Fondue Chinoise Express

5.0

Incomprehensible signage, great noodles. This place, tucked away in the faubourg building, is one of the best kept secrets of the city. The place is covered in menus & signage in Chinese, French & English, telling you the various items on offer, (soups, noodles, stir fry, didn't see hot pot/fondue chinoise on there but hey) & the various instructions on how to navigate the ordering process. Order here, don't step here, after mandarin, try French, bring back your bowl & get your $2 deposit back, & also some political messages? One sign says, in French English & Chinese, something to the effect of "nuclear waste dumped into the ocean is a crime against humanity." Yeah, it does sound bad, but I'm not conversant enough in Chinese politics to understand what this means. Some of the more political signs are in Mandarin & are... perhaps more direct in their intent. In any case, this 2 person operation is serving up the best Dan Dan noodles I've had, so an esoteric ordering process & propaganda don't mean much. 10/10.
