I'm currently in smalltown, upstate New York. Very soon I'll be moving to smalltown Indiana.
I was in Western Guangdong province for almost 2 years, so that's the food I'm looking for. Although good Beijing duck is always welcome.
The "Chinese" food I've tried here so far is mostly unfamiliar. Maybe tasty, but I'm looking for home-cooking, know what I mean? Especially vegetables, as most places seem to be heavy on meat. It's weird, because when we would go out to eat in China, we'd just order the stuff we knew how to say, but I have no idea how to order the same thing here. We'd just say "chicken" or "fried noodles" or "What vegetables do you have?" and tasty food would come out, hot and steaming. At some point I know I'm going to get really desperate for "aet," which is a special kind of dumpling type thing they have in Guangdong, but again I have no idea how to find that in the States. Or how to spell it. It's possible there's no way to write it down, even in Chinese.
I think I'm just going to have to make friends with Chinese people and get them to teach me how to cook.
