A: Oh, but I am basically a Vegetarian!  Let me taste a little bit, wow, this soup is so tasty.

Bc: When did you start eating just vegetables?

A: Almost 10 years.  No worries though, I do go with friends to try good food.  Does Lin serve vegetarian dishes?

Bc: Of course, this plate here is a legume dish, pretty yummy!

A: I love it, not greasy, not over-seasoned and the texture is great.

Bc: Do you cook vegetarian at home too?

A: My diet is very simply, but my husband enjoys having meat.  It’s not fair to ask those around me to eat just vegetables.

Bc: You never really stop working after immigrating here.  You’ve been
giving singing lessons too?

Bc: You still go back to Hong Kong and perform in concerts, are you going back again soon?

A: My husband works in Hong Kong so I do spend time there. If timing and everything else is right, I’ll perform as a guest singer.

Bc: Look at these steaming hot Shao Loong Bao and Pan-fried Shrimp Dumpling, both are soup buns, so they’re hot inside.  Hey, this Garlic Honey Prawn is very delicious too.

A: What colourful plating!  Prawns and bell peppers do go well together.

Bc: Were Chinese cuisine as good as today when you first moved here?
Greater Vancouver changed a lot and is still changing.  Well, here comes another of Chef Jiang’s signature dishes. This one is for you too: Deep-fried stuffed tofu and mushroom.

A: Yea, back then, life was simpler and not as many varieties of cuisines to choose from.  And now, there are different ethnic restaurants that serve authentic dishes; and lots more to do on a daily basis.  I love it when there’s something to look forward to! Moreover, Vancouver is such a beautiful place and the four seasons are full of characters.  This is truly a place where I can relax and have fun at the same time.
