How is the diet in China different from that in western countries?

For example, Korean food is light, while Chinese food is often oily and salty, which makes him unaccustomed to eating. Many Koreans think that eating Chinese food at first will make them fat, because many dishes are covered with oil and taste a little greasy, whether in restaurants or school canteens.

2. The environment is noisy.

The dining environment in Chinese restaurants is mostly noisy, and many diners are yelling, just like fighting. In addition, many Chinese restaurants don't smoke, which makes it difficult to breathe. In contrast, in Korea, although everyone drinks and chats, they don't talk loudly. If they disturb others to eat, the store will come and warn them.

3. China is richer in ingredients.

China has a vast territory and a complex and diverse climate. Unlike some small countries, which have only one climate, there are abundant flora and fauna everywhere. There are many reasons for the rich flavor of Chinese food. For example, different climates in different places lead to sweet in the south, salty in the north, sour in the east and spicy in the west. Based on these dietary preferences, eight major cuisines such as Beijing cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine and Guangdong cuisine have gradually formed.

4, the taste is diverse.

The biggest feature of Chinese food is its diverse tastes. Even the same ingredients must taste different in different regions. China also has 28 cooking methods, such as stewing, stewing and stewing. People also season and side dishes according to the change of seasons, so the taste becomes richer.

5. Kitchen forms are different.

Compared with the common open kitchens abroad, most restaurants in China are closed kitchens, which are opaque in operation, and diners can't see the kitchen operation, and everyone's supervision is less, which provides space for illegal operation to some extent. There are a lot of people in the small restaurants on the street. When the guests at this table have finished eating, they will be connected to the next table. There is no time to clean up, so it is difficult to ensure a clean dining environment.
