<article> | |
<p>(We went to the Philippines every summer, and my parents referred to Chinese people as “the Chinese”–i.e. not us. Cut me a break.)</p> | |
<p>Thus, I am not quite an outsider looking in, but my knowledge is rote-learned, handed off by my parents, keen as ever to erase the browner aspects of our family history. Via restaurants, they introduced me to my own Chineseness: chilled seaweed salads served on blue and white floral printed plastic plates and scalding hot jasmine tea in stainless steel teapots. Then, a tiny pure gold necklace with my zodiac sign, the pig. Later, an impossibly patient Mandarin tutor–I was hopeless at the tones. I am still hopeless.</p> | |
<p>These days, try as I might to pretend otherwise, my discernment in the matters of Chinese food shows through, the n-plus meals I’ve had at Chinese restaurants supplemented by years of reading food publications that have turned their sights on region-specific Chinese cuisine. It is this experience I draw upon as I first enter Woon, eager for a pork belly-filled gua bao after a trip to Taipei last spring. I came in with high hopes.</p> | |
<p>I left with them mostly fulfilled.</p> | |
<p>For the seasoned Chinese restaurant patron: Yes, they have the blue and white floral plates, the teapot too–with food to match.</p> | |
