"The serving order of Chinese food"

Appetizers are usually a large platter consisting of four kinds of cold cuts. Sometimes there are as many as ten species. The most representative ones are cold jellyfish skin, preserved eggs, etc.

Sometimes after the cold dishes, there are four kinds of hot dishes. Common ones are fried shrimp, fried chicken, etc. However, the hot plates are mostly omitted.

The main course, immediately after the appetizer, is also called the main course or the main course, and more than appropriate dishes are actually served on the table. If there is "eight major items" marked on the menu, it means there are eight main courses.

The number of main courses is usually an even number such as four, six, eight, etc., because the Chinese believe that even numbers are lucky. At a luxurious banquet, there are sometimes as many as sixteen or thirty-two main courses, but usually there are six to twelve.

These dishes are made by using different materials, combining the five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, and using various cooking methods such as frying, steaming, boiling, pan-frying, roasting and stir-frying. The order of dishes is mostly based on the alternating combination of light and rich flavors, or the combination of dry roasting and soup. It usually ends with soup.

Snacks refer to the desserts served after the main course, such as pies, cakes, steamed buns, almond tofu, etc. Finally, there is fruit.
