FOOD IN ASIA

The general idea about chinese food you can find in Spain use to be: fast,cheap and not too much healthy food.

But I can see in China that I really don´t know the chinese gastronomy.


It exist a great culinary richness. The chinese philosophy it´s to find a balance of tastes , textures and colours in the same meal.
Its depends of the region, you can try different styles, spices, but in general its a very complete and healthy food. They don´t eat too much meat ( dog´s meat is not the common food as many people think), ,it´s most usual to find vegetables, soja, mushrooms, soups, fish, seafood and, of course, rice.
The tradition its to drink only tea during the meal, they don´t eat desserts and they don´t stay round the table when the food is finished.
The picture its a selection of some plates that I try during my travel last year.
I would like to know if it is the same in another places in asia.Tania,please, tell us how is the japanese food.
