There are the following aspects:
1. Speaking of ordering food, the menu of western food is mostly one page, at most, including drinks and desserts. The better the restaurant, the shorter the menu, just like western culture, which is rich but highly concentrated. Chinese food, on the other hand, is different. Generally, the menu is very long and there are many choices. Ordering food has become a difficult thing, and it is a variety of integration. The richness of Chinese food is manifested in its diversity. There is no necessary connection between the front and back dishes of Chinese food, and there is no necessary connection between food and drinks. It is very similar to China's pluralistic cultural concept, and its basic characteristics are diversity, tolerance, assimilation and serving our needs.
2. Western food means that everyone orders their own dishes, while Chinese food means that the host orders all the dishes and everyone just eats them. Both have their own advantages. Ordering by yourself is more respectful of personal choice, and you are responsible for ordering by yourself, but the choice is single and it is not so lively, but it shows the independence of individuals in western culture. In China culture, however, more attention is paid to the whole. People who order food to satisfy different tastes may be praised or criticized.
3. How to eat Chinese and western food is different at the dining table, and it is also very different in the kitchen. The kitchen of western food is more like a standard chemical plant, which has many standard equipments, a lot of measurement, temperature and time control, and the kitchen is also designed according to the process, with strict requirements on the style and color of the products.
The kitchen of Chinese food _ is very different. When you push the door in, the flames are soaring, and a row of chefs are sweating, and several rows of spices are placed. However, whether the final product is delicious depends on how to master the spoon in the chef's hand. Therefore, it is difficult to unify the standards of Chinese food, and more often it depends on the chef's personal skills, otherwise it is not Chinese food. This may be the same as many things in China culture can only be accomplished by someone's behavior.
