Buenos Aires recently hosted a mouthwatering cultural exchange as 100 locals tasted almond chicken – a classic Chinese dish – prepared by chef Tomás Xu. The free pop-up event, blending culinary traditions from the Chinese mainland and Argentina, left participants raving about flavors they’d never experienced before. 🎉
Xu, whose family migrated from Shanghai to Argentina decades ago, shared his journey of reinventing recipes while honoring his heritage. "Food bridges continents," he told the crowd, demonstrating how to marinate chicken in soy sauce and toast almonds to perfection. 🔥
First-time taker María López, 24, laughed: "I thought Chinese food was just dumplings! This sweet-savory crunch is next-level." The event also sparked discussions about Asian-Latin American fusion trends gaining traction in 2025. 🌏
