Just received this in my email.. would have deleted it as a generic ‘my friend’s friend was date raped in blah blah Park’ .. but for the pics.
Anyone eat at Dickson Asian Noodle House?
Can I recommend that you don’t? the noodles were left to cool on the a/c unit.
Colleagues – I thought a health warning was in order. A bunch of us (we’re on third floor overlooking carpark of restaurants) have just seen guys out the back of the Dickson Noodle House tenderising meat on a thin plastic chopping board on the ground near the bins – choice!! Meat was mostly on the chopping board.
Noodles were also being pawed through in a big dish on the ground amongst the oil spills. You had to see it to believe it… !
Sad really. Apparently they’re the best noodles in town! Though the one time I tried eating there, it was far too busy to get a table (which would line up nicely with the ‘best noodles in town’ tag).

[ED - well now you know what they need to do to make the noodles so good]

It’s the bird poo and dead ants that make their noodles just so good.
Send them all home!
So, where to get my duck chea quay tao now that I suspect I’ll be unwelcome in future?
Any recommendations?
Is there a picture of the actual meat tenderising in progress?
What a brave photographer – I expect they’ll shortly face an enraged Chinese cook with a meat cleaver.
could it be a set up from a competitor?
I’ll keep eating there until I personally have a bad experience.
If motor oil is a key ingredient in their tasty food, so be it.
I’m with whorebags. I’ve seen worse in China and Malaysia and ate the food there. It still tastes damn good.
Trust me – that’s child’s play compared to some of the more unsavoury practices I’ve witnessed in the industry.
Danman – you out there? Back me up here.
I heard a (wild, completely unsubstantiated) claim that a certain upmarket Chinese eatery leaves their partially-cooked meat out in trays in the back alley behind the restaurant ready to be warmed through or flash grilled for serving. “Nice chair, man,” I said. “Yip. Sure is!” he replied.
As for DNH, I’ll be back. It’s all fried and boiled, so I couldn’t care less. I eat biltong, and that’s nothing more than old meat left around to dry out in a cupboard.
Reminds me of the Chinese place in Woden that used to scrap together the left over rice from patron’s plates then place it out the back to dry, before serving it up once again as stir fry. They were shut down.
They have alot of paper towel…
Nice clean car park…
That bike lying on its side … it’s almost like it’s trying to be recumbent.
thats not a bike. its a noodle trap. damn that dickson is a bizzare place.
did i hear the words recumbent and bike ?
whaaaat ?
oh
Maybe the bike spokes are used to dry meat on?
Hey Evil, that looks like your Mum’s bike.
Perhaps she ducked in for a bit of pork.
I like the dead-duck-inn over the road – at least you can see all the stuff hanging in the window.
It is part of the culture.
We need to be sensitive. How about we book a banquet for all riot-act supporters.
That will weed out those with delicate constitutions…
“Hey Evil, that looks like your Mum’s bike.”
My Mum is a bike! But lately she’s become a one man bike – after AD came into her life.
She’s even waxed her back for him!
So the back wax is her imminent present to AD?
“So the back wax is her imminent present to AD?”
LMAO.
hehe – I got nothing
I’m with special G.
Nixon Doodle can never lose.
Quite a few restaurants use the area outside the back door as a food prep and storage area, actually. And the ones I’m thinking of, of which I have personal experience, are listed in the tipety-top of Canberra find restaurants.
Many kitchens are too small, and bloody hot. So sticking out a few milk crates and working outside makes a lot of sense.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh soooooooooooooo! Now we shall have the China Man curse! Which is almost as bad as the much feared “May You Live in Interesting Times” one. From now on all our noodles shall be acclimatised!!!

My guess is the outside prep area sparkles compared to the kitchen, and its Kitchen photos we would not want to see.
Their laksa’s are so good i wouldnt care if they are ritually sacrificing most of the zoo to make it.
