:002011-07-10T16:08:16.852-04:00Well, you probably didn't miss much.

I haven't eaten at the 2 Chinese restaurants in HP, one looks like a money laundering operation, and the other looks like a lower rent version of Panda express.Brittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02224221011978374915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-49525406538548874322011-07-10T16:03:07.593-04:002011-07-10T16:03:07.593-04:00Your comment re: wings reminds me that my husband ...Your comment re: wings reminds me that my husband wishes to correct the story - what first happened was that the group came in and asked if <i>that</i> establishment - i.e. the Thai place - served schnitzel, and only when they learned otherwise (and my goodness, this place could not have had a kitschier "Thai" decor), did they get directed elsewhere. The wings story is making me think that maybe it's not so inconceivable that an "Asian" restaurant would also serve local favorites.<br /><br />And, I don't remember having any Chinese food, good or bad, in HP. In Chinatown, yes. And really, really good Vietnamese food near Argyle. (Yes, I could go for some of that right about now.)Phoebe Maltz Bovyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996039330841139883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-56386620361896067512011-07-10T15:54:50.170-04:002011-07-10T15:54:50.170-04:00My brother said the worst Chinese food he ever ate...My brother said the worst Chinese food he ever ate was in Berlin (in fairness, this was 15 years ago), so I guess it's not surprising Thai food in Heidelberg would be even worse.<br />I had the worst Chinese food in recent memory from one of the only Chinese restaurants that delivers to HP. I should have known when one of the two reviews gave it 5 stars for serving fries with their bbq wings.Brittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02224221011978374915noreply@blogger.com
