One of the major ethnic groups in Canada today is the Chinese community. Chinese origin is represented in Canada by around 1.8 million people (Gao, 2022). One of the most widely consumed cuisines in the nation is Chinese food. Chinese food in Canada has evolved because of numerous Chinese immigrants from various cohorts (Gao,2022).
Most of Canada’s Chinese community concentrated on the West Coast, where the firstChinese eateries were established. Chinese Canadians settled in various Canadian cities as they migrated from the Pacific to the East (Gao, 2022). They had a hard time getting work because of racism against Asians. As a substitute, many started eateries in the cities they now call home. Sing Tom established Toronto’s first Chinese café in1901. There were 19 Chinese eateries in the city by 1912 (Gao, 2022). These eateries were frequently frequented by white Canadians attracted by the reasonable costs and”exotic” food. Non-Chinese customers flocked to dishes like egg foo yong, essentiallyan omelette served over rice (Gao, 2022).
