It can be said that in the eyes of westerners, Chinese food is much worse than Thai food and much worse than Vietnamese food. There are many people in China who are engaged in the catering industry abroad, but they are mainly aimed at China people. They have no ambition and consciousness, so they take the China route. Now Korea is engaged in Korean food culture abroad. Of course, Korean food is unpalatable and crude, but it dares to advocate and suppress Chinese food. However, although restaurants in China are everywhere in the west, it should be pointed out that their status and reputation are far less than those in French, Italian and Japanese restaurants.
From Kyle Poirot's description of missionaries, westerners have long understood the difference between Chinese food and western food, but unfortunately, the earliest and oldest experience of Chinese food was introduced by early immigrants from China. Basically, every owner who opened the earliest restaurant in China in the west was an immigrant around 1920. China's food is smoky, with poor hygiene, which has been repeatedly vilified in some countries. Many restaurants have a lot of condiments and monosodium glutamate, which is inconsistent with the light eating habits in the west.
Regarding the decoration, is there a tablecloth for the dining table? Is it pure cotton or chemical fiber? Are napkins and tableware printed with restaurant logo? Are the tables and chairs mass-produced or customized? Whether the primitive will affect the state of the restaurant. Catering is only one aspect of the contrast between Chinese and western cultures. Now China is more open to the world, and its strength is narrowing the distance between the world and China. How can we make others better understand the positive factors of China? We still have a lot to improve in China.
