About this episode

Yumi discusses the similarities in menus across regional Chinese restaurants in Australia with guest Jennifer Wong.

Yumi gets Jennifer Wong to explain how every regional Chinese restaurant in Australia ...somehow, mysteriously, shares the same menu? You can find out more about how Jen knows so much about the Chinese restaurants of regional Australia by checking out her book Chopsticks or Fork? - available everywhere. She also has a bunch of shows on in coming months, including Sydney Writers Festival (Yumi also doing a bunch of events), and VIVID, and more. Find out everything Jen has on here . Hosted on Acast.
