Rank Asian cuisines by country

Yeah. It's annoying when people who have only had Chinese American takeout make generalizations about all Chinese food. It's like equating Italian cuisine with Pizza hut. But can't say I really blame them, because a lot of the poorer Chinese immigrants make and sell that crap because it sells.

One of my ex-gf's was from Tennessee and she only had greasy Chinese Am food because that was what was available in her town, so she wasn't really that into Chinese food, but when I took her to the authentic restaurants, it quickly became her favorite cuisine.

The Chinese immigrants here are from upper class families, and the Chinese restaurants here is much more authentic than in America. Authentic cuisines are always far more tastier than the westernized ones.

I do like the Chinese American takeout food once in a while, but I consider it fast food, like indulging in McDonalds. It's not healthy for you, but it can be tasty.

What kind of mongol food have you ever had? I don't think there is legit Mongol food in the US. If you are talking about Mongolian BBQ restaurants with those giant woks, those are all gimmicks run by Cantonese immigrants.

I dont remember. I only ate there a few times. They didnt look like regular cantonese people to me but you never know.

I had some mongol beef where they fry it for you and you can add vegetables, and theres a thing where you can make your own soup also and add different kinds of stuff to it. It was in virginia state.

I dont know if it was 100 % authentic but it was dam good.

I'm not a fan of oily stuffy. Authentic Chinese cuisine is very light for me.

Those are just Chinese people dude. LOL

Real Mongol food is like this, I've had it in Beijing.

Boiled lamb



Dumplings



Though Northern Chinese food has many elements greatly similar, but more flavorful and richer than Mongolian cuisine, because there aren't many vegetables or ingredients on the steppes. Same issue with Tibetan food, it isn't that great, because of the rough terrain.

Typical Beijing Hot Pot spread with sliced high quality beef and lamb

Do you eat at Chinese Muslim restaurants? Hui Muslim food is one of the most popular cuisines in China. It's as ubiquitous in every town in China as Chinese restaurants are in the US, meaning, they are everywhere.

I ate some Hui food in Dubai during the Eid festival. It's like when an Arab mates with an East-Asian woman, lol. Its very tasty.

If you ever go to China, make sure to go to the Moslem quarter in Xi'an, they have a huge street with nothing but halal food stalls, and it is usually very packed. You get to try all types of local Chinese Muslim specialties. The famous Xi'an mosque is located about 10 minutes from that street, it was built in the 7th century! It's almost as old as Islam itself, because it was the first mosque to be built when Muslim traders arrived at Chang'an (Xi'an's old name), the capital of the Tang Empire.

Wow I'd like to try some of those. Can you find it in Beijing too? Or Hong Kong?

Will do. I do wanna go to China one day. It seems to be a very majestic and strange place to me. I wonder how Mongolian food must be like? I imagine that a lot of them drink mare's milk or something. I want to see my nomadic east-Asian brethren, the Mongols and Manchurians, in northern China, rofl. Xinjiang has a cool desert environment as well.
