Chinese Cuisine(烹饪) in the World | |
Emma Chen | She is a restaurant owner in Cape Town, South Africa. She has two restaurants-Red Chamber and Pron. Both of them are very popular with customers. She believes that food is not only a business, but also means passing down of culture and customs. Her cuisine comes from Shandong Province in Northern China. |
Gianni Catani | As an Italian, he has become an expert in Chinese Hunan cuisine. It is very hard for a foreigner to enter the Chinese world at first. Luckily, he was finally accepted and welcomed by a Chinese master cook. So he spent eight years with him in learning the secrets of Hunan cuisine. Now his restaurant is one of the best places to eat Chinese food in Rome, Italy. |
Eugene Moy | He owns a restaurant in San Gabriel Valley in America, which has become a foodie Mecca(美食圣地) for the world's top Chinese food. He believes Chinese food is the power to teach people Chinese culture. "Who knew where Chengdu or Chongqing was before? Going and checking out food is a lot of fun. It is also an activity of telling ourselves and the public about Chinese culture." |
