罗朗的英文名字是Michael D. Rosenblum,人们都叫他Michael,他的中文名字叫罗朗,来源于他的姓Rosenblum中的“Ro”和“lum”。目前他在广州开了一家中餐厅,餐厅取名“朗泮轩”,“朗”代表他自己,“泮”是水边的意思,按照中国的哲学,罗朗命运中缺“水”,他相信为餐厅取这个名字,会给他带来好运。
Michael D. Rosenblum, known to everyone as Michael, has a Chinese name, Luo Lang, which is derived from the “Ro” and “lum” in his surname, Rosenblum. He currently owns a Chinese restaurant in Guangzhou named “Lang Pan Xuan,” where “Lang” represents himself, and “Pan” means by the water. According to Chinese philosophy, Luo Lang believes that he lacks “water” in his destiny, and he is confident that naming his restaurant this way will bring him good fortune.
Luo Lang is passionate about all things related to Chinese culture. Lang Pan Xuan is filled with a variety of teas from all over China, allowing visitors to enjoy an afternoon tea that encompasses the flavors of the entire country. He treasures Chinese antique furniture, using it as tables and chairs in his restaurant. The utensils that guests use at Lang Pan Xuan could be hundreds or even thousands of years old, all imbued with artistic beauty. When you arrive at Lang Pan Xuan, you are encouraged to slow down, quiet your mind, and engage in a dialogue with history, culture, and food, rather than just eating a meal.
Luo Lang’s love for Chinese culture and cuisine is related to his life experiences. As a child, he was bullied at school, and his father suggested he learn Chinese martial arts to defend himself. He became instantly fascinated. It was while practicing martial arts that he first tasted Chinese tea, and he has been hooked ever since. At the age of 14, he began working at a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, New York, and after being exposed to Chinese cuisine, he decided to study Chinese and various culinary arts in Shanghai as soon as he graduated from high school.
Luo Lang has worked at the American embassy, top hotels, and themed restaurants, but creating soulful dishes and running a Chinese restaurant with his own style is what he truly desires. How does one create soulful dishes? Luo Lang decided to learn from the common people across China, and in 2010, he embarked on a journey throughout the country. He visited many places and learned traditional culinary skills from local masters. On one occasion, to learn how to make a particular dish, he stood outside a restaurant every day for a month. His sincerity eventually moved the owner, and he was taught the technique to make this dish.
If you do not understand Luo Lang, you may not truly appreciate his dishes, as each of his creations has a story, his thoughts, and emotions behind it. One year, Luo Lang cycled to Lanzhou and Qinghai, then took a train to Xinjiang, standing for over 40 hours on the train to reach the city he longed for – Kashgar. Unfortunately, upon arriving in Kashgar in the evening, tired and hungry, he found that all the restaurants were closed due to a local fast. Eventually, a local family invited him to dinner, which consisted of lamb skewers, hand-grabbed rice, nang (a type of bread), and yogurt. Based on the meal he had that night, Luo Lang created a dish called “Kashgar Night,” infusing it with genuine emotion. How could such a dish not be delicious?
