Before i start, i must confess, that quite a few of you, might accuse me of being biased after reading this. But, when it comes to food -
Thou shall only hear what your heart seeks...
Chung Fa has been on my list of joints for more than a decade now. Mr. Anthony who runs the place, always welcomes you with a smile and a twinkle in his eyes. And in a jiffy, comes up with good food.
Over the years not much has changed in terms of the decor or furniture. Except for the annual change of the Chinese calendar on the wall. As a matter of fact, food also tastes the same year after year.
Its my place of crime -
On a rainy day
On a shoe string budget day
Only girls outing day
Nostalgia day and so on...
A bowl of hot chicken soup with noodles, does wonders to your soul. It revives your spirit and gets you going for the grind again... The spring rolls are unmatched anyhwere in Shimla. And i can bet on that.
The Chinese and American chopsuey both are pretty decent. The sweet corn chicken soup is a favourite with my girls.
Bsically, Chinese food with very minimal Indianisation. My suggestion, stick to the basics, keep a blind eye to the decor, and enjoy...

Totally agree with you about this place. The dumplings, the spring rolls, the chopsuey, the manchurian and the chowmein taste different than at any other place that i've been to in Shimla.
ReplyDeleteI could almost bet on the rest of the food items to be different too. The sweet corn soup, although sounds too simple, but will be best that you will have ever tasted. No joke!
The cheerfulness in the eyes of the elderly gentleman that runs the place and his warm greetings will just fill your heart with joy the moment you enter this place. No matter your mood when you step in, you will always leave with a happy heart!
