Chinese food through international students’ eyes
Chinese dishes are popular in New York, but they are different from those poplar in China.
In China, my friends and I can share many dishes in one meal. It’s a great way to try new things.
I really like the special food for different traditional Chinese festivals, such as mooncakes, jiaozi and zongzi.
I’ve been to Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou and Huangshan. Each city is famous for different dishes.

Highlights
Who created jiaozi?
A legend says jiaozi (Chinese dumplings) began with Zhang Zhongjing, a doctor in the Eastern Han dynasty. One winter, when he returned to his hometown, Zhang noticed that many people had frostbite on their ears. He wrapped meat and herbs in dough to make the shape of little ears, and then sent them to the villagers. These tasty dumplings warmed their bodies and helped them recover from their frostbite.
What does dim sum mean in Chinese?
Dim sum, the Cantonese pronunciation of dian xin (snacks), is a Chinese meal of
small dishes. People usually drink tea with them. In a restaurant, dim sum can mean “to order as one wishes”. Because dim sum is small, diners can order and try many different dishes in one meal.

It’s difficult to choose, but I think Beijing roast duck, Sichuan hot pot, and Kung Pao Chicken are the most popular with tourists.

It depends, but many people like Chinese pancakes, fried dough, soy milk and stuffed rice rolls.

You shouldn’t use your chopsticks to point at other people. That’s a basic one.
