Ho Chow
(literally meaning A bridge (Chow) over a river (Ho). This is a bridge in
the Yi-Hsin county, some fifty miles west of Shanghai. Yi-Hsin (beautiful-happy) county, like most others along
the lower Yangtze River, is crisscrossed by
a labyrinth of tributaries and canals and abounds in fresh water aquatic
produce. The county is famous for its pottery, its beautiful girls and its
delectable cuisine.
The bridge -- a gourmet place in
the county -- was always crowded on both sidewalks with food stalls
operated by local and area chefs peddling delicate and palatable
delicatessen and was patronized by local residents and tourists of all
ages.
The restaurant founder,
Carol, has inherited the tradition of fine food from her mother, who was
born in the Yi-Hsin and trained in the culinary
arts. The bridge was her favorite spot and its varied food offerings served
as a foundation upon which she diligently built.
As the inheritors of
this long tradition of cooking excellence, Ho Chow Staff offer Chinese food
that is authentic and delicious. Heritage is very much a part of the
Chinese culture and Ho Chow Restaurant is the embodiment of enduring
heritage. Come share it with us.
