For example, Korean food is light, while Chinese food is often oily and salty, which makes him unaccustomed to eating. Many Koreans think they will gain weight when they first start eating Chinese food, because many dishes are covered with oil and taste a little greasy, whether in restaurants or school canteens.

2. The environment is noisy.

The dining environment in Chinese restaurants is mostly noisy, and many diners are yelling, just like fighting. In addition, many Chinese restaurants don't smoke, which makes people breathe hard. In contrast, in South Korea, although everyone drinks and chats, they don't talk loudly. If they disturb others' meals, the store will come and warn them.

3. China is richer in ingredients.

China has a vast territory and a complex and diverse climate. Unlike some small countries, there is only one climate, so there are abundant animal and plant ingredients everywhere. A variety of reasons have created the rich taste of Chinese dishes. For example, different climates in different places lead to sweet in the south, salty in the north, sour in the east and spicy in the west. Based on these dietary preferences, eight major cuisines such as Beijing cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine and Guangdong cuisine have gradually formed.

4, the taste is diverse.

The biggest feature of Chinese food is its diverse tastes. Even the same ingredients must taste different in different regions. China also has 28 cooking methods, such as stewing, stewing and stewing. People also season and side dishes according to the seasonal changes, so the taste becomes richer.

5. The kitchen forms are different.

Compared with the common open kitchens in foreign countries, most restaurants in China are closed kitchens, and the operation is opaque, so diners can't see the kitchen operation, and there is less supervision from everyone, which provides space for illegal operation to some extent. The small restaurant on the street has a large flow of people. When the guests at this table finish eating, they will be connected to the next table. It is too late to clean up, so it is difficult to ensure a clean dining environment.
