Confucius Was A Foodie III (Confucius Was A Foodie)

O pořadu

Confucius Was A Foodie. The taste of Chinese medicinal herbs, bitter flavor is said to clear ""heat"", strengthen-#-the stomach, and promote salivation. Bitterness in often found in Chinese cooking, but rarely-#-used alone. Christine cooks a popular local bitter ingredient with Asian Food TV star Ili Sulaiman-#-in Kuala Lumpur and makes a less than delicious visit to a Traditional Chinese Medicine shop,-#-experiencing firsthand the power of bitter herbs. Christine is presented with a Chinese-#-philosophy around bitter and learns how this philosophy applies to keeping Chinese heritage-#-alive in Malaysia. The Chinese concept of “in bitter there is sweetness” is applied to immigration-#-and restoration as Christine makes a memorial visit to Penang island where she meets the-#-engaging and eccentric hotelier Christopher Ong.
