Michael Chan is head of Caf� de Coral in Hong Kong - reported in Forbes magazine
MSG ANTIDOTE Chan even offers a solution to a basic problem for many consumers of Chinese food: the unpleasant side effects of monosodium glutamate (MSG). Caf� de Coral doesn't add MSG directly to its food, but it's sometimes included in the sauces and in ingredients from outside vendors. Chan himself can't stomach the stuff: "It's like caffeine to me: I stay up all night." Chan's unusual remedy: "Drink a teaspoon of salt dissolved in some Coca-Cola. It works."
