Chinese Food in Ottawa
Thought about this too late... but might do a more comprehensive piece on chink food in Ottawa.
Pieces on individual chinese restaurants are spread out all over this blog....
In summary though, chinese food in Ottawa is very average to low in quality and high in price... Oligopolistic price increases led by the larger oligarchs like Yangtze have made eating chinese food as expensive as European food…. And the customers in Ottawa have a large burden to bear for this... they should be much fussier about eating authentic, traditional and well priced chinese food…. We do live in a knowledge society? At least that’s the buzz-word these days… Vote with your feet… for such a politico city….
And the weather is not conducive to some of the better chefs from Hong Kong or China (or even Toronto or Vancouver) ever wanting to settle in a place like this… (The really good cooks also don’t like Montréal much because of the political situation with the PQ… chinese are high avoidance people…) unless there were some real attractions… perhaps like a higher price… but when the food sucks and the prices are high… something is wrong…..
But this is not a spot for economics or political debates… just food and taste and value…
Other Asian foods, like Thai, Korean and Japanese are already overpriced… and there really aren’t any real Vietnamese restaurants other than fast food and Pho…
