Thanks Kivver May have a look. Had a fruitless tour of the high light areas of Birmingham this am. looking for Asian restaurants I use to frequent.

4-5 places have disappeared (possibly condemned), two have are now selling Italian food.

I think China has secretly invaded Birmingham.

Have been instructed to have a look at another Asian restaurant in Ladypool Road.

What is opinion of a Chinese as we will be backing onto China Town?

Any Brummies around here recommend a good eating house around China town....or just as Importantly warn us of any one's to avoid. A no smoker would be good as well.

chung ying garden and chung ying are fab but more expensive, the big wok is slighty less expensive also do a nice buffet. all very nice. my fav is 'tin tins' which is a bit further away just off broad street at brindley place but all very good. good curry house in the centre of town are harder to find.

shimla pinks on broad street has just been refurbished and looks a fine Indian Restuarant. I should be on commision.

Kivver,

went there once ages ago when I was still living in the midlands - had a great meal and an excellent time

Thanks Kiv, personally I'm looking for good value but see what the others come up with.

I think Broad Street might be on the more expensive side and a bit further away but will put It on the list, thanks both.

Cheers Ian, thats what brum has to offer nowadays, good pubs/clubs, eating houses, theatres and generally a good atmosphere and time. Pity im now in the age range where most are younger lol. Brum has done a lot to improve over the last 15 years and is now a top city. pity about my football team who got beat by West Ham last night.

couldn't agree with you more - I remember it as a desperate 70's city, then it was all change when I was working there for Schwab - the redevelopment around brindley place was excellent

Stan - The big wok is good value for the city centre. Even better value is Wing Wah Restaurant at Nechells but again a little taxi ride out of the city.

Jeez, what's with this lot. Birmingham, the curry capital of Britain and here we all are talking about the Chinese. In any British high street, now Indian is all you can get for a sit down meal! Look at what MAM chose for their Xmas do, even in London Town..........! Try Smethwick.

.

I think It's a case of someone with up to date local knowledge on the subject.

....Fred still doing research as we speak I expect -:)

Yes, indeed Stan. I just hope he is doing the right sort of research.........

Wolverhampton would be nearer home for you. Or what is that place midway with a station, Sandwell and Dudley Parkway?

Another thought. My local Sainsbury (this is not a buy/sell recommendation) is forever flogging off those ready made up Indian meals for two or four. We could always lay in a couple of those and resort to Fred's kitchen. On the other hand the local fishmonger - a rare thing round here - had some massive pieces of Skate on his slab. Might go well when curried. A couple of gallons of Home Brew and we'll be just fine...........

Now Fred has been trying to sort out his IP The Bs I think were down for hours. Quite frightening. Must out stop losses on all holdings. All the suggestions are feasible, may even consider Wing Yip. Have to check if it hasn't been converted to a Polish restaurant.

Let you know later.

If I get back.

Consider a wholesalers eh, oh i see to get the ingredients, then cook a meal.

Kivver, Fred is noted for his skill with a French Tart........

.........or so he tells us!

I have found a suitable place for 55011 in LadyPool Road. Stan, we can leave 55011 and perhaps pick him up later.

There are a couple of "original" balties near there. Suppose to be good. Try our luck out.

If everybodies happy other wise it is Fish and chips and curried flavoured Ketchup.

Sounds good to me.

Saleems is a cracker and King of the Baltis one on the Ladypool Road. My Fav good old fashioned Balti House is Punjab Paradise which appears to have moved from Moseley to Ladypool Road. Just watch where you park your cars lads.
