Default Re: Chinese Food

The best real Chinese food I've ever experienced was in a little bistro outside the gates of Machu Picchu. The owner/cook was the former personal chef of Chiang Kai-shek and fixed a mean Xiaolóngbāo and Mapo Doufu. As we discussed world event over a postprandial brandy, he would often bemoan the lack of decent snow peas and yak in Peru.

And of course, there's a little place in Dubuque that makes a mean Sweet & Sour Shrimp.
