Cooking and Gardening

Everyone in the world knows that Chinese are good at cooking. Chinese not only cook super delicious food, but also combine their arts with the food. Our meeting with relatives, friends and classmates means diner after diner and banquet after banquet. I’ve gained five pounds in a month!
China has several cooking styles. In Dongying most of the dishes belong to “Lu Style” that was originated in Shandong province.

My dad has some fruit trees in his yard, and I wish I could grow them Kuwait.

  2. You are absolutely right, Bud. Every time I go back to the West from China, I do not eat in the Chinese restaurants for about 6 months. So do the Westerners who went to China with me. To be honest with you, the Chinese restaurants in Kuwait are not even as good as in the West. However, cites like Vancouver, Toronto and San Francisco that has big Chinatown should have decent authentic Chinese food. Although most of the food in China is organic, there is a lot that have question marks.

    If there is an opportunity, we’ll invite you over for a Chinese dinner, even though mine is combined with all styles.
