  1. #KTVU2 #AAPI #SF #Chinatown #ChineseFood #ChineseRestaurants

    Just discovered this morning that KTVU has a dedicated AAPI webpage that you can find below.

    There are not a lot of stories/articles presented there but what is there is very interesting & inciteful to me, as it should be to anyone interested in the Chinese American experience.

    My favorite is Amber Lee's "Chinatown" which provides a unique "insiders" look into SF Chinatown -- it's history & it's restaurants & style of cooking Chinese food (which is unique to SF).

    Watching it brought back a lot of memories for me, particularly the banquets that my family held in the 50-60's at The Far East Cafe (in the video) & Shanghai Low Restaurant (long gone).

    Of historical note are the video re: Bruce Lee's roots in SF (the Chinese Historical Society in SF is holding a special exhibit re: Bruce now) & the article re: Iris Chang's book, The "Rape of Nanking" (a copy of which is sitting on my bookshelf).
