But, in my work at a university it was an everyday thing to interact, with many different people, completely out of whack with typical areas of the country. I might be eating lunch with an Indian, Korean, English, Russian. Very interesting to watch a Korean speaking perfect English from new Zealand, or a black girl speaking English from England. There was one show on No Reservations, showing what a Chinese would want to order authentic stuff vs typical menu. Heavy into fish in authentic, and of course, soups. Greg |

They had won ton soup, hot and sour soup, egg drop soup and menudo on the buffet. I have not found the Chinese food here very good. It's hard to find a restaurant that is not a buffet. We do have a decent local place where the menu is pretty traditional. Good, not great. Nothing in North America beats the various Chinatowns in the big cities. New York, San Francisco and my favorite place for Dim Sum, Vancouver, BC. Portland, OR has some pretty good dim sum, too. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count.

The Kings Cafe in Seattle had excellent Dim Sum but sadly it is long gone now. I gave up taking people there though because they were only used to the Americanized stuff and they thought this food was weird. *shrugs* There are some other places that serve it but I didn't find it to be as good. |
