@EllenInEdmonton@mstdn.ca @mel@nerdjoy.social @s1m0n4@ohai.social We are losing Dutch/Chinese restaurants in Holland. Coming in after WW2. Copying Indonesian kitchen that was better known in the main Ports Amsterdam and Rotterdam for many years.
Some became very good. We had a Chinese/ Canadian girl staying with us in 2009. Grew up in Little Italy Toronto, did not recognize Dutch Chinese at all 🙂
But many, the good ones too, have nobody to continue. Kids don't want to do that anymore.
Except a few, but they change to modern style

Our Western Chinese restaurants popped up across the prairies after the railway was built. These days, Chinese immigrants tend to be investing in a whole different kind of immigration. The young people who continue the family restaurants are choosing a more adventurous cuisine. Near me, I have Shanghai-style, with XLB Xiao Long Bao soup dumplings. Another place had more northern cuisine; there is a bao restaurant, specializing in steam buns, and there are a couple of dim sum restaurants.
I wish I had a giant bank account and more than one stomach.
