Edward Chow's picture story documents life in a typical Chinese takeaway in modern England. Many British people have visited a takeaway but not many have seen what life is like behind the counter and this gives a glimpse into, what for many, is an unseen world.

Susan S. Cheung - Memories Posted 15:37 on 15 February 2009 Dear Edward, Your photos bring back memories of my childhood, and although it has been many years since I left the catering environment, your photos seem as if time has stood still and I can still smell the smells and hear the sounds. Defintely, a trip down memory lane. Regards, Susan Reply | Quote

flowerpower - Great photos Posted 16:04 on 5 September 2009 Wow these photos are great they are so gritty and real without trying to be sensationalist they dont need to be, the content speaks for itself. Chinese people work so hard to make a living and the whole fmaily gets involved supporting each other. More photos please!!! Reply | Quote
