What Is "Chinese Food, New York Style?

Have you ever had real chinese food?

  • How does it taste different than American Chinese food? ("New York Style")

  • Answer:

    In general speaking, NO, I have not had a real Chinese food yet. I was fortunate to travel to many countries in the world and every local Chinese restaurants I had the same name of food particularly the taste was always different. It was documented that there were over 1000 flavors of the common dish sweet and sour pork in just China itself considering the provinces etc. Every Chinese restaurant I had that dish regardless in big capital cities or the smallest remote town where there was a Chinese restaurant, the sweet and sour pork was different in taste including the ones in NY or the restaurant across the street from my house '

Personally, I think there is no real definition of 'Chinese cuisine'—'Chinese food', on the other hand, includes almost everything that lives and grows on the earth or in the sea. For a continuous period of about 5 years I ate a so-called "Chinese" meal nearly every single day—almost all of my best buddies, colleagues, partners, students and associates were of Chinese extraction and all grew up in slightly different backgrounds...Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, as well as mainland China... What I CAN tell you (as a fact) is that there have been several huge migrations of people, especially from the southern parts of China, so those types of cooking have dominated SE-Asian, European and most western countries. When I was young, it was absolutely no use walking into a Chinese restaurant in the English-speaking world and ordering a meal in perfect Mandarin Chinese to the staff...they'd just look at you in a strange way...and call out one of their young kids, studying upstairs and who spoke English, to find out why the heck you were there!

Yes, I've had it in Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. It is very different from region to region, but almost none of it is like "American" style Chinese food. The type in Taiwan, for instance, most Westerners find to be very bland and tasteless, or simply disgusting. In Hong Kong there is huge diversity in the food, so it's hard to make a direct comparison.

Less fat and sugar, more layers of flavor, more different types of vegetables and sauces.
