This is not Chinese food. It doesn't have any Chinese elements.

I really, really wish for our Chinese friends to come to Pakistan and make VLOGs about what passes as Chinese food there.

Great or bad?

I think we have been shown an incorrect interpretation of Chinese food. In Pakistan, people associate it with high umami flavor (through MSG, oyster sauce, fish sauce etc.). Also, there is a limited selection of what is considered Chinese: chicken fried rice, chicken manchurian, hot and sour beef, chicken corn soup. There might be a few more I am missing, but there is not much variety. I asked my Chinese friends here and many of them haven't heard the names even. I just find the situation so hilarious, I think it would lead to much amusement if actual Chinese people did VLOGs on this.

I think its just a Chinese name of restaurant, but food seems delicious.

I think Chinese and Italian like less spicy food, while Pakistan, Indians, Bangladesh like much spicy food,
So, even they truly offer Italian and Chinese food, it will be different from China and Italy, it will be spicy with more Chili.

China consumes 40 million tons of pepper every year and 28 kg of pepper per capita every year.

This is a dinner for a Chinese family, 7 people, 5 adults and 2 children. Everyone eats chili, including children. Both children are less than 4 years old.

I'm sorry, there is wine in the picture. If I violate the regulations or make everyone unhappy, please tell me and I will delete the picture.

A lot of Chinese and Koreans eat extremely spicy noodles and these noodles are more spicy than vast majority of our food.

@IblinI @beijingwalker @Beast @MH.Yang 你好朋友 Am I correct in saying that a lot of you Chinese people eat these extremely spicy noodles?

Yes, you are right. Both Chinese and Koreans like chili very much. The Japanese seldom eat chili.

Indeed, many countries will create some inexplicable Chinese dishes. all of those are the type I've never seen before.
Every time I go to some so-called Chinese restaurants abroad, I doubt whether I am Chinese.
Later, I got used to it.
I gave up resistance.
my friend: hey, Yang, how about…
me: very authentic!

The proof is in the tasting.

The food looks fusion. There is some pasta which isn't typically Pakistani food (although they do make those wide noodles in Gilgit i think).

Korean are notorious for eating too much with red chili.
But Chinese still eat less spicy (with less red chilies+ masalah) than Indians Pakistanis,

You're wrong, We can eat chilli more than Koreans.
