Asian or Not Asian?!

by Celia Sin-Tien Cheng
January 31, 2008

Back from Asia, Celia, Cynthia and Everett share some thoughts on their findings in Taipei, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore. But our January feature might not be what you’re expecting. By choice or by chance, we ended up exploring more Western cuisines while in Asia. Find out why in our latest feature, “Food in Asia But Not Asian Food.”

Also, don’t forget to check out the new section: Listening. Read and listen to our music commentator, Roy’s, selections that satisfy the cravings of the ears. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Finally, just a reminder that this year Chinese New Year falls on February 7th. Happy year of the rat!
