Magic at the Millennium Harbodurview--by Pasta Magician Chef Dai Fan Kai.

The Millennium Harbourview Hotel's Loong Yuen restaurant not only serves up some of Xiamen's best Cantonese and vegetarian cuisine, but also one of the most amazing culinary displays in town.

Master of Pasta, Dai Fankai, has worked his amazing magic with pasta for 16 years. Friends could not believe what he was capable of, even when I showed them the videotapes I took.

Chef Dai shapes the dough, stretches it, twirls and slaps it--and then produces thick flat noodles, square noodles, triangular noodles (yep!), fat Japanese oudong noodles--even angel hair noodles thin enough to thread a needle (literally!) We watched him for a good 15 minutes, and then sat down to enjoy large steaming bowls of his artwork. Heavenly!

He'll create any kind of pasta you can think of, with any combination of sauces, meats, veggies, tofu, Chinese herbs...

If I could just learn a smidgeon of Chef Dai's techniques, I'd be rolling in dough. Fortunately, you don't have to be rolling in dough to enjoy his performance, or his food. So drop by the Xiamen Millennium Harbourview Hotel and check out the Cantonese Loong Yuen restaurant, and Chef Dai's magic pasta (the Millennium also has Portofino, my favorite Italian restaurant in Xiamen, as well as our island's best buffet breakfast, and an excellent Japanese chef).
