Beijing Olympics - Chinese Restaurant Experience

www.Kangernova.com Chopsticks may not be the only thing to get used to when sitting down to eat a meal in a traditional Chinese restaurant. There are new customs to learn and table manners that may at first seem strange to the Western observer. Food is typically ordered by one person at the table and served family style for all to enjoy. If your taste is for finer dining, then some of the city's more elegant venues can be found in the east and central districts of Chao Yang and Dong Cheng.
