Calvin Eng, the owner of New York-based Cantonese-American restaurant Bonnie’s, isn’t shy about his love for monosodium glutamate.

Case in point – he has the letters “MSG” tattooed on his arm, and his restaurant’s menu includes a signature drink called the MSG Martini.

 

“Things just taste better with MSG, whether it’s Western food or Cantonese food,” the chef tells CNN.

“We use it in drinks. We use it in desserts. We use it in savory food. It’s in almost everything. Salt, sugar and MSG – I always joke that they’re the Chinese Trinity of seasonings.”

Use when appropriate, and an excellent flavor enhancer.

 

Misunderstood is an understatement, as I use it sparingly, since many food naturally already have it.

I eat a lot of MSG, just due to my love of soy sauce.

 

I NEVER tell the cooks in Thailand to go easy on MSG.

 

I leave the cooking to the cooks.

If I was you I would start taking proper medication.

Maybe then you would stop starting nonsensical topics or restarting old meaningless ones!
