Do you ever get that craving for some westernised Chinese food?
It's not authentic, it's usually not even particularly good, it's almost always just deep fried chicken in some sweet sauce, but even still you want it.

Why fight it?
I read a news article a while ago about some people who opened a westernised Chinese restaurant in Shanghai. Apparently they were very successful, especially with expats.
>Chinese come to America
>start up restaurants offering chicken feet and century eggs
>Americans don't want that shit
>Chinese get all offended and view Americans as tasteless barbarians
>devise crude, insultingly saccharine versions of dishes from their home country in contemptuous rage
>Americans eat up that slop anyway
The wonderful genesis of American Chinese cuisine.

Actually no. I've giving up on Chinese food as 98% of it is pure crap covered in a layer of cornstarch mucus.
Half the stuff in westernized Chinese food is because they western version of the dishes are cheaper to make. (You generally cant find most of the vegetables used in western Chinese in china) and the other half is to cater to western tastes for sales.
Its not a bad thing to fuse cultures and I don't see how it makes the food bad.
