"Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy" at Museum of Chinese in America

I just saw this, and maybe some of you living in NYC will find this interesting:
MOCA, in Canal Street, is hosting “Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy” at Museum of Chinese in America.

“A two-room exhibition that compiles stories from more than 30 Chinese and Asian American chefs—told through writing, video interviews, interpretative ceramic sculptures, collected personal objects and more.”

The exhibition, now open, runs through March 2017.

We saw the exhibit when we were in NY in October. I must say, I was disappointed. It seemed to promise much, but I didn’t get much out of it. The museum had a few interesting exhibits, but the restaurant stuff was not among them.

Hmm, isn’t Chris Yeo of Straits Restaurant Singaporean? Or at least isn’t his restaurant Singaporean?
