dragon feast

chinese food and i go back a long way.

golden dragon is my official 'first restaurant'-my baby book says so.

i know i was looking at the ceiling and dropping noodles into an open mouth at an age when i could still only prononce it as noo-dus.

wanton soup at sampan - a weekly family ritual thru the 80s.

and corn soup with noodles is the ultimate comfort food even today.

i can write my life around chinese restaurants.

shiv sagar's schezwan rice -popular with the girls. (B K and S-u'll will forever be THE girls)

flora chinese in worli - H and my meeting ground mid-city.

china garden - a must-go everytime my cousins came to bombay.

london's royal china- a unanimous family favorite.

singapore's buddhist chinese-the best i've had so far.

food is such an important social ritual of our times.
its an international diplomacy weapon waiting to be tapped.

..would anyone care to add to this freshly minted theory?
