Authentic Chinese Food vs Chinese Food in Trinidad & Tobago




One of my favourite types of cuisine is none other than Chinese food. Some of my favourite dishes in Chinese food are pineapple chicken, Singapore noodles, egg fried rice, spring rolls and chow mein. It has been said that what is sold in Chinese Restaurants is Not what the Chinese themselves consume. Is this just a rumour or is there some level of truth to it?!? Well, I plan to sort of compare and contrast the food dishes that are served in China compared to what we eat here in the Chinese restaurants in Trinidad and Tobago.
