缺乏系統教育 不敢引導顧客嚐新 走向雷同 美國中菜漸失道地本色 (本報記者施秋羽三藩市報道 )

昨天三藩市舉行了一場「中餐館在美國的未來」座談會，包含名廚甄文達在內的參與者都認為，中菜在美國有定型、僵化的趨勢，變成走到那嚐起來都一樣的「美式中菜」，失去了應有的多樣性與特殊性，期望在未來能看到越來越多廚師更堅持自己的手藝，透過更積極的介紹與推廣，讓中菜呈現不一樣的風貌。　　這場由亞洲協會和中華文化中心聯合贊助舉行的「中餐館在美國的未來」座談會由名廚甄文達、美食小說家莫妮絲（Nicole Mones）、以及中華文化基金會共同主席鄭國和、餐館主廚Alex Ong、美食家Olivia Wu共同剖析中菜的現在與未來的發展。 Read More »

Panel Discussion: Mixed Asian Identity and the Creative Arts
論壇：混血亞裔身份認同以及創新藝術

What defines a HAPA? Is there a general definition or do their identities lay within themselves? These questions and more will be discussed on the panel of artists in relation to their own individual art styles as well as the increasingly popular general genre of HAPA art. Partnering with Asia Society, Chinese Culture Center proudly hosts this panel that includes a range of artists of mixed Asian descent — a musician, a visual artist, a filmmaker and a writer. Similar to our very own In Search of Roots Program, in which we help young individuals, of many were HAPA, find their heritage in many of their own diverse backgrounds and cultures, this discussion will further an understanding about the complexity of our rapidly changing community.
