CHAPTER X I
Chinese 3 wise men are
Sue, Yuen and Zong
This fancy restaurant has 2 stores. Waiters are Chinese, but the chef is a Cuban man: Ismael Navarro. They all are very kind, and smiling people.
Their specialities are pizzas, lasagne and beautiful salads. The price of “Tres Chinitos”´s bigger pizza is 4.00 CUC, with red peppers, mushrooms, black olives and onions, it is unbeatable.
On the Menu the following is printed : ¨
“Chinese pasta is very old. It appears in B.C. Chinese writings. Italian pasta, is only a consequence of Chinese pasta. History demontrated it through Marco Polo, the great traveller of Venice, who brought this formula from China to Europe..”
“Tres Chinitos “ adress in Centro Cuba : Calle Dragones 355-357 – Entre Calle Manríquez y Calle San Nicolás. Tel.: 863 3388
The rest of Chinese Town has desapeared because of political reasos, there are no more chinese peopple, nor chinese commerce...
We went and came back to the chinese area by a “Coco Taxi”, a yellow, and with a coco nut shape bicycle.. Cheap for cuban people , expensive for touriss. So, to pay less, I keept absolutly silent, not to be discovered I wasn´t a cuban woman !!!
