That's pretty funny that the server tried to correct you on your Chinese and explaining congee.<br /><br />I made a note before that around here it's a North American take on Asian fusion, and not a from an'Asian' perspective. The NA version always seems too light and simple. If you go to places like Hong Kong or Malaysia, their fusion cuisine is sophisticated and complex.<br /><br />For authenticity...like really after a trip from Italy, would you go to Anton's or Anducci's say their Italian is still great?<br /><br />What baffles me about Bao Bei is that before opening they had a 'focus group' of friends and family trying out the food. Who was part of this group?Teresahttp://www.sensesandstyle.comnoreply@blogger.com
