You haven't truly visited Chinatown, San Francisco, unless you've seen it through Shirley Fong-Torres' eyes, read her stories in THE WOMAN WHO ATE CHINATOWN, or actually taken one of her tours.
She wraps her love of food around the history of Chinatown and growing up in the area, her family and all her connections throughout the District. Her stories are alive with tips on where to find the best DimSum, favorite herbal shops, stops for snacks, street by street descriptions, shopping and fabulous recipes.
Martin Bauer, San Francisco Chronicle , perhaps best sums it all up: "Shirley Fong-Torres knows San Francisco's Chinatown better than anyone . . . She's downloaded a chunk of what she knows in this book, filled with great information and a touching account of her family history."
I write this from experience. I've read and re-read her book and taken her tours. A visit to Chinatown isn't complete without Shirley's shared humor, wisdom and information. Suggest you buy it on amazon.com or visit wokwiz.com for more information.
