Matan Malavski, from Israel, has been living in Chengdu for almost ten years. His passion for cooking comes from a Disney cookbook that he got in childhood.
In this video, he made a bold experiment by combining the local cured meat and western-style pizza during cooking. The Chinese and Western cooking methods got together and created a unique delicacy.
His love for Chengdu is beyond words, not only because he has a Chengdu wife, but more importantly, he has a feeling of being at home in Chengdu.
Background:
With the Chengdu Panda Asian Festival around the corner, GoChengdu.cn shoot the video series Food Fun in Chengdu, which aims at recording how new-Chengduers cook food with typical Chengdu flavors.
The first protagonist of the video is the giant panda, the second an Israeli man who marries a Chengdu girl and the third a general manager who works in a luxury hotel-Temple House in Chengdu. They are not Chengdu locals in a traditional way, but they are part of the city as "New Chengdu People".
There is a growing number of foreigners who enjoy life in the city. Their stories about food and cooking show the city's diversity and inclusiveness.
