![]() But, don't let that intimidate you-let it inspire you to shop these impressive food-focused gifts for all of the fellow foodies out there. TikToker Christine Buzan explains celebrities poses at the 2023 Met Gala. They have a four-tier spice rack and an entire cupboard shelf dedicated to hot sauce. They plan decadent feasts starting with hor d'oeuvres, followed by impeccable main courses with must-have after-dinner drinks and mouthwatering desserts that are so good, you swear you'll never eat another fast-food meal again. After all, they dedicate hours to flipping through cookbooks. You have some impressing to do, because this genre of self-proclaimed chefs is serious. Much like giving a wine lover a bottle of wine is expected, even boring, a gift basket or jar of vaguely interesting tapas spread will fall flat with any food aficionado. That's not to say this is an easy undertaking. But, most of us would like to stay in the realm of achievable (not impossible) when shopping for a foodie. Ok, for everyone who doesn’t care too much about taste and presentation, it is quite inexpensive for Chinese food and for certain “Foodies” cheap means good.The absolute best gift for a foodie is scoring them that impossible-to-get reservation at that impossibly good restaurant and footing the bill for its impossibly complex tasting menu and wine pairing. Sorry to say so, but I would not recommend this restaurant. The whole experience just showed me once more that there are too many self proclaimed food experts around who show is HiSo faces on TV and promote something from what they actually have no clue. The food, the service and the whole dining experience in the restaurant was for me a big let down. The braised eggplant in soy sauce was topped with amounts of shredded fresh garlic, which was not pleasant anymore to eat. The beef Honk Kong style was so much tenderized with baking powder, that the meat would have most properly dissolved itself within the next 2 days. The chicken in orange sauce was ok, but a bit overpowered with sugar. I took a few pancakes with the duck, but was also not impressed by its taste. The aromatic crispy duck was nothing else than deep-fried shredded duck meat, which looked for me like the left-over meat from some once Beijing duck. The Murray’s MVP platter is just that: a spread of the most valuable players to ever grace the charcuterie board field. Anyway, what was served to us at the Yangzi Jiang restaurant was not good. Murray's Cheese The MVP Charcuterie Platter. Apart from Chinese restaurants in the 5 star hotels, I went as well many times to local restaurants in China (if basic hygiene standards applied). The sauce is ready to serve when the chicken is heated through and has an internal temp of 165☏. I don’t want to claim myself as expert in Chinese food, but I have worked as an Executive Chef in Hong Kong, Tianjin and Sanya and had as well in other locations Chinese restaurants under my responsibility. Cook with chicken: Add cooked pieces of chicken back to sauce. As I always like to sample a few dishes, I ordered as well the chicken in orange sauce, beef Honk Kong style and braised eggplant in soy sauce. At that point I expected some tasty sliced duck breast with crispy skin. We were looking forward to order a Beijing duck, but as we were only 2 as our son was not in any eating mood, we were talked in by the service staff to better order the “Aromatic crispy duck”. Unfortunately in this case the cheap interior does reflect exactly the food and service of the restaurant. She also offers posing hacks tailored to various settings such as at a cafe or a family gathering. Buzan regularly shares posing tips on her platform by analyzing celebrities' poses. Anyway, sometimes the interior of a restaurant doesn’t have to reflect the food and therefore we gave it a try. That may be why TikTok creator and self-proclaimed posing expert Christine Buzan, who goes by lookgoodinphotos, has a strong following of 1.5 million. When we first arrived there, even my wife wasn’t sure anymore if we should really eat there or just find something else. I was told by my wife that we had to eat at this restaurant as it was promoted on some Thai TV channel. ![]()
