Features: Dining out is like watching a play, with the menu being the "playbill." A "Full Han and Man Banquet" feast is like a grand play with all the roles—sheng, dan, jing, mu, chou. It's great, but rare! "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 to appreciate it, leaving them spellbound and thoroughly satisfied! The same goes for those who know how to order dishes. They can select the finest from a thick menu, balancing hot and cold, meat and vegetables, and arranging them like a masterful banquet! Even a simple dish and soup can be made delicious! 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," "Spending Advice," and "Health Warnings," as well as "Help You Order Two Tables" examples. It is very practical. Reading is also easy—just follow the illustrations. The book 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.
