From our many travels to China, I would say I miss the food. The meals were great. I only wish we could have made every meal a Chinese Dish. But, when you don't have a guide, it gets complicated ordering. In Chengdu, we asked if the food was going to be spicy. The woman looked at us and smiled as she shook her head no. Well, it was very spicy. In Chengdu, they add Schezuan oil to everything.
Most of our meals, with the guide, were family style meals. She would order many meals and they would place them on a lazy Susan. We would pick a little of everything. One time I turned to her and asked what the dish was. It turned out to be Sweet and Sour Pork. It was not made like they make it at most restaurants in America.
Another meal I tried, had peanut and other things. In addition to the nuts, there were peppers. I would get them mixed up while I was chewing and have to reach for the soda or tea.
7-11 in China have steamed buns instead of hot dogs on rollers. They were a cheap eat that was worth it. Kayla found an affection for sushi at 7-11. When we returned home, she continued to eat it. She did not like Wasabi. She even got mad at us when we accidentally got chicken instead of fish.
If you ever travel to China, eat the food. You will see what it is supposed to taste like.
