Can anyone remember the name of the first Chinese Restaurant in town?
It was on the corner of King St/Lowther St where Subway is situated now.
Locals of a certain age may recall it's dubious nickname of " Who Flung Fat" due to a diner/s refusing to pay their bill and being threatened with a pan-full of hot fat by a kitchen chef!
A mate of mine asked me and now I put the question to you Haven fans.
