Sorry Islay, the chinky above Millets was called the Rice Bowl. My dad sold it in 1972 to the Tsangs who renamed it the Oriental Garden. It was a big ballroom when we moved in, in 1965. Used to go the Gaumont on Saturday mornings. First chinky was the Hong Kong followed the Kowloon in the Wellgate. We were next.

One of the first Indians was the Lahore on the Perth road, just up from York house.
You got your curry in huge soup bowls ! And that would be around 1967.

I'm sure the first Chinese
Was the bamboo in reform st, would be about 1965.
I would have eight pints of mcewans export ,a sweet and sour pork in the Bamboo, then a taxi hame for under 30 Bob.!!

BRUMBY JUMBOS!

(That'll separate the men from the boys!)

Delighted to see you back, Joe! Just fixed the spelling for you - old habits never die! I'm afraid I don't remember Brumby Jumbos but the forte's cafe opposite the train station had some packet based tomato soup that I used to like. The current Stobswell Forte's cafe has the same stuff, and the best scrambled egg rolls in town. IMO of course.
