What to expect at a Chinese restaurant

What to order
- Dumplings or bao – a good test of a kitchen’s handwork
- Mapo tofu or dan dan noodles – Sichuan classics with numbing peppercorn heat
- Roast duck or char siu – Cantonese barbecue, often displayed in the window
- Dim sum – served mainly on weekend mornings and lunchtimes
Good to know
