I am the chef that day. As we all know, Chinese are very famous for their hospitability. As the saying goes, "Is it not a delight after all to have friends come from afar ?" It tells the truth that Chinese are always trying to make their friends joyful when their friends come to visit them regardly of their shabby houses and bad living conditions. Thus, we tried our best to cook the typical Chinese dishes, which are fresh to the instructors.

While, in America to have authentic Chinese dishes means a luxurious thing. To be true, no persons can have a chance to taste authentic Chinese dishes although there are so many Chinese restaurants here and there. According to reports and investigation, most of the bosses and chef come from the south of China, especially Guangdong province and Fujian Province. The dishes form these chef are never enough to represent the flavor of Chinese. Thus, most Americans, especially those who have no chance to go to China, have mistaken the dishes of Chaozhou, a small in Guangdong province for the typical Chiese dishes.
In China, there are 8 schools of regional cuisines, including cuisines in Hunan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Sichuang, Zhejiang, Fujian and Anhui respectively, which always exhibit completely different sytles and traits. In South of China, rice is the main food, while in North of China is the cooked wheaten food. Both of them possess such a long history that no one can narrate clearly in a few words.
