Customs on Eating Food in China and western countries is different. Chinese have a lot of ideas for cooking. They can cook a chicken in over ten ways. That's why Chinese food is so popular around the world. Western people prefer fast food like hamburgers and chips. They do not have many skills for cooking, mostly they only boil, steam( 蒸 ) and bake the food. By the way, western people are very good at making desserts and chocolate. In China, the person who invites other people for meal would pay for the meal. In western countries, people will think you only invite them but don't need to pay for them. They can afford it. In western countries like America, people will always give tips( 小费 ) to the waiter after they finish the meal in a restaurant. If you don't, the waiter will not be happy. In China, this ony hppeps in some top restaurants in large cities like Bejig. Another difference in eating is that, Chinese pople use chopsticks and western people use knives and forks.
