What shall i eat tonight?


One thing you get to learn quickly when you travel is "don't ask questions and eat!"... it even happens to be good sometimes!

Aside from the inconvienience of this type of menu, the hardest part about ordering food in chinese restaurants is that, chinese usually eat 4 or 5 bowls of different things together, so you're supposed to pick not one item from the menu but a bunch.. but then when you're alone you end up with way too much to eat!... this is all very confusing for a stranger like me!

Another thing to note is that when you ask for a glass of water (and you have to ask because apparently chinese never drink with their meals, except for soup or tea), they bring you a glass of hot water! Surprising at first but that's how it is.. in France it's room temperature, in the US it's crazy cold half frozen, and here it's hot! just got to know it!

I guess In this Chinese are right. Drinking water in between meals spoil Ur appetite and if you have to drink, its good to drink warm water it seems, Its my grand ma's funda..also happen to be scientific.
