Chinese Restaurants - South Africa

In this episode we journey to The Golden Dragon, started in 1947 by community activist Lam Al Ying. Golden Dragon is Cape Town's first Chinese restaurant. Ying's widow and his daughter now continue his legacy. Through the mother-daughter team we glimpse a country struggling to address the bitter injustices and betrayals of its apartheid past. Strangers in a strange land who kept to themselves, the divided Chinese community is only now shaking off its confusion to claim its place in the new South Africa.
