[@ahnic1818]

When you asked the waiter what their most authentic Chinese food was and he couldn't respond (5:48) 😂😂 Western versions of Chinese food are totally valid though! They have to make food from home using foreign ingredients. The result was that Westerners started to expect those specific meals as part of that cuisine. It looked tasty, thanks for sharing!

It's so interesting how chinese cuisine has evolved globally. I grew up in Australia and I always ate chinese food from this restaurant near my house. Growing up I always thought it was 'westernised food', especially when more northern/ western Chinese restaurants started to come to Australia. However, I just moved to Hong Kong and the food here is identical to the chinese food that I grew up with! The owners must have come from Hong Kong! Now I'm living my dream, eating my childhood friday night treat every day hahaha.

[@user-jk5um1om8l]

Down to the different ‘waves’ of Chinese immigration, I think. The earliest were Cantonese or Fujianese or generally from the southern coastal regions so they became the pioneering/dominant regional cuisine in the West. Later immigrants came from more northerly and inland provinces and the food has changed accordingly. That’s my sense of it anyway!

[@uS0ra]

chinese food is just a really wide range, when i went back to china it was easier to find good burgers than good authentic cantonese food even though its in china

Emden was once a city-state under the protection of the Dutch after the Emden Revolution in 1595. It was annexed by Prussia in 1744. Emden is a part of the historical region of East Frisia, the region was historically home to Frisians. The Frisian languages are the closest living language group to the Anglic languages (English and Scots, not to be confused with Scottish Gaelic). Old English is quite similar to Old Frisian. The two groups make up the Anglo-Frisian languages group and together with the Low German dialects these form the North Sea Germanic languages. However, modern English and Frisian are not mutually intelligible due to hundreds of years of Dutch influence on Frisian. Chupa Chups was founded in Barcelona, Spain by Enric Bernat in 1958. The name of the brand comes from the Spanish verb chupar, meaning "to suck". The Chupa Chups logo was designed in 1969 by the surrealist artist Salvador Dalí. And for those who don't know, fortune cookies aren't Chinese, they're Japanese! In Edo-period Japan, cookies very similar to the modern fortune cookie were made called the 辻占煎餅/tsujiura senbei. They were made with miso and sesame, different than the modern ones. But like the modern ones, it had fortunes inside called tsujiura or omikuji. It switched to a Chinese-American staple during WWII because of Japanese internment which gave an opportunity for Chinese manufacturers to pick it up.

[@zahra9890]

I'm Dutch, and we have restaurants called 'wokrestaurants' very similar to this. the sushi, the chocolate fountain, the fried goods. only big difference which makes it even more unique is that they add two (or 3?) more kitchens to the equation: indonesian (javanese, molukkan) and surinamese which is a mix of indian foods, west african foods and Chinese foods. so next to the fake Chinese food and Japanese food you will find things like Chinese style nasi goreng and babi pangang, krupuk chips, lumpia and sometimes even Surinamese roti.

As a Chinese and lived in Germany for a bit over 10 years, I use to own a restaurant like these. They called Chinesisch Mongolisch restaurant there. Because at evening buffet they have a tippan grill which they charge a bit more, with larger selection of food. Funny thing about the kids price is in the pas we (most restaurant) charge kids until age 12. 13 and above its adult price so allot of parents use to ly about their kids age. So later we adapt to charge a price per age.

I am an Aussie living in Germany... getting 'real' Chinese food has been a challenge over the years. Example: First time I went with a large group of Germans to a Chinese restaurant... we thought everybody was ordering a dish to share (as you do) - but indeed we ended up with 10 orders of Duck in Sweet n Sour sauce... and the two dishes we ordered!!! BTW Emden is super cute!

[@KC2761-d5x]

I used to work in an Asian fusion restaurant in the Netherlands right on the border with Germany and whenever a table ordered a lot of duck the kitchen would immediately know the table was German. Also, Chinese buffets here tend to be similar as in Germany except they will usually have a raw foods section that you hand over to a wok chef or a teppanyaki chef. The food usually is more on the salty side because it makes you drink more and usually the all you can eat price only includes the food, so drinks is what they make the most money on

[@cfwin1776]

I went to Berlin from the US on business about six years ago. I had very good Chinese food at the food court on the top floor of the Berlin mall. They were much better than average American Chinese food.

The major problem of Western Chinese food is, whatever ingredients they use, they always in the same flavor: sweet and sour 😅

[@thislifeisconfusing]

A few years ago I went to a Chinese restaurant in a very touristic area in a Greek city and it was hilarious. All four of us got a different dish but they were 99% exactly the same 😂 but one person would have peanuts as garnish, the other would have sesame as garnish. Literally all those dishes were the same but with a little different garnish. It was still edible though so…

[@catinabox3048]

Exactly! Plus, all the meat is deep fried and covered with thick sauce. I'm not sure where most "Western Chinese food" comes from. Where I live near San Francisco, I think the Chinese food is just very influenced by the fact there's a deep-rooted hisotyr of immigration from Cantonese-speaking regions of China, where they like their things sweet. Southern-based foods are also commonly thought to be more marketable and presentable than northern foods, so it feels like the Chinese food here doesn't even remotely resemble the food we get at home. To be fair, we have plenty of restaurants that I presume are authentic, but rarely one that focuses on northern Chinese cuisine. We've found a couple of dumpling houses, and that's it.

[@theotheleo6830]

@@thislifeisconfusing eatable?

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Ah yes, samosas, Chupa Chups, cheesecake, sangria, sushi, fried calamari....quite the authentic Chinese experience 😂. Like, are they trying to stuff the whole UN into this Chinese-German buffet lol? But I don't blame Germans for loving their buffets! Reminds me of the Pennsylvania Dutch buffets around Lancaster County in Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Dutch mostly descend from the Palatinate region of Germany (though the Amish came from Switzerland), and settled in Pennsylvania during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The Pennsylvania Dutch were the ones that introduced funnel cake to the US, they brought drechderkuche to the US around 1879, developed a baking powder version, and this became funnel cake! The ironic thing about the Tsingtao Beer being at this buffet is that it was founded when the Germans had the Kiautschou Bay Leased Territory, so even that is not the most Chinese thing at this buffet since it's just Germans enjoying their Chinese legacy! And yeah, Asian restaurants in Europe and the Americas are more on the fusion side. Like on the East Coast of the US, Japanese sushi and hibachi restaurants are mostly owned by Chinese and Korean-Americans because most Japanese-Americans live just on the West Coast and for Chinese-Americans, there is a lot of competition between Chinese restaurants so families have opted for sushi and hibachi to charge for high-quality.

its totally true that chinese restuarants adapts to the enviroment its in. here in the netherlands historically it was usually chinese-indonesian, because we have a large group of indonesian immigrants or indos (dutch indonesian descendants from the dutch indies times) so either it was chinese immigrants embracing the asian culture the dutch were already used to, or chinese-indonesian families already having a mixed culture. it was neither truly indonesian or truly chinese, so it was always a little bit different from what i was used to from my own indonesian family. (my dad once told me that he could always ask the owner of a chinese resturant for a real dish, and he would get something more authentic than what the resturant actually served) nowadays more and more authentic places pop up, but they are mostly concentrated in the bigger cities...

[@Arcadian-Nova]

my own personally funny stories is from a few years back when i studied in a city with a smaller immigrant population than my own hometown. the first story is from the time that i made klepon for a little class get together, which are little glutinous rice balls filled with palm sugar and rolled in grated coconut, but they are also GREEN bc they are flavoured with pandan, which is one of my favourite flavours, but it was probably a bit too..... "exotic" for my classmates who werent really used to that AT ALL. only me and one of my teacher ate them with the same class i also went to a wok resturant in that city, which everyone quite enjoyed but i never had any asian food so "un-asian" before, so i just went to get some chips afterwards.

Also the Peanut sauce is a influence from the Netherlands, no other Chinese restaurant in Europe would serve this except Yea the Netherlands, Parts of Germany and also parts of Belgium.

I have to definitely point out that there are also Chinese restaurants that do it differently. for example I live in Munich and in the (I guess you could call it ) suburbs of the town, there is a Chinese restaurant called Long, which does not have an all you can eat buffet, but it does have authentic Chinese food and What goes for Chinese food in Germany. they even make a distinction between them by having them either in different sections of the menu or in different menu books altogether.so if you’re going to a Chinese restaurant because you want that Westernised version of Chinese food , they have that tasting very good, but if you want some authentic Chinese food from the area they come from ( I unfortunately always forget which one that is) they also have that. Though I do know that all over Germany, you will find restaurants like that. The all you can eat Chinese ones I’ve been to , are at least trying to be a little bit more authentic than the one you went to, although I am quite certain especially after watching your videos that they just look and sound more authentic than the ones you had in this restaurant. At least they don’t offer sangria and fried calamari . If you’re ever back in close proximity to uni, do give me a shout out, I would very much love to show you my favourite Chinese restaurant
