Chinese, Indian, Japanese restaurants and so on. A good restaurant is usually big and clean.

( D )Customs on Eating

Food in China and western countries is different. China has about five thousand years’ history. Chinese people may spend half of their time on food. They choose food very carefully. They only use fresh materials to make food. For example, they only eat fresh fish. Chinese people have a lot of ideas for cooking. They can cook a chicken in over ten ways.   36   Western countries, like England or America, don’t have fresh food because they buy their food from supermarkets. They only sell stored materials.  37   They are unhealthy for people’s body. Western people are very good at making desserts and chocolates. They can make very good cakes and chocolates.   38 

In China, when people invite others for a meal, they would pay for the meal, but it’s not the same way in western countries.   39   They won’t be happy if you pay for them.

Another difference in eating is that:   40 

Chinese people only have three meals in a day. But western people may have more. They usually have afternoon tea when they would have fruit or cakes with cheese.
