Features: Dining out is like watching a play, with the menu being the "playbill." A feast like a "Full Han and Man Banquet" is like a grand play with all roles—sheng, dan, jing, mu, chou. It's great, but rare to encounter! "Extracted scenes" may not be as grand, but they are exquisite and captivating. A "Second Entry to the Palace" scene, even with just three people "singing" without action, can still be enjoyed by those who know how, leaving them spellbound and exhilarated! Similarly, those who know how to order dishes can select the finest from a thick menu, balancing hot and cold, meat and vegetables, and arranging them like a masterful creation. Even a simple dish and soup can be enjoyed with flair! Knowing how to order is an art! This book takes a practical approach, providing you with secrets such as "Where to Eat," "How to Order," "What to Order," "Which Dishes Are a Must-Try," "Key Points for Tasting," "Expert Tips," "Budget Advice," and "Health Warnings," as well as "Help You Order Two Tables" examples. It is very practical. The book is easy to follow, with illustrations to guide you. It features the best dishes from each cuisine, most of which are reasonably priced and worth trying. High-end dishes like bird's nest, shark fin, and abalone are not included.
