[quote=ICEBLUE,374854]Yea, I agree. Chinese eating foreign food is much more of showing face than enjoying the taste. "Face issue" is in essence a reflection of "vanity". Honestly, I admit we women are particularly vain. Last night, two friends invited me to dine out at a western food restaurant. Frankly, I don't like the taste of steak and cheese. When they asked me where we should dine out(Chinese restaurant or western food restaurant), despite my real desire is to eat Chinese noodles with distinct Chinese flavor, I still tell them to dine out a western food restaurant. It is just for sake of "showing face", because dining out at a western food restaurant is a fashion for young Chinese people of my generation. Though I don't like the taste of steak and the western food is much more expensive than Chinese food, I choose to dine out with my friends at the western food restaurant. Sigh, we Chinese do value "face"! I can't complain about it, because I am also addicted to it.[/quote]
