Everyday I dream of the things I could eat, Vegtables, curries, maybe even meat. But Im so bleak, I cant speak, I'm in need, I cant read, Help me please, before I die I got the fried rice fever ohhhh my! Dear everybody, Eating in China is a constant hassle for me. My speaking and reading skills are horrible. I look at a Chinese menu with a blank face and wonder all the wonderful things I could be eating besides FRIED RICE. Can anyone give some suggestions. Just general food that most restraunts serve. Not friend noodles please. Kyle

Dear everybody,

Eating in China is a constant hassle for me. My speaking and reading skills are horrible. I look at a Chinese menu with a blank face and wonder all the wonderful things I could be eating besides FRIED RICE. Can anyone give some suggestions. Just general food that most restraunts serve. Not friend noodles please.

Hi Kyle
I know exactly what you mean so you'll have to learn a few.
My favourite filler's especially while travelling are

Egg and tomoato - Fan xie qiao ji dan

Dry fried string beans -- Gan bien si zhi dou

The greens from pease (in season) -Wan dou zhen

Potato chips like french fries -Gan bien tu dou si (zi)

or shredded potato lightly fried - tu dou si

Fish flavoured meat dish - Yu Xiang rou si

Cucumber in vinegar - Huang gua something ????

Green hollow stem veggie - Kong Cai

And you also may want to learn
NO CHILI - Bu yao la jiao
or a little chili - yi dianr la jiao (although this never seems to work for me)
NO MSG - bu yao wei jing

All this is pin yin phonetics so hope you are at least familiar with them.

Perhaps some of the locals can add to this, especially the other name for french fries.
