I got involved witii the 'Maid' when I met David McFariane at a party in Sydney. He said he'd like me to do something for the Queensland Ught Opera Company, and we fmally hit upon the 'Maid'. It was a role I'd always wanted to sing, and since it hadn't been done for almost thirty years, we decided it was time for a revival. The Maid of the Mountains' was a revival of a musical in the old, grand style. There were critics who claimed, with justification, that the worit was tenibly dated. Yet the audiences ob­ viously loved it. Obviously there was an audience wanting to see these lovely old musicals. They don't mind if they're dated, providing they're done well, and lavishly. 1 think we're going to see a growing interest in bringing them back.

CHINESE CUISINE is divided into 3 main regional types: CANTONESE (SOUTHERN): is the type served in most local restaurants especially in USA and Australia, and is skillfully prepared to bring out the natural flavours of the foods. Most of these dishes are not meant to be very saltyor greasy and mainly consist of rice, vegetables, fish and meat (pork, beef) m that order of importance. Gwailo favourites are: Sweet & Sour Pork,-Chow MeIn, Chow Fan, Egg Fu Yung, Egg Rolls, Roast Suckling Pig. Also of note is the "Yum Cha" lunch. SHANGHAINESE (CENTRAL): is sweeter, saltier, and very much more oily than Cantonese food. Some outstanding dishes are Shanghai Crab and Empress Chicken, the latter being a thick stew. PEKINESE (NORTHERN): is generally salty and is noted for roasted fowl such as Peking Duck and also for Hot Pot dishes.

THE FOLLOWING CHINESE DISHES ARE from genuine fins, chicken retrieving.
