Reviews"Watching the ferocious scramble for lunch in China's cities, his words are as true today as they were half a century ago." -Malcolm Moore, Daily Telegraph, "Watching the ferocious scramble for lunch in China's cities, his words are as true today as they were half a century ago." --Malcolm Moore, Daily Telegraph

SynopsisThis book, written in the early 1950s by a former Chinese ambassador to London, is a cultured and entertaining view of the gastronomic side of Chinese life. F.T. Cheng sets out to show Westerners that there was a lot more to Chinese food culture than chop suey. It is a wonderful reminder of the richness and depth of Chinese culture from a man who also completely understood the West.
