My friend Cheuk Kwan just found a great article about an event we participated in more than a year ago. Last September, Cheuk and I discussed “Food and the Chinese Diaspora” at the Vancouver Public Library. As author of Have you Eaten Yet?, Cheuk talked from his experiences filming and eating in Chinese restaurants around the world. I talked from my experiences interviewing Hakka from around the world for The Hakka Cookbook.

Unbeknown to us, a Hakka Toisan Chinese writer, Melody Yun Ya Ma was in the audience and wrote a wonderfully descriptive piece about our event for Rungle.org . If you missed our discussion last year, this article captures it beautifully. Or view this video. To see this years event, Eating Globally: Chinese Cuisine, view this video.
