We've found a great fish and chip shop. A pensioner meal of a big piece of fish (wonderful batter!) and more chips than we can eat, for only $3.

There can be a language problem, though.We tried to explain that we would prefer our meals on a plate, rather than in a basket. "Plate, plate!" Then we had the bright idea of pointing to a picture of the meals.

Our fish came in a basket, and the waitress brought us a china saucer each later. We did an "elbows out" digging action to ask for cutlery.

Oh well, her English was better than my Chinese!
