1. Food Culture in China
Naoto's Diary
Last night I got to Shanghai and I went to a restaurant near my hotel for dinner.
Mapo tofu is my favorite food, so I wanted to try real Chinese mapo tofu.
I looked through the menu, but I couldn't find it.
"Where is the mapo tofu?" I asked the waiter.
He looked at me strangely and said, "Mapo tofu is Sichuan food.
This is a Shanghai food restaurant."
Wow!
That's so different!
In Japan, you can get mapo tofu at almost every Chinese restaurant.
Not in China!
