How Has Italian Cuisine Influenced Australia?

Answer 1

The original Chinese food in Australia began during the goldrushes, as some Chinese chose to establish Chinese cookshops, offering the Chinese mining community traditional Cantonese dishes based on fresh produce, fish, poultry, pork and rice. It is believed that the first Chinese restaurant to try to cater to Westerners was one opened by John Alloo on the Eureka Lead, Ballarat. Chinese cookshops continued to operate in the smaller towns, while the first Chinese restaurants in Melbourne began to appear from the 1880s. For more detailed information, check out the link below.

It wasn't until Asian people were being accepted into Australia after the Vietnam War that the influence of Chinese and other Asian cooking started to have a real impact on Australian cooking.
