Download or read book 100 Top Chinese Restaurants of the World 2020 written by 莊布忠（CH’NG Poh Tiong） and published by THE WINE REVIEW. This book was released on 2020-01-21 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 100 Top Chinese Restaurants of the World 2020 is into its second edition. I hope readers agree with the majority of my choices. As a Singaporean of Chinese descent, I proudly admit that the annual guide is a labour of love – and greed – for the great cuisines of China. My two favourite are Yue (my maternal family comes from Shunde) and Huaiyang (particularly the delicate cold dishes). My father came to Singapore as a child from Huai’an, Quanzhou, so I also love Min cuisine. And Lu, Chuan, Chaozhou, Kejia and many other branches of Chinese cuisine. I write about cuisine from a cultural, historical point of view. So, 100 does not contain recipes. But, you will discover that xiao long bao does not come from Shanghai but were already very popular in Kaifeng during the Northern Song Dynasty (960 – 1127). Or that Cantonese food should properly be called Yue cuisine which has its origins from the Kingdom of Nanyue (204 BC – 111 BC). 100 has Chinese restaurants from New York, London, Paris, Mumbai, Bangkok, Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Foshan, Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Shanghai, Yokohama, and lots more. The restaurants are not rated from 1 to 100 but there is a Restaurant of the Year, 10 Top 10, 10 Top 20, 10 Top 30, and 69 other restaurants to make a total of 100. You may be surprised to learn that the best char siew may actually be from Malaysia. Or that there is a tea house in Yangzhou that makes up to 50,000 baos a day! And that the Restaurant of the Year 2020 was started by a woman. CH’NG Poh Tiong Publisher/Author of 100 Top Chinese Restaurants of the World

Download or read book Hong Kong written by Wei-Bin Zhang and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hong Kong has an urbanisation history of an interesting course -- from fishing village of the Qing dynasty under the Manchu rule, to British colony with 98 per cent of its population being Chinese, to global city with great wealth and business activities, to Communist China's Special Administrative Region (SAR) from 1 July 1997. China resumed sovereignty over Hong Kong and granted Hong Kong the right to self-government for at least 50 years, except over diplomatic and defense matters. Long before the return of Hong Kong to China, the colony had already firmly established itself as a regional business centre. It had been at the forefront of the East Asian economic 'miracle' between the 1970s and the mid 1990s. Lightened by multi-coloured neon signs of commercial advertisements, the semi-westernised Chinese city is more attractive in night than in daytime. Hong Kong is full of contrasts and paradoxes. The wide variety of the city's contrasting and yet fluid and interesting social and cultural images, aptly has been described as, 'east and west', local and colonial, modern and traditional, extravagant and frugal -- has earned it the epithet 'a cultural kaleidoscope'. The author explores these contrasts and paradoxes not only from economic, cultural, and social perspectives, but also from perspectives of non-linear theory and Adam Smith's and Confucian philosophies -- an endeavour which no other author has systematically made before.

Download or read book The 100 Best Australian Albums written by John O'Donnell and published by Hardie Grant Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian music has a proud, colourful and successful history. In 2008, Australian rock and roll turned 50. This book names the best Australian albums of the last 50 years. It places each album in order (from 1 u 100) and discusses why each album deserves its place. It tells the story behind the making of the album, where the album fits in the artist's career and the album's impact on the local and world stage etc. The entries will feature new interviews with the artists and the producers/managers involved in the recording and the release of the album. It wouldn't be a good list if it didn't polarise people and we hope that this list will. We also hope that it will get people sitting around comparing their favourites and discovering or re-discovering these great albums and others. With 70 years of loving and writing about Australian music between us, we shamelessly believe we've earned the right to write this book. And we think we've got it right. Let the debate begin.o u John O'Donnell, April 2010 Finally, here is a much-needed list of argument-starting top 100 seminal/ influential/essential Australian albums of all time. Let the fight begin!
