The blacks versus color looks canon-y :D Anyway, keep it up, cooking is 40% inspiration indeed :) Hey Marc, can I just say your blog is super cool, I love the concept of cooking without recipes… its just such a cool idea of off the cuff cooking ( i know i just raid the fridge and whip up wotever ive got in there.. but im sure you’ve got a superiorly stocked fridge compared to mine :P )

Heather, yea I have a soft spot for american chinese food every now and then. Growing up in Napa we only had 3 Chinese restaurants for the longest time, so I think it got ingrained in me at an early age. Peter, having had both, I'd have to say that Aussie Chinese is better than American Chinese. Honestly, I think it has to do with the recency of immigration. For example here in NY, Flushing has a much better selection of Chinese food than in Manhattan, but Flushing also has a higher population of recent immigrants. Thanks JSC, I've never been to Shanghai (or China for that matter), but it's at the top of my list off places I want to visit. Manggy, I bet Filipino Chinese food is good:-) Maryann, dumplings are always cute, but these were cuter than usual:-) Kitchen Vixen, I'm looking forward to hearing what you think. We Are Never Full, do tell about the excellent places! Aside from Chinatown Brasserie and places in Flushing, I haven't really found any decent Chinese places here in Manhattan.

But I enjoy it all, as you may have probably guessed :) That looks like a fantastically posh event. Love the Joe Ng sculptures, and the duck-shaped buns! You lucky duck!

The Chinese food here in Shanghai can be greasy too but mostly it is awesome and nothing like American Chinese food. Gorgeous photos!

It gets a bad reputation because of all the "localized" stuff that was produced to satisfy the "emerging" palate of the Australian population...it's real flavours and strengths only started emerging in the last few years.

That looks like such a great time. I love food events. That attention to detail makes my eyes cross. I don't think of Chinese food as greasy, most of the "bad" Chinese food was invented in America, anyway. I do love me some egg foo yung, though. Oh man. Ooh! That looks like such a great time.
