How many times do I have to say that I hate American Chinese Food! How come NO ONE understands how to propagate the real Chinese food civilization in the U.S??

But, few restaurants are trying hard to provide the real meal that we would dying for it. So thanks to them! They are,
Chengdu 1 in New Jersey
Sichuan Gourmet in New York
Ollie’s Chengdu Restaurant in New York
Da San Yan- Cantonese restaurant in New York
Da Pai Dang- Cantonese restaurant in New York
I know there might be more, like restaurants in Flushing, New York, can’t wait to try them.
We don’t have fortune cookies in China, so why am I getting those things in English in the U.S? How silly! But few restaurants I went, they stopped this silly treatment, such as Grand Sichuan, Sichuan Gourmet, maybe Ollie’s too, I have to find out later.
Give us some real treatment instead, for example, a good pot of green tea, pu’er tea or jasmine tea, I love jasmine tea the best, it’s so refreshing, the flavor is so wonderful, this is the tea I grow up with, I’ll write a story about my tea drinking history next. So, if Chinese restaurant would provide real tea treatment instead of a pot of old tea water (who knows how long the tea sets inside the pot), that would bring more money to the restaurant.
Don’t make people think Chinese food means cheap and grease, just because some people never had a real Chinese meal.
Most of the time, I walk out of the Chinese restaurant with unhappy face, especially in suburbs in the States, I can’t handle the way they cook, each meat is so huge and taste fake, can vegetables are just more pitiful, and the sauce, why it looks like jam??
Next time, I’ll take out a dish from a “chinese restaurant”, then figure out what exactly they put inside the meal.
