Although the thirteenth century adventurer Marco
Polo reputedly visited China, taking noodles back
to Italy, the gastronomy of this vast land remained
virtually unknown outside Asia until the middle of the
nineteenth century. Chinese immigrants, mainly from
the south-eastern province of Kuangtung, flocked to
the Australian goldfields in the 1850’s bringing their
rice, bowls and chopsticks to the colonies, along with
green tea and such delicacies as preserved duck. Since
that time our interest in Chinese cuisine has grown
dramatically.
