3.0

I read this book because I am a fan of the Fresh of the Boat TV show (and Baohaus). The show diverged greatly from Huang's actual life. It basically took the the general premise of his life ans then went its own way.

Huang's life has been interesting and the writing style also makes this book easy to read. I especially enjoyed Eddie talking about his family and childhood early in the book. The second half of the book — minus the single recipe — was less enjoyable for me. Huang comes off smug and I found him off-putting. But overall this was still a good read.
