eating Chinese food in Istanbul: for Rita Wu

Since I’ve reposted my hamburger piece, I thought I might share again my take on Chinese food in Istanbul.

so far
it’s pretty far
from what I call
Chinese food
and Rita,
if you think take-out in NY
is junk Chinese food
wait till you try what’s here
it’s almost as bad
as that place outside Denver
remember?
the Silk Road started
or ended here
depending on one’s perspective
but Chinese food
has yet to arrive

  1. I like a place in Delaware, Ohio called Canton and I also like Joy’s Village Chinese food. While up at my Mom’s I went to a place on Westlake which didn’t have broccoli in the General Tso’s chicken. I really like to feel the broccoli takes away from the heavily sugared spicy syrup. This was disappointing today for lunch. Hope your Rita liked this poem, Len. 🙂

    • She never reads the blog but did write once to tell me my favorite Chinese restaurant in Queens closed. They had great Peking Duck and I have yet to find a place in NYC to rival theirs. But then again, I am not in NYC any longer.
