What's the difference between Chinese food and western food?

Generally speaking, Chinese food starts with cold dishes, followed by stir-fried dishes (hot dishes), main courses, various soups, with cakes/pasta in the middle, and finally fruits.

The first course is cold dishes, which are some appetizers. Cold dishes are usually served a few minutes before the banquet begins. After all the guests have arrived, you can inform the kitchen to start preparing for the stir-fry. After eating some cold dishes, you can gradually serve hot dishes. The speed of serving should be determined according to the speed of the guests. If the used guests eat faster, you can urge the kitchen to speed up serving, so as to avoid embarrassing scenes such as too many empty dishes and guests not having enough to eat.

In the process of serving Chinese food, we should also pay attention to the following points:

First, the serving speed should be fast, and the presentation form and taste of the dishes should be ensured to prevent the hot dishes from getting cold after waiting for too long, or some dishes, such as shredded sweet potatoes, will affect the taste of the dishes for too long.

Second, attention should be paid to the soup during serving to prevent the soup from overflowing and scalding. At the same time, we should pay attention to the soup with a lid in the casserole, ask in advance whether it is necessary to help the guests divide the dishes, and prepare soup bowls, saucers, spoons and other tableware in advance for the guests to use.

Third, there are teppanyaki or dishes that need alcohol heating. Be sure to stay away from the children and the elderly who accompany the meal, and beware of burns.
