My grown up, confounding, exasperating, exhilarating blessing of a son is going off to college!

September 21, 2018 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan Northwest Asian Weekly In about 10 days, our oldest son Tyler is heading off to college. Maybe I need to provide a little background. Tyler is indeed our eldest child, but since he is a triplet, he’s only older by about three minutes because he came out first. Whether he was born […]

Fusion and fried rice – a match made in heaven

August 3, 2018 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY Beef noodle soup, Asian tapas, and sushi? Thanks, but no thanks. I try not to be a foodie elitist, but I’ve never been attracted to restaurants that mix and match cuisines from two or more cultures. And don’t even get me started on fusion restaurants. Szechuan tostadas topped with […]

Too much of a good thing

April 13, 2018 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY Living in Seattle or near a major metropolitan area, you’ve no doubt seen it — brightly colored bicycles parked randomly on street corners, unchained to any bike stands, and absent any chains or traditional locks to keep them secure. It’s called “Bike Share” — anyone with a smartphone can […]

The perfect, much too perfect Christmas tree

January 5, 2018 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY Another Christmas and year has come and gone, and I have a confession — we bought our first artificial Christmas tree. First, I take you back to 1991, to my first Christmas as a married man. We lived in a small townhome, and despite the very modest size of […]

If someone could come up with a matzo ball dim sum restaurant, we’d all be set

November 17, 2017 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY It’s interesting what one feels pride over. A few days ago, I was playing tennis with a group of guys during our weekly tennis match. We’ve been playing regularly for years now. During a break in play, we started talking. It’s never anything important — it could be about […]

WAYNE’S WORLDS — A diet f it for a frog

September 29, 2017 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY I am on a diet. I feel like I say that a lot. Actually, you can probably figure out how old I am by the number of times I say I’m on a diet every year. It’s like counting the rings in the cross section of a tree. Ah, […]

WAYNE’S WORLDS: There is such a thing as MSG withdrawal

June 2, 2017 By Northwest Asian Weekly

I’ve heard that someone going through the symptoms of withdrawal can be dramatic, but it’s only been recently that I’ve seen the effects in person. Just to be sure, I searched online to better understand some of these symptoms.

WAYNE’S WORLDS: Blessed are the donuts

March 10, 2017 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY We are truly blessed. The other night, my wife Maya and I were sitting across from each other at the dining table when Maya seemed to pause for a moment and seemed lost in thought. She took a breath and with a gentle smile on her face, looked up […]

WAYNE’S WORLDS: Roses are red … and they’d better be

February 10, 2017 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY Ahh, I love that spring is right around the corner. The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming, and even the gophers in my back yard seem to be leaving my wife’s rose bushes alone. Speaking of roses, the spring bloom must also mean it’s that time of year […]

WAYNE’S WORLDS: An electrifying fair or — how I avoided death, fell in love, and became a chairman

November 18, 2016 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY Well, now I’ve done it. I didn’t think I would. Actually, I was sure I wouldn’t. I’ve got too much on my plate already. I wouldn’t be able to do it justice. Even if I wanted to, I just don’t have the time, so no way. It’s just not […]
