Popular and Uncommon Ingredients in Chinese Cuisine– What the Chinese Eat

Choosing this experience

Chinese meals draw on different food forms, including rice, noodles, dumplings, soups and shared prepared dishes. These forms cross regional boundaries, so sorting food only by a city name can conceal the differences in portion and eating style.

Choose the food form that suits the moment: a bowl for a quick lunch, several shared dishes for a group or a snack tasting between walks. Ask how the portion is intended to be eaten before ordering, especially when combining familiar names from different parts of the menu.
