Chinese Style

If the world really has a clear food map, then there must be no clear national boundaries. Overseas Chinese restaurants are visited by people from all over the world, speaking the same dialect as their hometown. The rice and salt contain memories, and the noodles and soup contain emotions. Chinese restaurants scattered all over the world are an extension of the hometown and a meeting point of the world. The combination of Chinese and Western cuisines blends the taste of the tongue, and the pace of Chinese cuisine has never stopped.
