First Thing I received A Call from Jack Levy's Office,

my truck insurance documents had arrived, so a quick trip to pick them up, during the day I spent some more time on my stamps, also I popped in to see Don for a coffee and a chat, a number of friends called in over the afternoon, Mr. Tony, Mark and Phil, for the evening we decided on a Chinese meal, the first restaurant we called into did not sell any red wine so we moved on to find the China Garden on Soi Lengkee, it is one of the streets that run from Soi Bukaow to Third Road, what a find! Mark had mentioned to us that he had heard good things about it although it had only been open for two months or so,

there is inside or outside tables, the kitchen is in full view,

at the far end of the dining area,

'Cheers!, there is a full selection of beers including draft Asahi beer,

there were prawn crackers on our table to nibble at, Diana had a won tun soup for a starter, I had chicken and sweetcorn, both bowls were huge, almost a meal in themselves,

for the next course we had duck with spring onions, cucumber, sauce and pancakes,

great fun making your own rolls,

next a selection of starters, I know it is the wrong way round, but why not?

chicken satay, crispy spring rolls, spare rib and sesame seed covered prawns on toast, by now we were full, the bill with out drinks came to 590 baht, which I thought was very good, especially as we had come to try the chow mien, but we were so full we could not eat another morsel, Diana remarked her sisters camera detects smiles then automatically takes a picture, well so does ours!

although it does get fooled some times!

this is the sign to look for outside the restaurant,

for us a great find, thanks Mark! we will be back, if you like UK Chinese food I would suggest you try it too,

just as an aside parking is a bit difficult, but just opposite is a hotel where you can park, 40 baht for cars, 20 baht for bikes,

they do take aways as well,

some of the menu,

the rest of the menu,

then home feet up for Poirot, this one entitled The Clocks, unfortunately this one had more twists and turns than a twisty turny thing, investigating a spy-ring, Lt. Colin Race comes to Wilbraham Crescent, where he literally bumps into agency typist Sheila Webb, as she comes flying out of number 19, the home of blind receptionist Millicent Pebmarsh, Sheila has discovered the body of a man whose identity proves hard to confirm, surrounded by four clocks, stopped at the same time, I totally lost the plot about two thirds of the way through it, as did Diana, so after watching the finish for us it was off to bed.
