🍜 Ordering food in China: Don't know the language but still eat deliciously, just remember these few words
Many people worry most when going to China is… entering a restaurant but can't read the menu 😅
Actually it's not difficult, it's just that if you order randomly, there's a high chance the dish will be spicier than expected.
👉 A few words you should save in your phone:
不辣 (bu la) → not spicy
微辣 (wei la) → mildly spicy (safe level)
少辣 (shao la) → less spicy
不要香菜 (bu yao xiang cai) → no cilantro
米饭 (mi fan) → white rice
热水 (re shui) → hot water
📍 Small tip:
In Sichuan or Chongqing, if you don't say anything, it defaults to spicy. Best just point to the character 微辣 before they press the order button, so you don't have to just drink water after eating 😭
Also, many restaurants have pictures of dishes, just point at the image + say the quantity and they understand. Shop owners are used to tourist customers so it's not difficult at all.
In summary, going to China doesn't require knowing much language, just save a few basic words and you'll survive the meals 😎
