      I don’t think it’s superiority, it’s more fear based I think. Most western food you can tell what it is, but most Asian food you can’t always tell what it is straightaway and there it creates a fear of the unknown. Would it taste horrible? Is it going to kill me? What’s in it? They’ve never seen it before and they are not always adventurous enough to try things, just like some Chinese people don’t like Western cuisine. It’s difficult making that first step, especially the slightly older generation. Sometimes if they just allowed themselves to be a bit more brave and open minded, they may find things they really like, like Stuart’s parents. : )

    Firstly, the robot part of the food court is incredible and definitely one-ups Tokyo
    Secondly, exactly! There are Western athletes who love the food. So those who say the food is bad just have a different palate when it comes to cravings. One of the things parents teach their kids is to try new things. Well, if you give cuisines a chance and warm up to it, you might just enjoy it too

    直接吃皮蛋的话,你应该蘸一点醋,因为皮蛋是弱碱性,醋可以中和,然后你会感觉到皮蛋的鲜味,当然,你也可把皮蛋切片然后用辣椒油、酱油、醋、切碎的青椒等拌匀食用,会有不同的风味。
    If you eat preserved eggs directly, you should dip a little vinegar, because preserved eggs are weakly alkaline and vinegar can be neutralized, and then you will feel the freshness of preserved eggs. Of course, you can also slice preserved eggs and mix them with chili oil, soy sauce, vinegar, chopped green pepper, etc., which will have different flavors.

      pidan is quite often eaten uncooked, either cut into wedges or cubed, served by itself with granulated sugar with a side of slicked pickled ginger, or mixed with pickled toon shoots(香椿頭) and tofu with a sprinkle of salt and a drizzle of sesame oil. this is commonplace from Hong Kong to Chiuchow to the Jiangnan region. pidan added to lean pork and congee is added right at the end after fire is off. it is only heated by the congee's residual heat, never cooked. cooked pidan is usually in "gold and silver egg with vegetables" which is a very watery dish of blanched leafy greens with diced pidan and salted duck eggs.
      what province uses pidan in stir-fry? is it Fuzhou cuisine? or maybe Changsha cuisine? i want to try that.

      Where are you from? Pidan tofu is a very popular dish and so if grilled green pepper with pidan. You just need soy sauce and ginger as pidan is said to be a cold food and has a 腥 smell so ginger gets rid of it. I’ve never had pidan in a stir fry, but love pidan with pork strips and congee too.

      Century eggs congee is also popular in China. Those small pieces of eggs inside congee is fabulous. When I was a student in Beijing, I eat it a lot. In my hometown, we also eat the century egg burried in Chinese vinegar. It is commonly served during CNY

    Watermelon is very expensive fruit in Japan and Korea. So this is very popular in Olympic village. Japanese athlete found that all Watermelonthe were taken away by Korean athletes. A few days ago, Korean athletes make complaints about the food in the winter village of Tucao, After they came to the restaurant to eat enough, then they bring all Watermelon to their dorm. ...hahaha

    An ex-work mate told me of his experience in Malaysia in his early teens. His father was part of the British Empire defence force based in Penang. My friend regularly found himself eating street foods dotted along the main street. Curry, fried rice, fried noodles, Indian curry puffs, Malay Sambal with coconut rice, etc. For a mere 30 cents, yes, then could buy you a meal. Paradoxically, his mother warned him repeatedly not to eat foods from the street hawkers for fearing that he could suffer from food poisoning. She was doing that despite the fact that her family had live in Penang for at least 10 years.
    This really highlighted the distrust of Westerners on Asian foods. Perhaps there could be some degree of superiority complex in the mix too. I believe that it does require some degree of adventurism to try a foreign food. To reject it outright demonstrate one's lack of sophistication, and respect for others.

      @@wfireC You got me all fired up, in the curiosity department. I reckon humans aren't too different to many wild animals in obscured tastes. The Romans fermented raw fish guts for at least 6 months to extract fish sauce from the rotting mess. The Vietnamese also have fish sauce made from rotting anchovies. The Chinese have rotting Tofu. The Inuits in Greenland has the Kiviak which is made of hundreds of dead birds stuff into a dead seal. The rotting mess is placed under a rock for 6 months. The Europeans have rotting cheese "processed" by live maggots for a period. Apparently the maggots do wonders to the flavour of the cheese. It is OK is be crazy with food, as long as you don't look down on other people's peculiar tastes or choice.

    Even among westerners, reaction to western foods differ. Some westerners love cheeses, while others loathe them. Some like jellied eels, others retch at the sight of them. China has a very diverse cuisine, from lamb kebabs and stomach from Xinjiang to braised sea cucumbers in Fujian. Not everything will appeal even to Chinese people of all ethnicities. There's no need to be disrespectful of other people's tastes as long as it's not downright obscene and evil (like eating brain of a live monkey so beloved by colonial types in Hong Kong).

I can even surely tell you that is not a beloved food (actually extremely hard to find) by Hong Kong people and 99% of people in Mainland China will never eat this also. Hopes you sure to have concrete evidence before stating some special comment in the future.

      it's quite alright to not enjoy the food, everyone has their own preferences. what's not alright is if they spin it into a racially charged smear, which for the most part have only been done by racist news media who did not go to Beijing, blowing smoke out of their ass like the DW newsanchor or the ignorant fools at Reuters.

    Chinese people rarely eat preserved eggs directly, but add soy sauce, green onions, chili peppers, slice them, and eat them with porridge or with rice.
    In ancient China, the preservation of eggs was not easy, so various methods of marinating were used to extend the shelf life of eggs and increase various ways of eating.
    On the other hand, European countries do not have egg-preserved dishes, but like China, there are traditional foods such as ham and sausages that preserve pork to prevent meat from spoiling.
