I dont know how it can be called Curry.

I will eat a Chinese but its not the tastiest there is. Or should that be yhe Englist interpretation of Chinese food isnt.

I would love to goto China and eat their normal every day food.

Whenever you travel you get to eat the proper way foods made. Ive very rarely eaten food in restraunts etc here like its made in their own countries.

Even Pizzas are totally different in Italy

But Ive always thought Chinkies were a bit bland. Id much rather have a Thai or Indonesian.

Then I would love to invite you to come to China and I'll take you to taste the proper Chinese. Give Chinese cuisine a chance then you can draw your conclusion again ;)

I'd love to. But similarly I could visit India and would then redraw my conclusions again :lol: :lol:

No disrespect, 99.9% of Europeans' Chinese food is shite. Come to southern China and I'll take you to taste the best proper Chinese food, my bill. Peace.

I guess the opposite is true for most western food in Asia too tbh.

Haven't been to Southern China before, how different is it from Beijing and Tianjin? If I'm not wrong different regions have different styles and influences. I couldn't really adjust to the food in Tianjin but Beijing was more suitable for me.

Hmm, maybe many of you will disagree but imo the western food in Asia, especially those international cities like HongKong, Shanghai, Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore etc etc is definitely on par with the food at actual western countries, if not better. But it depends on which restaurant though. Asian treats food very seriously I have to say ;)

Yes, you're spot on, different regions have different styles of food and the difference could be dramatic. Since China is relatively massive and has so many provinces and cities and towns and villages, the variety of style of food is countless, as a Chinese I still haven't tasted them all, I doubt I could in my lifetime to be honest.

The Southern China's food I mentioned is mainly Cantonese food (I'm Cantonese and I can't say I'm familiar with all the food in Southern China so apologies for the confusion). It's completely different from Beijing's or Tianjing's. Cantonese cuisine is one of the most well-known styles among Chinese food around the world, for example the most common dishes like "beef with black bean sauce" and "sweet sour pork" are all Cantonese cuisines although we rarely eat them here, "dimsum" as well. Obviously I'm biased but from my experience in my lifetime, traveling around China, traveling around the world, Cantonese food is still my hands down winner, nothing comes close.

Sorry for my poor English and hope you can understand lol. Due to my limited English, I can explain the essence of Cantonese cuisine properly so it's better click on this Wikipedia link to have a better understanding of it, obviously only if you're interested in ;)

By the way, if you are a gastronome, HongKong will be an heaven.
