hmmmm....Food!!!! What we like to eat!

Its that time of the year again so......"Moon Cakes" with that greeny coloured filling. Its supposed to be made from some plant I believe.

Actually who makes the best Moon Cakes. China, HK.Taiwan, or your locally made ones in the West.

When it comes to Sushi, 99% Europeans are as good at making it as most Asians are in making coffee......C..p

For Chinese food, i would say definitely Vancouver. Richmond in particular has some of the best Chinese food restaurants in Canada since competition for customers there is fierce.

The population of the Vancouver metro area is approx. 2.1 million.

There are 700,000 Asians living in that area. Not quite half ..but I understand your point.

Edit >>> T-U-P has pointed out to me that Richmond in the Vancouver metro area is well over 90% Asian...

Luosifen, a noodle dish known for its pungent smell, is a signature street food in Liuzhou City. It features rice vermicelli soaked in a spicy broth nicely flavored by river snails and topped with ingredients such as pickled bamboo shoots, string beans, peanuts and fried tofu skin.

Liuzhou, traditionally an industrial city best known for its steel and automobile manufacturing, started to produce pre-packaged Luosifen in 2014. Thanks to large-scale marketing and e-commerce, the delicacy has created a huge industrial chain and exports of pre-package Luosifen has registered remarkable sales volume in recent years.

Official data shows the sales revenue of entities involved in Luosifen business in Liuzhou exceeded 54.5 billion yuan (about 7.48 billion U.S. dollars) from January to September this year, up 12.08 percent year on year. In the meantime, the export of Luosifen brought in a revenue of 63.287 million yuan to the city, up 2.9 percent year on year. (Xinhua/Jin Haoyuan)

Lots of great noodle dishes in China! Highly recommend visiting Suzhou for some 枫镇大肉面 (the soup is what you're actually paying for) or 三虾面 if it's in season. If you're in that part of the country, then Shanghai has some excellent crab roe noodles to try too
