I don't get it. Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of content on that page, just a bunch of links and a small forum. Even the [about] link doesn't work...

The Museum of Chinese in the Americas has a similarly themed exhibit (2nd listing) for a few more weeks for NYers and visitors.

Sorry! MetaGlitch. When I went to his/her user page, it showed nothing, zero, zip.

When I clicked Specklet's link to casu marzu's user page, I got the same thing as Specklet. Thought it was wierd, because I was sure I had seen the name a few times before.

Curses! Now I'm hungry for chinese food. Oh well, at least I'm only five blocks away from Chinatown.

Jim Fong's close to Mott is my favorite dim sum palace.

Counting down to a reference to Eric Idle's "I like Chinese" in 3...2...1...

Damn I'm hungry. Those sesame balls hot out of the fryer are sure to please.

Artist Indigo Som's work and research on the reach of Chinese restaurants and their collective cultural impact upon American culture has been fascinating to observe in terms of her process and what she hopes to gain from this project. She's asked people from around the U.S. to send her their menus from their local Chinese restaurants and to fill out an online questionnaire as part of her Chinese restaurant survey project, which recently was exhibited at the Chinese Historical Society of America.

Zurishaddai: I love sesame balls, but am more partial to lotus seed filling than red bean filling...that's the way my mama made 'em! :)
