They did the ordering and nothing looked remotely familiar. They asked what Chinese food I tried before coming to China, and I rattled off about a dozen dish names. They hadn&#8217;t heard of any of them. In my wallet I had written a few things in Chinese that I had tried and liked, as well as some I had copied off the internet. <\/p>\n<p>For instance, Sweet &#038; Sour Pork is \u5495\u5695\u8089. I showed them the food names from my wallet, but the only one the restaurant could do was Sweat &#038; Sour Pork, which you can see a small part of in the far left and front of the above photo. The Sweet &#038; Sour Pork was different though. No vegetables or pineapple were included, just pork and sauce. At this restaurant it was better than the \u5495\u5695\u8089 I ordered at my hotel, which was more like Sweet &#038; Sour Fat. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/P1120119trim.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/P1120119trim-800x550.jpg\" alt=\"squid octopus tenticles\" title=\"tentacles chinese food\" width=\"800\" height=\"550\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/P1120119trim-800x550.jpg 800w, https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/P1120119trim-250x171.jpg 250w, https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/P1120119trim.jpg 1163w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not a huge fan of tentacles, although I have recently come to love Chanpon (\u3061\u3083\u3093\u307d\u3093) which has its fair share.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My last post on authentic Chinese food was so popular that I&#8217;ll show you some more photos of real Chinese food&#8211;not the stuff you will find in Chinese restaurants in the USA or Japan.
