Tips In Searching For An Authentic Chinese Restaurant

By David Brown


People like eating food specially those that came from other countries because they want to try eating new flavors. Fortunately, there is no need of going to other countries in order to taste their dishes because foreign restaurants are available across the city. This would give you the chance of trying out you have not tried before.

But some restaurants are not offering food with authentic taste to what it originally has back at their country. They tend to change the flavors to fit in with the locals of the area such as in Baltimore, MD and other cities in the US. So finding a Chinese restaurant Baltimore city has that serves authentic Chinese food is important to have a real experience.

One thing that can be done is by checking if the establishment is crowded with people and have a line outside of those waiting for their turn to sit inside. This shows that the food served there are delicious which makes people want to go inside even if they need to wait. Those which have Chinese as the majority of their patrons might indicate of their food tasting like home.

People which are traveling abroad will be looking for familiar things and would prefer establishments serving authentic tastes. You could also observe what are on their table and order those which look delicious for you. You would probably get a food with more real tasting flavor that most Chinese people like eating.

A place with many tables but not have many guests will probably have food that are not as fresh as you hope they would be. Likewise, those offering takeout with no tables would likely not create authentic dishes. It is also important to eat somewhere that looks clean and avoid those that are not, no matter what kind of restaurant they are.

Research what the regional specialty of the restaurant is because a large place like China have different areas which mastered different dishes. The northern region specialties are steamed buns, dumplings and noodles because grains commonly grow in these areas. Rice and dishes with vegetables are the specialty of southeastern region with international influences.

The southern ones specialize in steam fish and other sea foods and their cooking is light and uses copious ginger. Southwestern parts are landlocked which makes ordering shrimps and fishes not a great idea although they still have the freshwater variety. Their dishes tend to be spicy and flavored with prickly ash which leaves a tingling and numbing sensation to the tongue.

Some restaurants tend to have names that are based on the region where they come from but beware of those using the names of cities. They may not actually represent the real taste of that city but are just using them for brand recognition. The name of a dish is not a good representation also but instead look at its ingredients and how it is cooked.

Their original names have a poetic meaning compared to their literal translations. Some have colorful history to describe their taste. Buffet restaurants must be avoided due to their freshness being compromised by heating them longer.
