Chinatown does not refer to a specific place, but is a general term for all places where Chinese people live in other countries. There are Chinatowns in the United States, Chinatowns in Japan, and Chinatowns in France... However, the most famous of them is the Chinatown in San Francisco.
With the advent of the food era, this place has become the hub of all Chinatown food institutions. The Chinatown Cuisine Association, which specializes in serving Chinatown cuisine, was established in San Francisco's Chinatown. The owners of major famous restaurants serve as the association's leaders. Similarly, San Francisco's Chinatown is also the essence of Chinatown cuisine. The seven most famous restaurants in Chinatown can all be found here.
Either the restaurant was originally opened here, or a branch was established here.
The ten famous representative dishes can all be eaten here at once.
The seven major hotels are Chen's Restaurant, Peng's Restaurant, Shen Jiao, Lin's Pot, Lahongzhuang, Wang's Restaurant, and Tangren Noodle House.
The ten representative dishes are naturally also the signature dishes of these seven hotels.
The signature dish of Chen's Restaurant is Chen's tofu.
Pengjia Restaurant has two signature dishes, namely high-energy chicken wings and Pengjia chicken.
The signature dish of Shen Jiao is the Shen Jiao, a type of dumpling that is popular in Chinatown.
Lin's signature dishes are Lin's Lamb Pot and Lin's Eggplant Pot, two pot-based dishes.
Lahongzhuang, the signature dish of this restaurant is Lahong, a dish with a very top-secret recipe and a mysterious identity. Although it is very popular, no one knows what the ingredients used in this Lahong are.
The signature dish of Wang's Restaurant is Wang's Shredded Pork. In addition, the restaurant where Jim came from is this Wang's Restaurant.
The last restaurant, Tangren Noodle House, is the most reputable restaurant in Chinatown. Noodles are the essence of Chinese cuisine. Even the Chinese in Chinatown have a special liking for noodles. The noodles of Tangren Noodle House became popular in the entire overseas Chinese community when Chinatown was formed. Up to now, Tangren Noodle House has become the boss of Chinatown's catering industry.
Tangren Noodle House sells a variety of noodles, and the most delicious ones are oil noodles and meat noodles.
Chen's tofu, high-energy chicken wings, Peng's chicken, Shen dumplings, Lin's mutton pot, Lin's eggplant pot, spicy red, Wang's shredded pork, oil noodles, and meat noodles, these are the top ten representative dishes of Chinatown.
In the private room of Manhan Building, Ye Chui listened to Gordon Ramsay's introduction to the food information in Chinatown.
Gordon Ramsay naturally introduced himself in English. Ye Chui's English was not very proficient, so Han Yuyan had to translate some parts.
The language spoken in Chinatown is actually Chinese. Although the names of restaurants or dishes have corresponding English names, people in Chinatown still like to call them by their Chinese names. Chefs like Gordon Ramsay would directly say the transliterated names when mentioning these restaurants or dishes. He seemed to be very interested in the names of restaurants and dishes, so in this introduction, he actually said out these transliterated names that should be very difficult for foreigners to pronounce, and Ye Chu could barely understand them.
But understanding does not mean comprehension—
"Chen's tofu, high-energy chicken wings, Peng's chicken, Shen dumplings... I have never heard of these names." Ye Chui repeated the names of the dishes with a little surprise on his face. "It seems that many dishes in Chinatown have abandoned their original names and taken on other names in the past few decades of development."
The Tang Family Shredded Pork that Jim made earlier was proof of this. This dish was originally called Jing Sauce Shredded Pork, and if Gordon Ramsay did not taste it wrong - which is obviously impossible given the reputation of this world-famous chef - the Chen Family Tofu among the top ten representative dishes is the famous Mapo Tofu.
Gordon Ramsay's lung capacity was obviously extraordinary. He introduced so much in one breath without even taking a breath. He probably cursed at people. He then clumsily picked up a piece of Mapo Tofu with chopsticks and put it into his mouth to taste it carefully. He then said, "This tofu dish is very similar to Chen's tofu, but there are also some very different places. The taste of this dish is more diversified, and it brings people a more novel taste experience. Chinese cuisine is the most powerful in pursuing the taste level of food. I have to agree with this."
Hearing Gordon Ramsay's words, Han Yuyan immediately asked anxiously, "Mr. Gordon, how do you think the mapo tofu made by Master compares to the Chen's tofu in Chinatown?"
"From the taste point of view, Master Ye Chui's Mapo Tofu seems to be better, but..." Gordon Ramsay shook his head. "It's a pity to say that I didn't pay much attention to Chinese food before, so my judgment is not very comparable. I have no idea whether Mr. Ye Chui can use this Mapo Tofu to make the people at Chen's Restaurant bow their heads in Chinatown."
"Oh..." Han Yuyan seemed a little disappointed.
Ye Chui's eyes lit up as he looked at Gordon Ramsay who continued to speak in his awkward English: "Mr. Gordon, did you know that I was going to Chinatown?"
Han Yuyan also exclaimed, and then he realized that Ye Chui was going to challenge Chinatown alone. It seemed that few people knew about it. Gordon Ramsay had just introduced the restaurants and dishes in Chinatown, and he seemed to know about this vaguely. Moreover, it seemed that he was deliberately helping Ye Chui
Gordon Ramsay laughed: "Yes, and I also heard something very interesting."
"What?" Han Yuyan asked hurriedly.
Gordon Ramsay replied in a stiff Chinese accent: "Whoever offends China will be punished no matter how far away they are."
"Who said that?" Sister Han couldn't help laughing, and turned to Ye Chui and said, "Master, the person who said that must be a fan of novels. Maybe his brain is damaged by reading too many books. He must be sick..."
"These are the words of Mr. Han Xi. He told us in person before the Spring Banquet began." Gordon Ramsay continued.
Han Yuyan: "... So it's grandpa?"
Ye Chui also thought that the person who said this was a bit strange, but when he found out that it was Old Han who said this, he felt speechless for a moment. Then he immediately realized that what Old Han said was referring to him - Chinatown tried to separate Chinese cuisine, which infringed on the reputation of China. No matter where it is, justice must be sought back. Ye Chui challenged Chinatown just to get justice back!
After understanding what Mr. Han meant in Chinese, Ye Chui suddenly felt his blood boiling.
Mr. Robert, who had been concentrating on the plate of braised pork intestines since he sat down, finally interrupted and said, "I had disputes with Mr. Han in some international chef competitions before. My relationship with him has never been very good, but what he said before the Spring Banquet made me admire him very much. After the Spring Banquet, Chef Jim from Chinatown was temporarily detained by the Food Police, and the Shenghuayuan Hotel was also sealed off. We were able to find out some information and knew that you, Mr. Ye Chui, were also present at the time. So if Gordon and I are right, Mr. Han was referring to you, Mr. Ye Chui, right?"
It turned out that the two of them guessed this from what Mr. Han said.
So Ye Chui did not deny it: "That's true. I plan to go to Chinatown in a while. Their behavior this time has indeed violated the dignity of Chinese food culture, so I must regain this face. Chinatown food is inherited from Chinese food. No matter how it changes, the roots cannot be broken."
Robert and Gordon Ramsay looked at each other, and then Robert laughed a few times. "I admire your courage, Mr. Ye Chui. So when you go to do this, if you need anything, you can contact me and I will help you. I am the honorary director of the Gourmet Department of the International Gourmet Association. I can help you find the gourmets you need for the cooking competition, and I can guarantee that each one is fair and honest."
"Thank you, Mr. Robert." Ye Chui was indeed very grateful. If it was a traditional feast at this time, he should have immediately offered Robert a glass of wine, but there was no wine glass here, so Ye Chui pointed to the plate of braised pork intestines and said, "Mr. Robert, please eat your food..."
If I don't have any wine to offer, I can offer pork intestines... It's just a token of my appreciation.
After the Spring Banquet, Robert and Gordon Ramsay originally wanted to come and learn Ye Chui's cooking skills. One of them is a famous gourmet, and the other is a world-renowned chef. However, after knowing what Ye Chu was going to do next, their intention was simply to visit him, and they provided Ye Chu with some very necessary help - Ye Chui could look up information about the seven major restaurants and the ten representative dishes in Chinatown, but it was definitely not as detailed as Gordon Ramsay's introduction.
The two people came to find Ye Chui for a more important purpose.
"Mr. Ye Chui, if you go to Chinatown, I hope you can be careful of some people." After tasting a few other side dishes, Gordon Ramsay continued to say to Ye Chui.
"Who?" Ye Chui was stunned.
"This time, Chinatown cuisine tried to split off from Huaxia cuisine. Although their own will was the main reason, it would not have been so easy without the help of another party. There is an international company behind Chinatown. This company has developed for five years and has great influence, and has a hand in the cuisines of various countries."
When mentioning this, Gordon Ramsay's expression became much more serious. "Many top chefs from French, Italian, Mexican cuisines... these cuisines have now joined this big company. This company is trying to integrate all the major cuisines and dishes in the world to establish an unprecedented food company. They are pushing for Chinatown's independence so that they can completely annex Chinatown, and then use the name of orthodox Chinese cuisine to counterattack the Chinese food market. Of course, this view is just our guess, but it should be the case."
This news was obviously more important to Ye Chui, and he became serious: "What is this company? Why have I never heard of it before?"
"This company is not active in China, so it's understandable that you don't know about it. The name of this company is..." Gordon Ramsay said seriously, "Food King Enterprises."
What Gordon Ramsay said was English. The name of this large food company is Cook King.
After being translated into Chinese, it is Food King Enterprise. (~^~)
