Welcome to our next spotlight of our new mini series “A Day in Chinatown with…” where cookbook author and food writer Hetty McKinnon shares with us her favorite Chinatown spotlights.

According to Hetty, “No matter where I am in the world, Chinatown is my happy place. It's the place I connect with my cultural heritage, somewhere that eases my homesickness, a place where I feel at home. Importantly, Chinatown is a safe place for all, no matter who you are or where you are from, it has always been a haven for everyone who seeks good food, and a vibrant sense of community. “
