About This Novel
Three Chinese "chefs" from different eras, the evolution of British Chinese food, and the century-old history of overseas Chinese immigration. Zhou Yinghua, an immigrant from Shanghai in the 1950s, Helen, an immigrant from Hong Kong in the 1970s, and Wei Guirong, an immigrant from Xi'an in the 2000s. In the UK, these three generations of Chinese finally chose Chinese restaurants as their place to settle down, and they also subtly revolutionized Western society's understanding of Chinese food and food. "A Taste of Chinatown" uses interviews with three generations of "chefs" and combines historical data on the development of Chinatown and Chinese food in the UK to outline the immigration history of overseas Chinese in the past century. In the ups and downs of foreign stories and food adventures, a new flavor of the Tang Dynasty is revealed.
