Alternate Fusion Cuisines

IOTL, there was some Chinese settlement in the US south and Mississippi delta. A TL with no immigration quotas for Chinese-Americans where you have a lot more Chinese immigrants to the south, cities that were Great Migration hubs, and to west coast Second Great Migration hubs might see some interesting Chinese-Southern fusion cuisine.
 
If Chinese labor was imported en masse to work the Mexican silver mines, like it was later in California's gold mines and railroads in OTL, you might get a Sino-Mexican cuisine.

It's not really part of a culinary tradition, debatably a fusion product, and isn't a thing in Mexico to my knowledge, but in and around Hong Kong there is a type of bun sold in bakeries called a Mexico bun. Its origin is from Chinese Mexicans who were deported by Obregon and Calles, who made and sold a bun with a cookie crust to emulate the conchas of Mexico using local ingredients. The result somewhat resembles the more well-known pineapple bun, an item which itself possibly traces its roots to the melon pan of Japan, where it was created by an Armenian pastry chef.

Speaking of deportations, could the White Russians in an alt-China create some sort of Russo-Chinese cuisine?
