Chinese food in India has a long history of permutations, concoctions, combinations and hodge-podgery; from the almost but not quite authentic, to the Indianised, Desified - Sezwan versions. Served up at roadside carts to white table cloth temples of Confu-sion. We have been exposed to it all.
In walk, The Big Forkers to a self-proclaimed 'Authentic' Chinese restaurant in Mumbai and well, hell hath no fury like Sid scorned of Authentic Chinese food.
We didn't plan it this way, nor did Team Modi apparently, but this is the Forkers invasion of House of MANDARIN !!

I haven't visited China but I've tried authentic Chinese food in Singapore. It wasn't for my taste buds at all. We're too spoilt by desi Chinese for all the right or wrong reasons. It was good to know you have such great knowledge about the cuisine and the history around it. But I personally would not go so hard at a restaurant for not being AUTHENTIC especially since the people running it know what works best for the audience in the city. I have worked with this brand for 2 years and I honestly loved the food. Everything I've had was fantastic. And that's obviously because 99% of the people love this as we're accustomed to this taste. I don't think majority of the audience watching this would actually enjoy authentic Chinese food like you do. Great insights though :) P.s I have no personal or professional connection with the brand or with any of it's people. This was a personal viewpoint from a fellow foodie. Can't expect Big Mac where Aloo Tikki is famous. Cheers 😁

@TheBigForkers 3 года назад

Singapore the food is very different than 99% of China. But we hear you, Our issue is: Dont claim to be authentic, dont say its a slow roasted pork when it is fried, dont say its BBQ Char Sui when its just fried porl belly. Dont bullshit the customer. If you watch the restaraunt, we repeat it often, if this were Indian food then it would be ok, its simply not Chinese.

@himanshubhagat1779 3 года назад

you guys are doing an amazing job in food vlogging community , also teaching us about the Chinese culture , that what is considered offensive over there and whats not , but at the same time using an Indian festival navratras just as a passing joke , honestly iam not in category of those hindus who get offended by even a slight mention of their religion or Gods . but its really good to treat all communities , religion , sects with the same respect & its expected from you as you are slowly growing into a bigger RU-vidchannel . btw loved the content keep it comming.

@TheBigForkers 3 года назад

This was shot 1 night before Navaratari, so the joke was topical and apprpriate. Besides that we are irreverant about our opinions. That is the entire point, uqually opportunity offensive :)

My father took me once to a small chinese restaurant, it was run by a chinese couple I didnt like it, my father said just because you mostly eat the indian version of chinese food you are not liking it. I guess I was 10 or 11 at that time. I don't recollect the name wild guess will be Dukes somewhere near Mazgaon or Byculla. Almost 26 years ago.

@ashishfatnani 3 года назад

This was on point . For someone who has lived and worked in China and has been a die hard fan of Laziji I did not find one bit authenticity at this restaurant or many others who claim to be authentic. Also since you guys are well traveled I would recommend going to Mala Sicuan in Houston! F'ing amazing Sichuan cuisine. Obviously some of the dishes are authentic but not all. It takes balls to call it out loud. I also like the fact that compared to a lot of other food critics you don't taste but eat. But again indian chinese has its own swad and we should proudly own it. Loved it guys!

@TheBigForkers 3 года назад

Mala Sichuan in Houston is good, the fish their is on point. The entire area past the Hong Kong city mall bu Sam Houston tollway and Bellaire has so many nice Chinese options.

@samwelltarly4365 3 года назад

If Chinese cuisine in its original form was served across the world, it wouldn't be so popular. I've been fortunate to try Chinese food in USA, Canada and India and it was their version of Chinese. I would probably rate authentic Chinese the lowest based on my taste buds

@TheBigForkers 3 года назад

we beg to differ, to each their own

@samwelltarly4365 3 года назад

@@TheBigForkers Facts speak. Chinese immigrants across the world have had to alter their cuisine to make it more palatable to the local populace. It's only in the past decade that there's been an interest in regional Chinese but even in that the recipes are tweaked by increasing the protein, increasing the spice proportion to reduce the blandness, etc.

@shanks8562 3 года назад

@@samwelltarly4365 these alterations you talk about aren't necessarily done by the Chinese folk my friend they're done by the local people who got inspired by the cuisine. Chindese food is the invention of an englishman in Kolkata and not a Chinese guy. Jo bikta hai woh banta hai.
