Do you have at least one Asian/Asian-American homeboy/girl in your group who really knows authentic Chinese/Korean/Japanese/Vietnamese/Thai/etc. foods and can comment on authenticity (rather than on the flavor of sweet and sour pork or kung pao chicken, for example)? <BR/><BR/>Also, did you guys know that you guys miss out on the real deal sometimes if the chef sees your table is a bunch of white people? When we go to Chinese restaurants with white people, waiters always ask whether we want them to cook in the "gwei-lo style" or "chinese style". No kidding-- they prepare the same dish differently depending on what they assume your taste will be. So if you want authentic, as a white person you actually have to emphasize that you want your food cooked "Chinese-style, not American-style". They'll be shocked you know the deal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
