12 Aug 2010 - For decades Chinese restaurants in Holland served the Dutch community with exotic foods, ranging from Fu Yung Hai to Tsap Choy. But now it is reported that many Chinese restaurants in the country are changing their menu into
Japanese, as the Dutch prefer Japanese over Chinese food. Japanese is in particular popular among the younger generations, as they like healthier food. The concept is simple: pay a fixed amount and eat as many sushis as you can. A representative from the restaurant sector said that in the last year at least 50 Chinese restaurants turned Japanese. Other Chinese restaurants turned into "deep fried (wok) food" restaurants, but most Dutch people quickly get bored with a choice between fried chicken, fried pork or fried beef. It was reported that about 90% of all Japanese restaurants in Holland are now managed by Chinese.

The Chinese food in UK, Holland... anywhere except in Chinese cities, Vancouver, Toronto... is really oily, with too much MSG, unhealthy.
I wonder why.
Thanks - it is a good question! Generally speaking, Chinese food is among the best in the world, so why do Europeans and Americans change its taste? My only explanation is because of $$$$$, as only oily food sells. And people do not seem too worried about their health.
