Chinese restaurants
I was rather amused to read Mr. Kutubi's letter dated July 12, 2009 under the above-mentioned heading. My family has frequented Chinese restaurants for many, many years and in all these years we have yet to find anything even remotely resembling the writer's description! Of course I can only speak about the restaurants of Dhaka city, not those of Chittagong city. Almost all these places are well lit, not dark as pointed out in the letter. Some are expensive though, others are not so expensive, but all of them serve fairly good and tasty food combined with excellent and courteous service. The clientele are decent people belonging to the upper economic strata. One can spend a very enjoyable evening there with one's family for rest and relaxation.
The writer has tried to generalize the conditions of all Chinese restaurants of the country from his one bitter experience at a seedy place. Instead of going to places situated in areas near educational institutions, why doesn't he try some places located in the posh areas of his city, e.g. along O. R. Nizam Road near GEC corner and see for himself the difference?
