Best chinese in the twin cities

My first experience with chinese food was on a road side bandi (pull cart shop) on Rajbhavan road in the year 2000.Kadi patta in noodles!!! how horrible it can be.First experience with chicken 65 was pretty good though.Then for almost 4 yrs in bangalore is definitely a nightmare for a food freek.
 Again in 2004 back to hyderabad,but never had a good chinese food(can't afford 5 star hotels).Quite surprisingly many of the waiters in chinese joints till today even dont know what momo is.Though originated in Tibet,but it is very famous with all chinese joints in kolkata.

Heard a lot about "Nanking".Seemed to be one of the city's culinary landmarks.With due respect to the sentiments of thousands of chinese foodlovers and loyal nanking customers in the twin cities, I must admit...its pretty bad!! Probably, the day when we had been to nan king, the cook must have been drunked and dopped.For all these years i have been to innumerable chinese joints all over the city.Some with an excellent ambience,some with good service and fancy interiors,chopstick eating and so on,but none with satisfactory food.The Chinese Room at banjara hills opposite to brand factory was just ok type.
Heard of Mainland China long before,but never gave it a try,porbably for the cost factor,till a few months back.I must admit, this "is" the best of all.Definitely the best chinese out of kolkata.Pricing is high,but for the taste, it is worth every penny.Not suggested for spicy eaters.Try chopstick eating only if u r perfectly used to,bocz it makes not point to mess up with a superb meal at mainland china just for the fancy of having with those tools.Mainland China...... a refreshing breeze in the chinese cuisine of this city.

  1. Actually, the manager at Nanking left recently and I think he has taken all the good food recipes along with him. the standards have gone down drastically. otherwise I think it is the only place in Hyderabad serving "Tangra type" chinese. and mainland china is always there for authentic chinese fare :)
