Child Octopus: Edible Adventures in Hong Kong (Zip and Eat Pocket Reader)
"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)Â
Discover Iris's supervillain lair, high above the city
Featuring two dozen black and white photos, Child Octopus is the first installment in a new series of short ebooks about Asian food and travel.Â
