Book Description
100 Top Chinese Restaurants of the World 2020 is into its second edition. I hope readers agree with the majority of my choices. As a Singaporean of Chinese descent, I proudly admit that the annual guide is a labour of love – and greed – for the great cuisines of China. My two favourite are Yue (my maternal family comes from Shunde) and Huaiyang (particularly the delicate cold dishes). My father came to Singapore as a child from Huai’an, Quanzhou, so I also love Min cuisine. And Lu, Chuan, Chaozhou, Kejia and many other branches of Chinese cuisine. I write about cuisine from a cultural, historical point of view. So, 100 does not contain recipes. But, you will discover that xiao long bao does not come from Shanghai but were already very popular in Kaifeng during the Northern Song Dynasty (960 – 1127). Or that Cantonese food should properly be called Yue cuisine which has its origins from the Kingdom of Nanyue (204 BC – 111 BC). 100 has Chinese restaurants from New York, London, Paris, Mumbai, Bangkok, Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Foshan, Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Shanghai, Yokohama, and lots more. The restaurants are not rated from 1 to 100 but there is a Restaurant of the Year, 10 Top 10, 10 Top 20, 10 Top 30, and 69 other restaurants to make a total of 100. You may be surprised to learn that the best char siew may actually be from Malaysia. Or that there is a tea house in Yangzhou that makes up to 50,000 baos a day! And that the Restaurant of the Year 2020 was started by a woman. CH’NG Poh Tiong Publisher/Author of 100 Top Chinese Restaurants of the World

Cultural Flows in High-End Cuisine

Author: Christel Lane
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040093019
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 249

Book Description
Focusing on high-end cuisine, this book examines the flows of culinary knowledge from culturally peripheral locations to two cities at the global center, London and New York. Through the voices of chefs and other professionals in the industry, this book invites readers to rethink our understandings of high-end and ethnic cuisines, as well as the conventions and principles that shape the contemporary field of gastronomy and fine-dining. It examines a broad range of cuisines, including Peruvian, Korean, Mexican, Malaysian, Senegalese, West African, Thai, Chinese, and Indian, and conveys the chefs’ voices as they strive to elevate their cuisines through discursive and material means, including the shaping of menus, and restaurant decor. While the main focus falls on chefs as the producers of high-end cuisines, this book also gives consideration to their consumers, that is cosmopolitan diners in the two global cities, and to the influence of culinary intermediaries judging and legitimizing their high-end status. Theoretically, this book contributes to the debate on cultural globalization. It undertakes a study of hitherto rarely examined cultural counterflows or reverse cultural globalization and analyzes both the precipitants of this occurrence and the effects of cultural counterflows on both Western global cities and the home countries of chefs. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of food studies, food cultures, cultural globalization, and culinary studies.
