March News from Asian Food and Cookery

Hi everyone

I suddenly realised that among all the articles on Asian Food and Cookery, I hadn't yet found anything to publish on Korean cookery, so I did some research and came up with the article which follows.

Happy cooking!

Chinese Dining Guide by Jee Hui Poh
As a Chinese saying goes, "When going to an eating house, go to one that is filled with customers." A good rules of thumb for choosing the right Chinese restaurants to dine is if the restaurant isn't packed with customers during dinner time, chances are it's not worth a try.

Tasty Thai Food - Spicy, Salty, and Sour by Aleck Mann

Food is like a drug. How true is that? This is especially true for me when it comes to Thai food. Once I get started on any Thai dish, I get addicted to more of the same.
