홍콩계 미국인 희극인 Jimmy Yang 의 자서전 

 

- He is a food critic, a movie critic and a people critic . p.5

 

- Food is the glue in evey Chinese family, and ours was no different. Chinneese people are the biggest foodies in the world; there's a saying in China : "People put food first." .. There are always four homemade Chinese dishes and a gourmet soup du jour with a side of freshly  made rice. p.6

 

- And  there was nothing that made my dad angrier than fucking up the rice . p.6-7

 

- My usual lunch was Chinese food my dad made from the night before packed into a Tupperware; anything from pork belly with pickled vegetables to eeel braised in soy sauce. Once a week, my dad packed me a hot pocket. It wasn't your normal American Hot Pocket with ham and cheese; it was a hot pouch filled with sticky rice bought from the Chinese grocery store. It looked like astronaut food but it smelled like the back alley of Chinatown. p. 46
