Do you have any questions about China?

Why China say yao instead of yi for number 1 ?

Chinese friends. I have a question about your cuisine. In Sweden at least the most common type of chinese food in restaurants is the buffet type fried food I'm sure some of you are familiar with. Of course this must be something that's been adapted for western taste. I've always wanted to try real chinese food, taste the essence of China if one can put it that way.
What dishes do you recommend?

Ｔｈｅｒｅ　ａｒｅ　ｍａｙｂｅ　Tens of thousands of　Ｃhinese food．Major traditions include Anhui, Cantonese, Fujian, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong, Szechuan, and Zhejiang cuisines.

Ｉｆ　ｙｏｕ　ｌｉｋｅ　piquant，　choose Szechuan cuisine what the most popular in china.
If you like sweet,choose Jiangsu cuisine and Cantonese cuisine.

Shandong cuisine is the most famous cuisine in Beijing.

I do not think Chinese food is confined by a certain 'dish', like spaghetti bolognese, Yorkshire Puttin, American apple pie and etc```

like a very simple plate like egg fried rice tastes very different if it is cooked in China or other countries...if you want to experience the real deal, visiting China is the best way to do it```but if it is not fessible, you can always ask any Chinese friends (better to ask those students, not those Chinese who was born there) to bring you to the most 'authentic' Chinese restaurants in your area or country

yea, "辣子雞"(or "辣子雞丁", same meaning) is delicious if cooked by a good chef ( also very spicy/hot... )

its wiki :

Chicken with chilies (辣子雞, pinyin: Là Zǐ Jī; literally "Spicy chicken") is a well-known Sichuan-style Chinese dish. It consists of marinated, deep-fried pieces of chicken that are then stir-fried with garlic, ginger, and chile peppers. The chicken and chilies are served together and diners use chopsticks to pick out the pieces of chicken, leaving the chilies in the bowl.

sometimes, it served like this (we call it "searching chicken pieces in the chilies"...)

relax ... you know what I mean ...

the Douguo Recipe is mainly pictures uploaded by amateurs / not by commercial photographer

for example:

compared to "commercial photo" of western food :

for exmaple:

please don't posting those images because no one willing to eat those things

do not be condescending when you want making friends

and humility is a virtue

silly! that is not humility but ignorant childish western worshipping!

Even when the above pic comparing an "amateurish" photo with "commericial" photo the effect is much less than obvious!

这么幼稚的无理践踏，长他人志气灭自己威风！

well ... that's not a battle

like "文無第壹", some Chinese food are tasty AND some western food are tasty

when I was a university student in UK, I really love their traditional Roast Breaded Cod Fillet ...

This is no conflict between the two,

and different people may likes different tastes

so don't be that serious
