Flying Tong was a Korean chicken and beer joint on Enmore Road and operated for about the past eight years. A few weeks or so ago it closed and some tacky Mexican place has opened since. Tacky because they put a blinding VIP club style shop sign out the front where there is a bus stop. Seriously people.

I just came across Flying Tong’s old shop sign on the curb near our place.

Flying Tong kept us going during the pandemic. Knowing that I could go and get super spicy chicken and wash it down with a cold beer before succumbing to a food coma brought me much joy.

I am genuinely sad to see Flying Tong go. All the best to the proprietor and staff.
