Can you remember a restaurant meal you ate? (Beijing restaurant)

In Beijing, a friend I hadn't met yet invited me to go eat with him in a Beijing restaurant. It is quite common in China to take a new friend to a restaurant. It was a fairly decent restaurant, by Chinese standards. Anyway, it had not been necessary to reserve a table, because it was still early in the evening. There is no classical splitting up of the meal into starters, main course and dessert in China, but and instead the waitress usually serves all the dishes at the same time. My friend asked me wheather or not there was something he shouldn't order for me (I think that's what you mean). I refused (refused his orders?), because I had no idea if that I would find myself been being served cooked goose-heads. With the meal we drank tea or and hot water, but no alcoholic drinks like aperitif or rosé. If Chinese drink alcohol with their meal, they prefer clear spirits, which isare really rather special and famous in China. Unfortunately you get drunk easily this way, sincebecause the alcoholic strength (or content) is high.

I'm kind of nitpicking, and honestly some of my corrections aren't really that necessary for coherence.
