Chinese Cuisine
The overwhelmingly large variety mainly comes from the emperors hosting a banquet of 100 dishes each meal. A countless number of imperial kitchen staff and concubines were involved in the food preparation process. Over time, many dishes became part of the everyday-citizen culture. Some of the highest quality restaurants with recipes close to the dynastic periods include Fangshan restaurant in Beihai Park Beijing and the Oriole Pavilion. Arguably all branches of Hong Kong eastern style or even American Chinese food are in some ways rooted from the original dynastic cuisines.
Some of the common foods eaten at least once a meal in China is rice. If you were in every restruant, I can guarentee you, the menu has rice on it. They also serve some english dishes, such as T-Bone Steak.
Some popular, yet expensive dishes are Soy Sauce Chicken, (Gotta love those!) Roasted Pig, and Steaks.
Desserts such as Seasame Ball, Egg Custer, Rice Cake, and Chinese soup are big desserts over in China.
Some chinese soups have traditional Chinese medicine in them, and believe me, the medicine is not nice over there.
Mochi is also a favorite over in China.
There is alot more, and will be found and posted. I, have made up some of them because, I am Chinese and so is my mother, whose birthplace is China but moved to America to marry my father.
Seasame Balls taste good, try one sometime you are in San Fransisco in Chinatown!
You should have seen how many bowls of rice I have eaten in China!
