Now this is getting spooky.

I NEVER order off the English menu at Kwok Doo, Allan always gets me 
something special, I never ask what it's going to be.  He never lets me down. 
 Took me ages to convince him that we barbarians actually ARE interested in 
genuine Chinese (and other Asian) food.  Far too modest.

Thai Number 1 would cook more meals for me than I cook myself.  "Janet and 
Staffs" look after me really well, too.

Now that you've well and truly established you epicurian credentials I'll 
certainly check out the others on your list!

Thanks,
