Very good Lee, another great and fair review. I like the fact that you walk about with your recording stuff and go the extra mile to give folk a true picture of where you are. Forget the sweat marks, that adds to the reality.

This is yet another place that has changed hands many times over the years. It was terrible, then great, then terrible again. The last one I had there (October 2022) was pretty average. The trouble is that most of the customers are obviously passing trade, so they don't have to build up a solid customer base. Apart from the residents of course. Pleasant staff, but standard food. I hope you enjoy the test of your time in Benelmadena. Why not 'go Spanish' and have an authentic meal in Malaga? It's 25 minutes away on the train. ❤

Hi Lee, I think I mentioned before the Wok, there is one in the port which is slightly more expensive, but the is one in Benalmadena by the train station, it is almost you can eat if you choose but the food beats anything I have had at home, plus don't miss the market there on a Friday by tivolli world, the park isn't deserted it is open in the evening ❤

Whatever floats your boat...chips and chinese is fine. When I was young, and working the 3 day week back in the 70's, (Heath government?) I shared a bag of chips and a banana fritter from the Chinese with my mate, after 1 pint at the pub. It was all we could afford. When I was even younger I made cheese and jam sandwiches, now that's controversial

Chips at Chinese restaurants are always fries - at least at the ones I've been too. If you want the proper chips, you've gotta go to a Chinese takeaway (bit like how it's mushy peas at a chippy, and garden peas at a restaurant.)

Looked the type of place where if you were out in a group watching a game or what not, had a good few and just wanted something to eat with another few beers then it would hit the spot. Doing an actual review of it though then there’d probably be a lot better places. That’s the beauty of doing food reviews - you need to try the good with the bad! Or okay ish in this case!

You like what do, but you don't know if you like other meals as you never try them....... please try something else even if just at home off vid to give it a go. I no longer watch the eating and the review bit of the same stuff every time (honest feedback Lee). I watch your vids as they are great fun. I suspect there are 100's of viewers the same? Your travel and looking about vids are bloody brilliant, your a top guy but food reviews bar fish & chips as you know this food, aren't your ticket buddy. Also, pictures of foods on menus are essential if you are travelling in China or Indonesia and all you can do to communicate is smile & point....been there!

The price was cheap so it was a very basic Chinese restaurant in Spain.The sauce for the chicken Hong Kong style there was hardly any and not a lot of veg normally the veg should be quite chunky, Chicken and cashew nuts the only thing saving that Msg. Our favourite are Shredded beef with chilli,Beef, green peppers in black bean sauce and Singapore Rice noodles, Tanya is BBQ Spare Ribs,Beef Cow Mein and Crispy Chicken balls with Sweet and Sour sauce. Lee try something else in a Chinese the world is your oyster, many thanks for a excellent vlog👍🍺all the best Richard and Tanya from Southampton ❤
