What's New?
23rd August
Well time has flown and lots has happened with my life.
I am now a
proud father and as such site updates have been impacted I'm afraid!
CantoDict is still going strong though and I hope to find time for some useful updates soon.
On a less positive note, we are currently undergoing a spam attack, so please bear with us while we
try and deal with this.

On this visit, a few viewers mentioned about a place that serves up New York Chinatown's most famous Pork Chop on Rice. It's nothing fancy but it is one of the most loved dishes there; and having tried it, I can see why. Tender pork chops, luscious sauce and perfectly cooked rice...and all this for $8.

On March 27th, a driver crashed into the front of New Lun Ting Cafe in SF Chinatown, popularly known as "Pork Chop House", destroying half of the storefront. Now, the restaurant remains closed until repairs can be made and city inspectors deem it safe to open again.
This fundraiser goes toward repairs to the shop and for lost wages while the restaurant remains closed during reconstruction.

[+-]Preserving cultural heritage should also mean
presenting these dishes by their official Cantonese names instead of in Mandarin.

Guangzhou authorities on Wednesday released new regulations on morning tea heritage protection, effective on May 1, which mandate that operators must explicitly indicate whether their dim sum dishes are made using traditional on-site methods or through non-traditional means.
The mainland Chinese legislation also stipulates a strict 24-hour freshness window from production to consumption for traditionally made items to preserve the intangible cultural heritage.

Online sentiments reflect deep dismay over Chinatown's cultural erosion, as mainland Chinese businesses willing to pay inflated rents steadily displace local heritage and food.

[+-]The "Stop Nick Shirley Act" literally sounds like it was authored by the CCP. Mr. President, please send your federal auditors to investigate all the politicians pushing to pass this legislation especially our state attorney general and his wife. Corruption and protecting criminals now defines the Democratic Party.

Exposing California's corrupt "Stop Nick Shirley Act", instead of going after the fraudsters California is now going after the people exposing the fraud.

The atmosphere buzzes with energy: red-and-gold arches frame the entrance, street vendors call out in Cantonese and Japanese, and the air carries scents of sizzling pork buns and jasmine tea from nearby stalls, creating a lively, welcoming vibe under strings of lanterns that glow even by day. Cobblestone paths lined with cherry trees in spring add a poetic touch, while crowds of locals and tourists mingle harmoniously, evoking the feel of a perpetual festival.

The collection, which comprises more than 5,000 items, was donated to the city’s Centre des mémoires montréalaises and will be displayed in the coming years as part of various museum projects.
The goal is to preserve the heritage of the iconic site in Montreal’s Chinatown, which has been described as a pillar of Montreal’s history of migration, trade and neighbourhood life.

Every year, as Australian universities fill back up, so do the streets around Sydney’s Chinatown. New students, new money, new appetites and a neighbourhood that never stops evolving.
International students have long been a driving force behind the evolution of Chinatown, but their influence goes well beyond filling restaurant seats. According to Kitty Lu, Director of Public Affairs at HungryPanda Australia, a food delivery app specialising in Asian cuisine, they function as both cultural carriers and economic engines.

[+-]The reason why the socialist-democrats allow their homeless population to grow and get out of control while keeping them permanently homeless and concentrated in certain cities is so that they can mobilize signatures to get items on the ballot through unlawful transactions. Keeping them homeless allows them to raid the federal government for funds in the millions of dollars to create ghost programs without actually helping the homeless. Then they ban voter ID because they depend on paying homeless people and undocumented illegal migrants to cast fake votes on behalf of absentee voters to rig our democratic elections just like how the CCP interferes in the Hong Kong elections. Mr. Newsom needs to go to jail for banning voter ID while the law to ban investigative journalism in California aka the "Stop Nick Shirley Act" is pending approval not by the CCP but from our own communist party leader: Mr. Gavin Newsom.

Paid signature gatherers are operating inside homeless encampments in San Francisco to collect ballot petition signatures for California's November 2026 propositions. Video evidence captured on the street shows signers being offered payment and instructed by gatherers to use other people's names and addresses, and the operation was still running the next day at a different location. When something goes wrong at street level, who is actually responsible?

Re: If Taishan had a national dish, then it would be Clay Pot Eel Rice 04/15/2026 by ♭♫
[+-]Notice that the restaurant food server has no reaction to when the vlogger said that the clay pot eel rice has very good wok-hei. LOL. That is because there isn't any wok-hei in clay pot rice to begin with. LOL. The entire dish is cooked not in a wok but inside the clay pot that is being served to you. When in doubt, You can always say that the dish is "好好味" instead.

Today, I'm in Taishan, a small city in Guangdong, China. Despite its size, this town has a huge global impact.
