Golden Harvest serves real Hong Kong cuisine THE ENVOY CAFE Casual Dining DAILY LUNCH & DINNER SPECIALS help some of the churches rebuild; this week, Jewish groups were considering helping with that fund drive. "Many of our congregations around the country are already participating in the effort to raise money for the rebuilding of these churches," said Rabbi David Saperstein, director of the Reli- gious Action Center of Reform Ju- daism. "And we're working closely with congregations near these communities to forge ongoing mechanisms of support and co- operation." LIw x TERTAINME Wed. & Thur. Starting at 6:30, Fri. & Sat.

The recent election of Mr. Ne- tanyahu has generated worries about the surge in business de- velopment activity throughout the region. But those concerns did not put a damper on a conference in Washington that brought to- gether more than 80 business people to discuss what planners hope will be a continuing eco- nomic renaissance in Israel, the Palestinian self-rule area and Arab nations that have joined in the move toward peace. Participants included the PLO's representative in Wash- ington, Alasan Abdel Rahman, Col- lette Avital, Israel's counsel-gen- eral in New York, and a handful of political leaders. Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., a major figure in congressional Middle East policy-making, told the group that it is important to give the Netanyahu government a chance to work out its approach to the Middle East peace talks; Mr. Rahman agreed with that assessment. Planners of the event pre- sented the Ron Brown Peace through Commerce award to three pioneers in the regional economic boom: Ziad Karram, a Palestinian-American who has - put together a group that will build a $62 million Marriott Ho- tel in Gaza; Culligan Water Technologies, which is building a water purification plant in Jeri- cho; and General Motors and its Israeli partner, Universal Mo- tors. "Some people believe you have to do things sequentially — fin- ish the political agenda before you can make economic progress," said Jeff Kahn, a com- munications consultant and one of the planners of this weeks con- ference. "We suggest something else: economic development can contribute significantly to diplo- matic progress." That dynamic, he said, is es- pecially important in the Middle East, where burgeoning eco- nomic cooperation eventually may overcome enduring political animosities. 0 The Golden Harvest is a Chinese restaurant for people who won't be put off when they spot the eel tank where the snake-like creatures slither around awaiting their fate. Or who aren't taken aback when a cook in splattered apron comes out of the kitchen to net a lobster from another tank (there are four) and plop it into a pan. It's for people unconcerned that napkins are paper and the table- ware serviceable at best, under bright lights in a room with virtu- ally no "atmosphere," if by atmosphere we mean dangling lanterns and paper parasols. It's for those who want an authentic Chinese food experience. Anyone who wanders into the place thinking it's just another almond chicken emporium is going to get a surprise. Let me quickly add: They do serve almond chicken, simply for survival, because it's a fact that some non-Asians cling to dishes like this that they have come to know as "Chinese," and order them even when more interesting stuff is available. But the real premise is the place is Hong Kong-style cooking done by chefs who arrived here from that city via New York. Head chef Lau Qiang Wei, dim sum chefs Hing Tim Cheung and Xi Hua Zhang and proprietor Mi Chu Zhang do not speak English. For- tunately for them, manager Tony Chen does the interpreting when needed.
