Food In ChinaBy: Travis Chen

STAPLE OF CHINESE DIET

Rice! ( 米 mǐ uncooked, 反 fǎn cooked) China is the top producer (94%) and consumer of rice.

Instead of saying “How are you?”, more typical greeting is “Have you had your rice today”

DRINKS

可口 可乐 - (kĕkŏu kĕlè)“Tasty soft drink” or“to be happy with the tasty”

百事可乐 – (bǎishì kělè)“everything is laughable”

山露水 – (shan lùs hui)translates exactly to Mountain Dew

OTHER DRINKS (CONTINUE)

Lychee DrinksSugar Cane JuiceTea

TYPICAL 　 BREAKFAST – RICE PORRIDGE 粥 (yù,zhōu)

Possible ingredients: Salty eggs, ground pork..

Typically for breakfast its just plain rice and water

In my opinion its the “Breakfast of champions” in China

Sometimes eaten as a snack
