Product Description
"Like all of Matthew Amster-Burton's books, Child Octopus puts you right into the middle of his travels, chopstick to chopstick. With Iris and Matthew as my guides, I would virtually and literally go anywhere."—Becky Selengut, author of Shroom: Mind-bendingly Good Recipes for Cultivated and Wild Mushrooms
Seattle food writer Matthew Amster-Burton grew up on Chinese-American food. One day, he decided to take his ten-year-old daughter out for Chinese…in Hong Kong.
Join two adventurous eaters as they explore night markets, hawker centers, gargatuan malls, and a fancy dim sum palace, all while living out their food fantasy: spending a week without having to eat anything other than Chinese food.
Along with Matthew and Iris, you’ll:
• Ride the world’s most exhilarating form of public transportation
• Eat crispy rice, egg tarts, Hong Kong French toast, and a spicy chicken dish with more chiles than chicken
• Hang out with locals (human and feline)
• Discover Iris’s supervillain lair, high above the city
Featuring two dozen color photos, Child Octopus is the first installment in a new series of short ebooks about Asian food and travel.
We’re not experts. We just got here. And we’re hungry.
