I live in Raleigh, NC. However, I was born and raised in Portland. Your book reminded of the 'old times' when there were many Chinese wedding banquets. Unfortuately, that tradition has been lost. I still remember the banquets though. I often visit Portland to attend the Portland Chinese Community reunion. Our friends took my sister and I to several restaurants. I certainly enjoyed the food. Here in NC one cannot find food such as we had. I have one question: What Chinese restaurant in Portland would you recommend? Thank you and thank you for your writings. Mrs. Gay Kaga Hello,
