    this dish was created in america, so most ppl outside of the country might never heard of it. so it's one of many chinese food created to please american taste.

    basically...pour the coffee into a pan, add some sugar/honey/anything sweet to balance the bitterness, cook it, simmer it, add some corn starch if needed, yeah. Just make it sticky.

    i hope it works... xDD

    yea there is no real general tao that they named it after

    it's american chinese food

    basically americanized chinese food to please the white folks

    it's alright, nothing special though

    This dish is totally depend on the quality of the sauce served with it. Too thin and runny - no good. Too sweet and thick - better. But a reasonably thick sauce that isn't too sweet will make the dish a great tasting experience!!

    Unfortunately, in the U.S. less than 10% of Chinese restaurants seem capable of doing it right, in my opinion anyway...
