Give me liberty or give me beef satay!

January 4, 2019 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne ChanNORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY File this under: non-earth shattering news. I’m just about to head home after a two week-long journey to Hong Kong, Taipei, and Phuket. It’s been a great trip where I got to visit with friends and family, and sample food from different parts of the globe. But there’s been something […]

A tycoon’s to-do list

November 16, 2018 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY It’s not easy being insanely, crazy, filthy rich, but somehow, some way, I’ll manage. They drew the numbers for the Mega Millions lottery last month. Since no one has won in months, the jackpot was worth over $1 billion. It just so happens, that in all those months of […]

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 […]

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 […]

Ready for the ‘Sitting Still in a Lounge Chair’ challenge

May 6, 2016 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan Northwest Asian Weekly The social network thing?  I’ve got it all worked out. From my observation, every single post on Facebook and Twitter can be categorized into three specific types. Videos showing how to make various recipes that involve at least one of three ingredients – butter, bacon, and Oreo cookies. Pictures […]
