Amazon FB CHINESE MENU pages. - Easy to learn, quickest way to order your Chinese dinner. - via : africasiaeuro.com - guide to Chinese takeout menu on Amazon.com ( Chinese takeout Menu ) ---->> Laos coffee Those who are Chinese food aficionados, and those who lived in the East for a prolonged period agree : Chinese food is amazing. Each town, city, village has its own specialty.
Truly a challenge when it comes to tasting different dishes - especially in China. From my own perspective - and that of experts - Sampling of Chinese food is a life long experience. One will never complete the journey it seems. Thousands of dishes, from all regions, exotic styled, succulent flavored food will be available. As a result of my interest -and taste buds - I began to enjoy sampling of Chinese food many years ago. Let me show you some of the most popular dishes I have come across - by no means are these an indication of my personal taste.
 Traveling to to the east frequently I found it was not easy to explain a particular dish I wanted. It always took minutes to explain, even though I speak Chinese. I knew the dish - but did not know the right term. We were always short of words and explanations.
It goes without saying that a nice meal should be ended with a good cup of tea or coffee for that matter. Whilst in the past, many Chinese restaurants served Jasmin tea routinely, the also now offer a variety of other teas, such as Pu Er Tea which is only superseded by the exotic types of Kopie Luwak to give one example. On the whole - tea is a science and those who understand its significance will readily agree with me. Recently we spoke about tea which have a price tag of 5000 U.S.$ a pound. This is not uncommon really, in Taiwan 's ( Ali shan region ) tea normally costs just as much. Equally interesting I found this coffee page - you may find it awkward, but if people pay as much as 100 U.S.$ for a cup of coffee - then - something must be awkward about it. I will only say this much : It isn't for everyone. Check it for yourself : Come and check out more of our food on photoshelter. You can search our online Album --->>> HERE <<<---
It generally proved futile and we ended up ordering something we didn't know or didn't want to eat. Explain that to a waiter in Chinese, the dish you ordered wasn't the one we wanted.
Finally when in Shanghai - ( http://africasiaeuro.com/wordpress/?p=318 ) one day I came across a Pinyin menu (Chinese translation of Putonghua into English) which was hardly readable. In painstaking work I gathered all the dishes, with the help of my friend Ping ping. She assisted me and without her I would not have been able to complete the script.
It was frustrating. In the midst of all this, we saw people enjoying delicious
Chinese food, whilst we never got what we wanted. I decided to change all this, as I had suffered enough of deprivation. Years ago I started to collect names of dishes, learned how to pronounce them in Chinese, wrote the Pinyin and Chinese characters.
Again it was as tedious as can be. Each region has its own specific dishes and delicacies. Out of the thousands of dishes in Chinese cuisines, some are known all over the country. of I chose to select to compile.
I am not saying this book is the best. It simply contains what is essential for travel to the east, especially China. Dishes are named in English, Pinyin, and Putonghua. So it will be easier to explain to the waiter what you are looking for. Chinese cooking is published on FB and Kindle.
