I finally bought a good wok and self-taught myself to cook good, authentic Chinese dishes, since I wasn’t finding that in most “Chinese” restaurants.

I’m going to try Kung Fu tonight, and will report back.
"Americanized" Chinese is found everywhere including Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou where it is loaded with enough msg to swell anyone's legs.

"Authentic" is a word beloved by food snobs who would recoil from much if it when they saw the exotic animals and body parts on the menu.
