I grew up in San Jose, and for many years we would only eat Chinese food at Fung Lum on S. Bascom. They closed their business a few years ago, and I still miss it! Did you ever eat there?
Romney sounds like Elmer Fudd
Paul sounds like he’s ready to drop out and endorse Newt.
That place was great! and would have been maybe 5 minutes from here.
I think what we are seeing in a variety of cuisines and cultural dishes are new ways of approaching the preperation, presentation and tastes.
For instance, my friend opened Sweet Mango over a year ago with an opportunity to fuse three different cultures and deliver a unique experience to the palate yet still be familiar.
It is Chinese food with influences of Burmese and also California.
California cuisine is very light to almost no sauce and emphasizes light fare.
Here mango salad is wonderful.
the take on Chinese Salad is very light breading on a fried chicken breast and a light but sweet soy dressing that doesn’t feel oily. In fact, I’m not sure there is any oil in it but that is going to me lunch tomorrow.
If you come back to San Jose, Ping me and I’ll introduce to my friend, Cindy and lunch or dinner will be my pleasure.
