The world is borrowing from Cantonese cuisine – but is it a threat to authenticity? 05/01/2024 by ♭♫ [+-]
[www.scmp.com]
These borrowings may be inspiring chefs and tantalising new palates around the world, but what does it mean for Cantonese cuisine? In the face of the continued urbanisation of Hong Kong, and the city’s upcoming full integration with the mainland, some have expressed fear that Cantonese cuisine may be lost, or its authenticity diluted.
With international chefs now using elements of Cantonese cuisine in their own dishes, will this muddy the boundaries of Cantonese food, and threaten its existence or purity?
“People believe that it should be and only can be classic and traditional, while I believe that innovative thinking or contemporary style can bring in more variety and possibilities to Cantonese cuisine,” he says.
“I see many young talented Chinese chefs trying to bring in more ideas because they’ve seen the world, much more than what we saw when we were at their age 20 or even 30 years ago. And it’s not for chefs to say whet
her it’s the right approach or not – guests and the market will tell you.”
“Variety shouldn’t be the enemy of traditions. The market tends to look for new ideas or creations, but it doesn’t mean traditional style is diluted or less important, in fact, it makes classic dishes even more precious and significant,” he says. “At T’ang Court we stick to traditional recipes and techniques for guests who appreciate classic style, and we will continue to do so to keep the heritage.”
“Technical skills are very high in Cantonese cuisine, I’d say even more so than in Japanese or French. It’s difficult to make Cantonese dishes perfect,” says Tutak.

District 3 candidates spar in rare Cantonese-language debate
At a debate designed for monolingual Cantonese speakers Saturday, the District 3 candidates — speaking in Cantonese, or with their own interpreters — agreed that San Francisco needs to hire more police officers.
“We’re about 500 police officers short in San Francisco. We’re 50 officers short in Central Station, which is tasked with protecting Chinatown. So that’s the first priority,” said Sauter, the executive director of Neighborhood Centers Together and one of six candidates campaigning for the seat currently held by Supervisor Aaron Peskin.

San Francisco City Hall politics begins and ends in Chinatown.
[www.windnewspaper.com]
On March 30, Saturday, Farrell first held a rally at Portsmouth Square. Then he had a merchant walk around Chinatown's busy streets. He also attended the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association monthly meeting to greet the family association leaders and made a presentation on his agenda for running for mayor.
Farrell said at the rally that he would put public safety as his top priority once he got elected in November. "The Chinese community is in every neighborhood in San Francisco. The number one concern is public safety, especially for the Asian community who faces the challenge of anti-Asian hate and violence," Farrell said.
"The City Hall lacks focus. Like I did when I was the mayor, I will bring public safety back, and that's why I am running for mayor to fight against Asian hate crime," Farrell added.
"We need to clean up the streets in San Francisco. The streets belong to our families, children, and seniors," Farrell said on the issues of homelessness and drug addicts. "I will treat them with options. It will no longer let the people living in tents. People died on the streets last year because of drug addiction. We need to take an aggressive approach. We need to get people off the streets."

Peskin, 59, president of the Board of Supervisors, formally kicked off his campaign at a rally in Chinatown’s Portsmouth Square, where throngs of his supporters—and a few dozen detractors—gathered.
Peskin has never won a citywide race before. Traditionally, voters on the city’s westside, including many Chinese Americans, lean more moderate, but Jim Stearns, a campaign consultant for Peskin, said his strong name recognition in Chinese community will help him get some support from that part of the city.
“Chinese votes will be a key for him to win this election,” Stearns said.Quote

Compared to building sober living in Chinatown, building senior housing is comparatively much more important as it also is "community-building" (no pun intended). Looks like politicians quickly got blindsided by how extremely powerful the Asian voting block is in San Francisco.
[www.sfchronicle.com]
Earlier this month, news of a city-led plan to convert Hotel North Beach at 935 Kearny St. — roughly two blocks from the New Asia site — into a 150-unit sober living facility for formerly homeless people and those recovering from drug addiction caught the Chinatown community by surprise and caused much uproar. The plan has since been scrapped.Quote

I am committed to not re-electing Mayor London Breed for San Francisco.
(I also think if Nikki Haley loses against that criminal, then she can still run as an independent candidate for President.)
[www.kron4.com]
Some Chinatown business leaders feel blindsided having learned of Mayor London Breed’s plans through a tip from a staffer of their supervisor Aaron Peskin. Nancy Yu Law has a store about a block away from the chosen site and was busy with Lunar New Year festivities when she rushed to a meeting with the mayor within a half hour of learning about this plan.
“We were kind of surprised. How come we didn’t hear anything from anyone?” she said. “And we did give her a lot of questions because we have concerns, we don’t know exactly what kind of program it is. It’s the first of its kind in the nation according to what they say.”
Merchants who spoke to KRON4 believe that between the tourism and nightlife, the North Beach/Chinatown corridor is not an appropriate setting for people trying to get sober.
“Our tourists are not comfortable. They should be put somewhere else. A different location would be a better environment for them,” said Edward Siu, who president of the Chinatown Merchants United Association of San Francisco.

It is well known that lumber was pivotal in both the creation and growth of Madera County. The city of Madera even received its name from the industry. Between 1876 and 1933, lumber was harvested in the mountains and transported down the flume to the planing mill in Madera.
Throughout the life of Madera County’s lumber industry, three corporations succeeded one another in keeping the business alive. First there was the California Lumber Company, which built the first flume and then went bankrupt in 1878. Next came the Madera Flume and Trading Company, which ran the operation until the Madera Sugar Pine Company acquired its assets and began to improve them in 1899.
The Madera Sugar Pine Company revitalized the industry and soon created a need for additional workers. This was met with the influx of large numbers of Chinese laborers in and near the company town of Sugar Pine in the mountains. To house these workers, the company turned an area just below the sawmill into a Chinatown.

Thirty-four refugees from Vietnam have been resettled on Penghu (Pescadores) after being rescued from a desert island in the Spratly group in the South China Sea by a Chinese fishing boat. When they arrived in the southern Taiwan seaport of Kaohsiung, they recounted how many of their number, including women and children, had died of exposure, hunger and thirst during the 50-day ordeal on the island. They said that after they were allowed to leave Vietnam by the authorities on paying several ounces of gold, they set out on their fishing boat without the faintest idea where they would go, or of what awaited them in the vast and mysterious ocean. All they knew was that no matter how terrible their fate, it could not be any worse than living under the cruel Communist regime in Vietnam. Their troubles started five days after their departure when their boat developed engine trouble. Fierce winds and rough sea forced them to abandon their original plan to go to Malaysia, and they headed instead for the Philippines. Their journey ended, however, when they ran aground on the barren island. Just when it seemed that all would perish from starvation and dehydration, the Chinese ship "Tsai Fu", under the command of Captain Chen Cheng-man picked up 56 survivors, most of them ethnic Chinese.

Scott,
My cards said in several readings that you made an extremely bad investment and you know it and are now stewing in it. The cards repeatedly says your fiancé has been dishonest with his finances. I think it has something to do with the house that you both live in. It looks like he eventually will not be able to keep up with his mortgage payments therefore you will end up paying for his mortgage without gaining any additional equity in this house. You will resent his deception and it will be this house that will stress your relationship everyday because that's all that you will be thinking about... getting screwed by your fiancé...the master manipulator. Ultimately, your fiancé is a succubus: he is manipulating you to prevent his own suicide that eventually will lead to your suicide. [www.psychologytoday.com]
That looks like your never-ending Sisyphusic Karmic life cycle that only you can choose to break or choose to continue into your next life. Had you originally listened to your heart instead of your head, then you would not be setting yourself up for this unfortunate self inflicted booby trap.

Scott,
I found more documented disturbing news for you. According to [educator.ctc.ca.gov] your fiancé
had his Teaching Credentials revoked both in 2002 & 2006 and his Certificate of Clearance revoked in 2001. He does have some face-saving features...he is now only allowed to teach PE until Feb 2025. So after the wedding, it looks like you will have some redeeming bragging rights for bagging such a trophy husband. You just need to figure out how your respectable friends won't found out about this embarrassing shame he brings to your reputation as well as to your marriage as an illegitimate therapist. Public Records are not secret and his shame will be permanently made public. Instead of being caught exposing his dick to a mother and her daughter, his legal defense should have been he was unaware of an audience was about to witness him urinating from the balcony because the toilet in the house was occupied but since he didn't have the balls to have a creative excuse, you and your marriage will suffer the consequences because moving forward, his shame as a flasher is now your shame and now you will have to deal with being caught with your pants down at the alter.

Scott,
I just found the official documented deception and secret that your fiancé is hiding from you. He is illegally practicing as a therapist in California hence his shameful desperation as a gold digger by rushing you to get married as if he has a bun in the oven that is merely a half baked idea to sucker someone to throw him a lifeline. His dishonor is solved once he seals the deal with a sugar daddy so that he can shut down his illegal operation. Otherwise, be prepared to pay his legal fees as he is broke for he could end up jailed for a very long time after your honeymoon. You'll often be wondering if your husband is enjoying being gang-banged in jail while you sleep alone thinking back if it was all worth it to you.
According to [search.dca.ca.gov] your fiancé currently does not have a license to medically practice psychology in California.
It reads:
LICENSE TYPE: ASSOCIATE MARRIAGE & FAMILY THERAPIST
LICENSE STATUS: SURRENDERED
LICENSEE HAS SURRENDERED HIS OR HER LICENSE TO RESOLVE A DISCIPLINARY ACTION. NO PRACTICE IS PERMITTED.Quote

My cards keep describing your fiancé as an inverted King of Cups: One who secretly lusts for power, but lacks the courage, intellect, or work ethic necessary to take it. A charming seducer who appears innocent and understanding, but is in fact selfish and unfaithful. My readings also revealed over the course of time that you are an upright King of Wands spreading good karma who consistently stayed that way even before you were introduced to the long distance man of your dreams, an upright Queen of Pentacles, to which you both would have made a perfect yin-yang (陰&陽) ☯ couple. Your fiancé as an inverted King of Cups and you as a King of Wands makes your double king of card relationship a double yang-yang (陽&陽) couple and so it will never be balanced hence why your is fraught with a lot of petty bickering according to the card readings. He also makes his living by listening to other people's messed up emotions all day long so that is wearing him down and taxing his ability to be emotionally available to you who also is an emotionally needy person.
[www.cosmopolitan.com]
The King of Cups Reversed
Major drama alert! When the King of Cups appears reversed, his shadow side is revealed. He is emotionally unavailable, insensitive, and immature. He acts on impulse with no thought to how his actions may affect anyone else. Moody and unpredictable, this guy is a chaotic storm coming through to disrupt everything in his path. Have you ever seen a rock star throw a tantrum and destroy a dressing room backstage because something did not go his way or the sound was off? That’s the energy right here. Watch out for this one, as he can be quite manipulative and insincere with his feelings.Quote

My multiple tarot readings over the past couple of weeks regarding your marriage-to-be with your fiancé are full of back-to-back extremely mentally-torturing cards of swords that are all over the place. Your fiancé has been dishonest with his finances thus lacking transparency. His hidden ulterior motive for marriage is purely financial-motivated while deceiving you that it is really about love. My readings also suggest that in order for him not to reveal his secret (in order to protect his professional reputation) which he is hiding from you is that he is really a hypocrite on sexual addiction...so through your eyes, he will be exploiting your tunnel-vision blinded by "love" by cheating on you without you ever suspecting that he is capable of cheating on you...however he is one who can live with infidelity and deception within his conscience (unlike you according to your birthday) so this is a heads-up to you that he will weaponize his Psychology PhD to manipulate your emotional vulnerabilities and emotional dependence on him. My readings also confirms that you will be suffering even more emotionally after your marriage to to this guy because your sub-conscience will be yearning for your long distance true love who will reject any secret romantic advances from you once you are married to someone else. That true love will also refuse to communicate with you after you get a divorce. Your long distance true love has a genuine pure heart and does not care about your money nor needs it.
Bottom line is these multiple card readings reveal that your fiancé will play games of deception and mind games with you and you will never know how you were ever manipulated to get married and be entrapped in a situation that emasculates you. At least, you still have choices to make in the next several weeks and the wise thing to do is for you to postpone the wedding until you understand how you really benefit from it.Quote

Scott,
I had an opportunity to sample a glimpse of your fiancé book and based on his writing style I have concluded that he is an incredibly boring person. No wonder you feel so punished. To be tortured by your partner's exceptionally boring personality is a death sentence. If you are going to publish a book then you need to write like Laurie Garrett and grab the attention of your reader in your first sentence. It looks like people will only purchase his book if he goes on tour fulltime with only a handful of people clapping in the end. It is too bad his style of clothing does not compliment your style of clothing. The way he wears his clothes shouts "Look at me, I'm so boring."Quote

The difference between an Ox and a Bull is that one will be domesticated and castrated by it's master after it no longer serves it's purpose.
If your marriage eventually forces you to find physical affection with the cootie-harboring rentboys on the street corners of West Hollywood, you will unforgivingly hate yourself even more until you die by suicide for having to keep your infidelity a secret and always having to sneak away "on business" causing you to chronically violate your marriage contract in secret. This legally favors this masterminding psychologist in divorce court so he literally has got you by the balls that you willingly will surrender to him on May 4 when you tie the knot [no pun intended]. Some people can live with infidelity on their conscience but according to your birthday, you can't...and your infidelity will torture your soul with depression which you can't reveal to your psychologist partner because you have too much to lose such as your reputation, dignity, and assets as your guilt and shame will follow you into your next life like a never ending karmic cycle. Your partner believes he is "helping" you when he is actually "destroying" you by undermining your human nature with his expertise as a scholar on sexual addiction. Instead of receiving the gift that keeps on giving, you will self-impose a shame that keeps on shaming and that will offset every karmic gains from all the donated time and thousands of dollars you already gave unselfishly to charity.
As an Ox, I'd run for the hills while you still can. But as a Bull, I'd stay away from a china shop because you already have been checkmated...game over.Quote

Scott,
I forgot to mention that your specific birthday makes you uniquely hyper-sexual and that you can't thrive or be inspired without that special touch whereas your fiancé, the psychologist, has his entire career (based on his webpage) banking on de-sexualizing his patients so I can only predict that he isn't meeting your needs of sexual health thinking that you need help with "addiction" therapy not realizing that you will wither on the vine because your physical desires isn't an addiction but the very core essence that defines your mental and healthy well-being according to your birthday. It's ironic that he is also a marriage counselor and doesn't realize your physical needs are paramount for a happy marriage. It baffles me as to why you even accepted his proposal for a future of a sexless marriage because it is all down hill for you after you tie the knot. You are being manipulated by a mastermind and you will never be happy with this prince charming because he will medically justify weaponizing sex with him to gain concessions. As far as the wedding, the longer you delay cancelling it, the more expensive it will get for everyone especially for those who have to make travel arrangements to attend the last day of your freédom.Quote

To my Ox friend in Long Beach:
Horses are financially irresponsible. If your horse fiancé is rushing you to get married, he won't reveal his financial debt bomb to you until after the wedding, therefore his debt bomb will become your debt bomb. You will need to sell your second and third home to keep your little pony happy especially since his book reviews on Amazon isn't gaining any traction as if his book was DOA since it was published. And if you truly love him, then you deserve him for richer or poorer, to death do you part. You know he is broke when he couldn't afford $1 to make a donation to your cause. At least, you can one-up all your happily married friends by proudly parading your trophy horse since your horse (or IMHO: a high maintenance white elephant) will be able to one-up all his happily married friends for successfully bagging a sugar daddy like putting an Ox in a Box.Quote
