The "German - Chinese restaurant" Last Friday I was at a "German - Chinese restaurant" in Berlin. There are many "German - Chinese restaurant" in Germany. Many people like the "Chinese Food" in Germany and it is very popular to go in this kind of restaurants. You're going to ask why I write this in quotation marks... I'll tell you. First the and the main reason: In 95% of these "German - Chinese Restaurants" it is impossible to order a authentic Chinese meal! Unfortunately, everything is highly adapted to European tastes. The problem is, if they don't do it like this, nearly no German citizen visits this restaurant! The result: nearly every dish swims in oil... It is horrible! The second reason: A Chinese restaurant with real Chinese owner is very rare in Berlin. A lot of the Chinese restaurants are led by Vietnamese guys. Probably they can cook some delicious Vietnamese dishes but please, do not try to copy a Chinese dish! Open a original Vietnamese restaurant! That would be better... But back to my meal in the restaurant "China House". I like this restaurant! It s one of the better restaurants! The food there is delicious but definitely also not authentic Chinese. Nevertheless, I like to go out there. A big advantage of this restaurant is that the owner and his wife come from 浙江. This time I ordered a dish named: "Happy Pig" I think, it can be best described as 回锅肉 (Twice cooked pork). I think every Chinese expect a spicy hot dish if he hears "回锅肉". And really! On the menu is a small print behind the dish "sehr scharf" this means "very hot". So, I expected a Sichuan-style Chinese dish what explodes on your tongue! Nope! Forgot it! I don't understand why they write it on the menu if it is not hot. In addition, I expect cabbage and sweet pepper in these dish. The second misapprehension. In a "German - Chinese restaurant" is almost the same vegetable in every dish... Bamboo shoots, bean sprouts (surprisingly not in this case), onions, spring onions and if you are lucky a few piece of sweet pepper, courgette, or egg plant. The cheaper the vegetables, the more is in the dish. In this case I see two pieces of red sweet pepper and a lot of Bamboo shoots from a can. But I will not complain! Although the guests are cheated, it tastes quite good. It's just a pity that most of Germans do not know how delicious a real Chinese meal tastes!
