Does he deal with 'coolies' when he's in Asia? f@.@

I don't want a rice box or go to a Chinese restaurant when I'm in the US.

....Seriously,Does anyone have the recipe of the sesame ball filled with mung bean?

[pipo3a]

Thats so true. Chinese dont have much desert culture... They have already had sweet main course:)

still wish to know that lineage of Chinese chopped red-peppers(almost 50 pieces),black(round)peppers,mi­xed with that unique lemon grassy(or something similar)soup...that was the most unusual,and superb soup.

Wouldn't foreign visitors want to try to eat something "unique" not of their own countries!?

[PandaBaby51]

maybe but its polite to want to cater to your guests taste

Guess you don't like dough which is paperthin-"flaky"& crumbles off the pastry which is filled with mung beans also.Guess if you really knew all your Chinese pastries, you could surmise which pastry Iam mentioning.Should I camcord a photograph of it next time I buy it?

chinese people eat different foods in different areas. Especially in areas like Suzhou, people love sweet food and do not like anything spicy or hot.

mooncakes are sweet n delicious on holiday,sweet bean sesame balls are delicious,& those flat-round flaky-powdered bean-filled pastries are good too,but are they American-Chinese, or really originally China-Chinese?

[kakuoh]

what are you talking about? mooncakes date back to ancient times...i'm pretty sure sesame balls werent recently invented...and i have no idea what you mean by 'flat round flaky powdered bean filled pastrys.'

[lookyeahhohon]

no...there are tons of different Chiense desserts especially in the Chiu Chow cusine, that are very sweet. If you go to a high end Chinese restaurant, you will see lots of desserts in the menu.
