Have You Eaten Yet?: Stories from Chinese Restaurants Around the World by Cheuk Kwan

informative inspiring medium-paced

3.0

I thought this book was going to focus mainly on culinary aspects of Chinese restaurants around the world, but it was more stories of Chinese immigration and diaspora from the lenses of Chinese restaurant owners. It was interesting nonetheless, just didn't match what I was expecting from the description. The writing felt a bit dry and the stories started to all blend together for me, so I ended up skimming most of the second half. Overall, not bad and I did appreciate learning about so many diasporic stories and communities.
