We need Argentine navy.
唔該借过
I love Cantonese
>>56715275
Is 周黑鸭 a street food?
>>56715275
Any good recipe than I could make at home with only basic East Asian ingredients and tipical western ones?
我没吃过小笼包和北京烤鸭。
>>56715611
Egg and tomato
Leaving for Taiwan on Thursday and I have not planned a single thing 呵呵呵呵
>>56715878
How long will you be there for?
>>56715878
Before you leave Taiwan.
You can recommend me some cuisine in 夜市.
>>56715985
Two weeks, followed by a week in Korea and three days Guangzhou

Ty m8.
I will try em in someday.
>>56716090
>Stinky Tofu Fries
I remember smelling these things from half a street away when I was in China.
Are they any good?
>>56716453
I love them
And they don't taste stinky. Deep frying makes everything good
>>56715520
You know Cantonese?
>>56716090
I never actually tried stinky tofu before. Are the fries made out of potatos or tofu?
>>56716090
Nice. Have fun!
Found a lot of good street food places recently. Currently making my way to various kabob stands.
>>56717226
It's tofu strips :--)
>>56718100
Damn it I have so much food to try on my to-do list.
I need something easy to cook for my gf. She is from Guangzhou and always misses the food.
I'm already somewhat good at making baozi but I need something new which isn't too difficult. What would you guys make for yourself when you are abroad?
>>56718418
I've never made food while I'm abroad, and I'm not sure if Guangzhou people have the same comfort food we do, but some easy dishes to make would be steamed meat/fish, blanched/stir fried vegetables and a clear soup. What food does she like best?
>>56718418
Cola chicken wings (no joke)
t. Guy with GZ gf
>>56719291
Welp she actually loves these.
We haven't had this in a while so maybe I'll make them again.
>>56719192
She always tells me how she misses this.

But is pretty difficult and I need loads of stuff.
>>56719499
Oh I've never eaten that before. Does she like steamed minced pork with salted fish? Steamed eggs? My comfort food is on the bland side so it might not suit her tastes sorry. Cantonese people will always love soups though. Do you usually make soups?
Is this true that Chinese has no grammatical rules and you only need to know characters?
>>56719690
>Do you usually make soups?
I don't because I'm normally not that much of a soup fan but she does yes.
I'd also would try some of that steamed stuff you mentioned because I'd love to use my steamer for more than the baozi. Can you recommend a dish? (chinese name is ok I can search it)
five spice pork belly stew ( no idea what the name is) is nice too
>>56719890
It does have grammatical rules, but I couldn't tell you what they are
>>56719973
I recommend steamed grass carp belly. Just season it with soy sauce, ginger, spring onion and some oil. It's really simple but my mother used to make it for me as a toddler and it's one of my favourite foods.
For soup, carrot soup or salted egg and hairy gourd soup are pretty good.
Any chance you could get hold of some preserved sausages? Just throw one of each lap cheong, yun chang into the rice cooker and it'll make a dish as well as give the rice a really good flavour.
I forgot to mention that for blanched vegetables choi sum, gai lan and napa cabbage should be the most popular Cantonese staples. You can go simple with just oyster sauce on choi sum or gai lan, but you can make a soup dish of napa cabbage, cellophane noodles and dried prawns in chicken stock.
My english is a bit confusing but I hope that helps.

>>56719890
No, but it is understandable why you think that. Chinese grammar is very simple when compared to latin languages. For one, you don't need to worry about tenses. There are rules though.
>>56720746
Sorry I was thinking of a way to answer your question.
>>56720746
It does have grammatical rules they are just somewhat easier compared to other languages.
Things like sentence structure and particles are important.
>>56720667
Thank you I'll look into these.
>>56719890
There certainly are grammatical rules. At the beginner's level of Chinese, it's rather simple, though as you get into intermediate and advanced topics, the grammar does definitely get more complex.

日本人已不能書正則的古典漢文而、以是我得疏通我之意思与中華民。
雖現代朝鮮民族放棄漢文教育、甚多漢字残余於朝鮮社会。
我們可疏通意思以漢文与朝鮮・韓国平民?
>>56720850
Big thanks m8
>>56721071
Leave them alone.
>>56721071
maybe elderly can communicate with 漢文
but the most of the youth of today can't
Going to Hong Kong next year. Anything I should know?
>>56721071
I have heard there are movements in South Korea to reinstate hanja. I support it wholeheartedly. It is a disadvantage for Korean students to be unable to read about Korean history.
>>56721503
What do you want to know about?
>>56721580
Is it dangerous or expensive?
Is tap water safe to drink?
Will the street food kill my delicate Latino stomach?
Is it a good idea to buy raw food at a supermarket and cook it myself, or is eating out cheaper and more convenient?
>>56721529
sounds great.
漢字 is the great East Asian culture.
We can't speak Chinese nor Korean at all.
I can't write proper International Classical Chinese, maybe Chinese people can't neither.
even among such people, we can easily comunicate with 漢字
this is a great advantage.
>>56721767
Expensive yes, dangerous, no. We are one of the safest cities in the world.
Tap water is safe, but I am a clean freak and I boil it before drinking.
HK street food at stalls should be fine but I cannot guarantee the quality of cart hawkers. Sweet potatoes and quail eggs sold at carts should be fine.
It depends how many people you are cooking for. Are you staying for a long time? It is obviously cheaper to cook by yourself but HK has a lot of restaurants that may not be a lot more expensive than home cooking. Ingredients should be cheapest from a nearby wet market but supermarkets are sometimes even cheaper.
>>56721798
Yes hanzi binds east asia together like latin binds Europe together. I don't think Chinese people can write classical Chinese either. My knowledge of hanzi was very useful when learning Japanese. Can you understand parts of Chinese news like we understand parts of Japanese news?
>>56722099
I'm staying for 15 days, cooking for 2 people.
Thanks for your advice!
>>56722177
yes.
the biggest problem is the difference in the form of simplified characters
>>56722553
No problem I am happy to help. I will be here if you have any more questions.
>>56722580
That is a big issue too for China. If the central government do not wish to alienate Taiwan and HK even more they must readopt traditional characters. Although it may not seem important it is one of the obstacles that make improving cross-strait relations so difficult.
Chinese simplified characters are even more different from traditional characters than Japanese simplified characters. They preserve too little.
How does this general works?
Dont you guys hate each other?
>>56723179
yes, we hate each other of course
We believe flat chests are the best chests.
But evil Chinese communists love big breasts.
moron Koreans don't love breasts but butt.
This is the reason we have hated each other for 2000 years
>>56723482
holy shit japan is trying to be funny, someone screencap this rare sense of humor.
>>56723179
Personally I like hong kong and want to travel there someday
And about korea, yes I don't like that but their food is goat including the liquid read shit after eating.
>>56723179
It's actually a pretty comfy general, and trolls tend to be ignored.
>>56723710
got it
>>56723482
Awful taste desu. Real patricians prefer cute boys.
>>56723179
Most of our people hate each other. But people here are very friendly and celebrate our cultures. I dislike the Japanese government yet love Japan at the same time.
China stronk.
>>56723482
To be honest I prefer legs.

Good night.
Sorry for the trouble but 一路順風 if you don't mind could you list the country names in the OP? Like 中國 China (Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau). I just really miss that part. Thank you for always making the threads.
>>56725921
Sure. I'll do that in the next thread. I should probably add an FAQ as well for language learning resources and whatnot.
Good night. I better head to bed as well.

I doubt he's a real soldier, this seems like a cosplay event.
>>56727054
It is, I think.
