Yesterday I had a lesson in Chinese about ordering in a restaurant. I'll be honest, I'm a complete dunce when it comes to food. Even in English I have trouble describing dishes and tastes, so trying to do it in Chinese is an Everest sized task for me. Anyway, I left the class with a list of Chinese food stuffs on my sheet of paper and as I sat down to go over the vocabulary today I was struck by a great idea: Google images!
Check it out. Just punch the word into google and you get the perfect idea of what you're looking up.
From the top we have:
粽子 zong4zi: a rice ball in a leaf
春卷 chun1juan3: spring rolls
馒头 man2tou: steamed bun
羊肉串 yang2rou4chuan4: lamb kebabs
粥 zhou1: congee
在香港我吃了真好吃的粥！
