That has an interesting trivia tidbit revealed about real estate in there - foreign investment in USA residential real estate has shifted from 10% Chinese to 30% Chinese in ten years.<p>Also, I feel something is missing from the story. Just as a statement of fact and not a criticism - his personal taste is pedestrian not adventurous - his favorite dishes are noodles without sauce and rice with soy sauce.

Author goes to number of small town chinese restaurants in Canada and tells their stories. Very long read. Not sure why I liked it so much, but was a good relaxing read.

Yeah, maybe he does have some profound insights into Chinese food just by virtue of volume, but the fact that he doesn&#x27;t like spicy food and his favorite dish is soy sauce and rice means that I&#x27;m probably not going to trust him for food advice. Kind of a shame actually.

&gt; He cannot speak Chinese. He adheres strictly to a lifelong low-sugar, low-cholesterol diet.<p>I&#x27;m no expert on cholesterol, but does fried Chinese food not have the same cholesterol level as other fried food?

Chan is also a friendly figure on Twitter and will chat about restaurants (located almost anywhere) with anyone.
