Culinary diversity finds a home

Although most ethnic restaurants in Auburn have become highly Americanized, some places can still boast about cooking up their culture's authentic tastes.Jack Mok, sophomore in architecture, is originally from Hong Kong."People say Hong Kong has the best food in China because it has a mixed culture," Mok said.His family, who still resides there, will sometimes ship him certain snacks found only in Hong Kong, but when he's looking for his culture's food in Auburn, he has a few restaurants in mind that he believes are the most authentic."Since food from Hong Kong is basically Chinese food, I'll go to a few Chinese restaurants around Auburn," Mok said.Mok said China Palace on College Street is his favorite restaurant."China Palace is the only restaurant with food from Hong Kong," he said.
