Where the fare includes fried noodle, sharks' fins, sea slugs, savouries of bamboo shoots; a typical eating house in the Chinese quarter of the East End.
The caption accompanying this magazine illustration reads:‘We illustrate here a typical Chinese restaurant, very clean, frequented largely by sailors and stokers from ships trading with China. The better dressed ones would be stewards, while the smaller room in the background is apparently used by a rather higher class, such as clerks and students'. At this time, London’s Chinatown was in Limehouse, near the docks.
