    I like that you talked about how Chinese foods are delicious and cost-effective in the United States. My friend is going to visit us next week and I remember he loves Chinese food. I also like Chinese food a bit, so I should probably bring my friend to a Mandarin Chinese restaurant later.

  2. Thanks for listing the popular Chinese dishes that I must try. Apparently, I’m planning to take the family out for a treat at a Chinese restaurant. Upon looking through the options, I can’t help but be enticed with the chow mein, as someone who is a veggie lover. I never knew that this dish is served as fast food in mainland China, but in the United States, it is usually served for lunch or dinner. With that considered, I can’t wait to try it out!
