Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine asiatique en La Londe-Les-Maures

03/10/2026: I was in town for the night and was craving Chinese food, so I swung by Asia Gourmets. What followed was probably the strangest Chinese restaurant experience I’ve ever had. All the cooked dishes were sitting in bowls, cold and covered in cling film. Fair enough, I thought — perhaps you choose what you want, they heat it up, and you sit down and eat. Nope. Apparently the idea is that you choose your already-cooked, cold Chinese food, take it home, and reheat it yourself in the microwave. Although there was seating for dine-in, the lady behind the counter asked the owner about heating the food, and he said no — he didn’t want to turn the oven on! 😳 So essentially, they’ve managed to recreate the experience of eating last night’s Chinese leftovers — minus the experience of actually eating the freshly cooked, hot food the night before! 😂 I’ve eaten in plenty of buffet-style Asian restaurants where dishes are prepared in batches and kept hot. That makes perfect sense. But pre-cooking everything, refrigerating it, covering it in cling film and then selling it cold for the customer to take home and microwave is a business model I’m still trying to get my head around. It’s essentially a restaurant where the final stage of preparing your dinner has been outsourced to you. And some of the food really doesn’t lend itself to being brought back from the dead in a microwave. Spring rolls, samosas, crispy chicken in a sweet and spicy sauce and other fried dishes are things you generally want freshly cooked and crispy — not cold, microwaved and hopefully still bearing some resemblance to what they started life as. Needless to say, I didn’t buy anything. Maybe the food tastes okay once reheated, although the fact that it has to be reheated probably negates a fair amount of whatever was good about it in the first place. Reheated Chinese food is something I’ll happily eat the following morning because it’s sitting in my fridge and I’m hungry. It’s not something I’d deliberately go to a Chinese restaurant to buy cold. Possibly the strangest restaurant business model I’ve encountered.
