August is officially Asian Noodles Month. Well, okay; it’s not official most everywhere else, but those who visit the Chile Underground know that we don’t let little things like that get in our way around here. Our Undergorund Department of Noodles (UDON) has done all the investigating it intends to, having pored over nearly […]
Stan and I were done with our planned site visits, but not with the paperwork. Yes, even in tropical China, there’s always paperwork.

Because of that, I watched with interest as the Old San Francisco Steakhouse in Austin morphed into the Fujian Grand China […] Here’s a quickie for your fish requirements. (No, those fish don’t need a quickie, YOU do!) Black Bean Garlic Fish This one is flavorful and spicy (if you include the chile strips), but what I like about it is how easy it is to make.
