Beijing New York

Szechuan New York

Back in the City and lunch with Shannon. Szechuan style in midtown.

How many ways is this wrong?

Food arrives individual plates. Too salty. Too bland. Cai xin (aka bok choy) has to be special requested. No tea. All around us Americans drink Coke.

I'm back and not back, as always.

If you're wondering, yes, it's a common question, at least for me: why'd you go to China? What was it like? And, yes, nearly impossible to answer in a word or two.

I'd love to hear what you think of your first Chinese meal back in America.

  1. What do I think of my first Chinese meal back in America?
    I'm avoiding it!
    Still pondering all the rest.
    I think this undefinable place called China did get under my skin!
