Activity 4
Tingting:I recommend the steamed fish head covered with chillies. I know fish head may sound strange, but the meat is quite tender and there are very few small bones, so everyone loves it.
Lisa:OK. And what's this here: dry pot duck with golden buns?
Tingting:It's duck stir-fried with garlic, ginger, and black bean paste, and it has some bread with it. It's quite good, but I suggest the bridge tofu instead, as it has a lighter taste.
Lisa:Yes, let's order that.
Tingting:Now, what else would you like to eat, Lisa.
Lisa:I’m really hungry for some pork.
Tingting:Well, then you should have the red braised pork. It's the most famous Hunan dish.
Anna:Why is that?
Tingting:Well, Chairman Mao was from Hunan, and this was his favourite food.
Anna:Oh, that's interesting. Let's have that then.
Tingting:So, we're ready to order? waitress!
