All up Robinsons buying the same readymade sauce, the only difference is the amount of msg being used. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will leave it up to your own imaginations.... 🙂 Never been there but I am sure it will have been on a par with other Chinese takeaways on the island, as in, not as good as the ones you find in the UK Once we used James Wong's, it was fab, We were looking to try again next week 😒 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with the samosa from most Curry houses. Spar has much better ones:-) in the ready to eat section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Hedgehog Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 City Cottage was good there until the original owners moved on. Don't think I have enjoyed a Chinese takeaway over here since. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha-acid Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 1 hour ago, mollag said: The "caramel" is also known as gravy browning, I am wondering just what stale bread would bring to a brew ?, not sugar or hops, no malted grain at all, just maybe,a poor source of yeast, which to be honest isn't expensive . IMHO it sounds like a gimmick. Yes it's the starch, but that has to be broken down to simple carbohydrates for the yeast to be able to utilise it. You can do this by either adding enzymes or adding Malt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they closed I moved on the the Majestic when it was in Onchan and now I’m very happy with China Town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
