The Chinese restaurant down our street is owned by an ex-pastry chef of a Waikiki restaurant. It's the only Chinese joint I know that has a great selection of desserts, and you still can't get a dang cup of coffee to go with that. :-)

I've seen that in Chinese restaurants during off-peak hours. A woman would be sitting at the table with a giant bowl of pork filling, stuffing won ton wrappers. Then she'd line them up neatly on a big baking sheet. Doing a job like that would drive me nuts right off the bat. We probably take Chinese food more seriously here. Dumping frozen stuff in a fryer won't go over well.
