President's Message (June 2009)
The name of the dish was Fish Poached in Water (水煮魚), a famous Sichuan (四川) dish, but don't be fooled by the name. In the pot there was not water but broth, thick oil, and lots of chili, in which slices of fish were brought to boil. Appearance did not tell all either. The host of the lunch always wore a smile on her face, but barely one year ago, she had lost her beloved husband and only son in the tragic earthquake that permanently changed the landscape and lives of Sichuan (四川).
