My family's food went from 'Chinese grossness' to America's 'hottest food trend.'

I am always drinking cheese and cheese with my father 's grandmother when I am eager for comfortable food. Although he is prepared for most days, his Cantonese stewed beef stew can always calm my stomach and soul.

I wrote news in Washington, DC for two years and produced it, last week I wrote a column about my relationship with Chinese food in the Washington Post, especially about my father's sirloin stew and how I can be ashamed Has been issued. My family wants to thank the food. In the same column, I talked about how the relationship between American and Chinese food occurred in my life. To give you a quick timetable: I think that the way my family eats is very interesting. Before enjoying, I never made me feel embarrassed. And in some way I decided to reduce my diet and family meals. After such things happened many times, I began to separate Chinese life from my life, now I accept a way to hide the culture and history of my family and to adapt more to fashion restaurants became.

I am a huge Chinese food addict. It started when I was 11 years old, and my mother introduced me Chinese food for the first time. We went out with a friend and my mother to this quiet Chinese restaurant. I am very excited because I was eating at the neighboring Indian restaurant. Although it was 1993, I remember it like yesterday. We started by sharing mixed start. There are many spring onions, shrimp toast, seaweed, shrimp biscuits, and other nice things I never tried. Then we ate a crisp duck in the pancake. And it is wonderful and I must be the biggest Chinese food poisoning ever. Then I ate chicken and said I was packed with discreet expression.
