Found that to be quite true. Its impossible to eat conventional Chinese food
in the US as it just tastes bad.
Although living in LA area is OK as there are some good Chinese retaurants in San Gabriel Valley. I like the Hunan restaurant on San Gabriel blvd. There was a good hot pot restaurant on Valley Blvd called Chou's but it closed...plus the Mama there made bin lang.
