[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have traveled to Taiwan a number of times and the Chinese food you find here is nothing like the food you would find there. Food there is much fresher not so much heavily battered and deep fried. [/quote] Ha! That's because Taiwan is a separate country (no matter what China says!!) Each region in China has a different spin on cooking. Sichuan food tends to be very spicy. Other places are known for their red braised pork (Shanghai) or roast duck (Beijing). In America, we typically just have "Chinese" food. It tends to be sweeter, doused in batter and fried, and generally speaking more basic, catering to American palates. American Chinese food has its place, just like Korean Chinese food (noodles in black bean sauce, yum) and Indian Chinese food, which incorporates spices commonly found in India. It's part of the beauty of different cultures coming together. [/quote]
