    [synopsis] => There is a particular region in today's renaissance of Chinese cooking that is often, overlooked, Chinatown. In other words, Chinese food cooked in Chinatown for Chinese people-stir-fried noodles, bao buns, pork buns, scallion pancakes, wontons, potstickers, spring rolls, the list goes on. At the very center of this beloved cuisine were the old teahouses that served countless mouth-watering snacks and treats, providing delicious affordable fuel that fed the working-class community.

Like many great chefs, Chris Cheung was, inspired by the places he grew up eating in. The food of these teahouses is the central philosophy behind Cheung's ever-popular restaurant East Wind Snack Shop. There, Chef Cheung's focuses primarily on an endeavor he calls "chasing the perfect dumpling." Whether it's making the dough from scratch, grinding the meat, hand-folding each wrapper, or perfecting exact cooking temperatures, Cheung has painstakingly agonized over every specific detail that goes into cooking this understated masterpiece.

In addition to learning his techniques for creating what New York Magazine called the "Absolute Best Dumplings in NY," this cookbook teaches readers how to make all kinds of classic delights reminiscent of the golden age in Chinatown, such as:

• Potstickers
• Spring Rolls
• Wonton Soup
• Soup Dumplings
• Gwa Bao Buns
• General Tso's Chicken
• Beef and Broccoli
• Scallion Pancakes
• Har Gow (Shrimp Dumplings)
• Fried Rice
• Cucumber Salad
• Cold Sesame Noodles
• Sweet and Sour Pork, Peking Style
• Chicken Chow Mein
• Sichuan Vegetables
• Char Sui Black Cod
• Black Bean Clams
• Crispy Fish Mapo Tofu
• Salt-and-Pepper Shrimp
• Blue Crabs Dry
• Barbecue Duck
• Egg Tarts
• Tea Eggs
• Congee
• Hong Kong Hot Cakes
• Sesame Cookies
• Bubble Tea

Like Cheung's restaurants, this cookbook is a tribute to both the food served in those wonderful Chinatown establishments and the community they fed, the food Chris loves to cook, which he says give us "a few moments of happiness that bring us back to our childhood."
