In the US, we have restaurants that serve foods from many different countries.
The claim is that many restaurants tone down the food for Americans.
Also, I have coworkers from Italy who hate Italian food served here - too much garlic, strong flavors that overpower the real taste of the food. If the chef is Italian and knows my coworkers are from Italy, the chef actually cooks differently than what's on his menu.
Supposedly it's the same with Chinese food. Chinese people get different food vs what's on the menu.
My question... Without making special request of the chef which cuisine served in America is close to what is served in the "old" country? Chinese, Indian, Thai, Mexican, Japanese, etc, etc, etc?
Any opinions?
