I am guessing it wasn't supposed to be that hot. Probably put too many chillies in.

big slices of both red and green chillies in it, no sign of lemon grass or coconut milk though.....

if you like very hot and fiery food then try it, i reckon after a skin full or if you have a heavy cold this must be awesome for clearing the head...

 

 my personal opinion was it was too fiery -so much so you could not taste the flavour of the chicken- you could have been chewing anything, you - just got a sense of heat !

Really fancy getting a chinese this evening now! Will make the home made samosas and keep them in the fridge for tomorrow!

I used to be with it. But then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems scary and weird.

Am not tempted by anything from the chung ying, the raw beef I got from there a couple of months ago has put me off for life

I find this with both Chineses. It's like the chicken has been boiled in water for hours.

I really like Zizzi's. Even though it is a chain they have a good selection of food and the specials are always interesting.

Plus they have a 'pizza oven'. So have a pizza when you go to zizzi. I dont think the Beaconsfield one is new, been going there for a while.

The Chung Ying bloke (owner?) will do pretty good made to order off-menu stuff, and modify their main dishes to suit your taste. My other half has an MSG allergy so they're really good at preping their meals without this, and also making hotter and milder dishes as requested.

I would recommend only one portion of boiled rice for two as the portions are really huge.

I agree all their meat is mushy! Can't say I use either of the village chineses take-aways - much better, tastier, cheaper, quicker one in Chorleywood that deliver to CSP.   Ususally if you a want a delivery from the village on Fri or Sat it can be up to an hour wait, the one in Chorleywood nearly always manage to deliver within 30 mins & will always over estimate time rather than under estimate.  It once took an hour and hour for a delivery from Chung Ying! and we only live in Austenwood Lane!

You cant beat the Singapore noodles at Golden River, just ask them to take the Egg out and add in more chillis

It is a bit on the warm side! Very different from any Thai Green Curry I've had anywhere else.

Well the Chung Ying has survived many other restaurants coming and going
in Chalfont for pver 30 years so they must be doing something right. Here's
a triv. What used to be there before the Chung Ying?

Glynns the grocer

Mushy

I think it's the Tripti syndrome. If there was a half decent Chinese in the area, people would still go to what they know. 

128 has been the best Chinese had around here.

No slander please, Mr Yings is a fine place to dine.

Technically it would be libel as it is written, although whatever has been said is personal opinion, with no malice aforethought.

I personally always liked Chung Ying and to eat in there is a very local excellent restaurant, albeit rather pricey, in the form of The Good Life in GX.

Still don't know what I want to do when I grow up...


Posted By: Malc London

The Good Life is good food but where is the ambience?

128 is good but I wish they had more on the menu that I liked.
