(In the restaurant)
B: What are you going to eat you choose?
A: I don’t know which to choose, so rich of Chinese food. Can you give me some advice?
B: Er…How about donkey meat sandwich? Hebei cuisine is savory and cauce heavy, with an emphasis on the cut and color of the dishes. Donkey meat is high in protein, low in cholesterol and has a finer fiber than beef. Sliced donkey meat is stewed and served between two pieces of ciabatta-like bread to make a Hebei-style sandwich. And locals reckon donkey is as delicious as dragon meat, even though no one can provide much in the way of documentary evidence of having eaten the latter.
河北菜很可口，酱油重，看重刀工和菜肴的颜色。驴肉蛋白质含量高，胆固醇含量低，而且比牛肉纤维细。片好的驴肉是炖好的，夹在两片像意大利脆皮面包模样的饼子中间，这样就做好了河北风格的三明治了。当地人认为驴肉和龙肉一样美味，尽管没人能用文字证明有谁真的吃过龙肉。
A: Do you have any other suggestions? I don’t like to eat donkey meat.
B: What a pity.
B: Do you like Peking roast duck? Its skin remains crispy and meat oozes a fruity flavor.
你喜欢北京烤鸭吗？它表皮酥脆，鸭肉口感圆润。

丝，黄瓜丝和海鲜酱；鸭骨架经慢火炖成美味的汤。
A: I’ll have it. What’s else?
B: How about Mapo tofu? It’s also very delicious and one of the most influential Sichuan cuisines in today’s China.
A: I know this dish. Mapo tofu is named after its creator, a freckle-face woman from Chengdu who lived during the Qing Dynasty. No Sichuan meal is complete without it.
麻婆豆腐是由这道菜的发起人——一个满脸雀斑的女人（汉语：麻婆）而命名的。她来自成都，居住在清朝时期。没有麻婆豆腐川菜就不完整。
B: Yes, the tofu is tender, the minced beef crispy, the scallions fresh. The sauce hits its numb and spicy notes with aplomb. Would you like one?
嫩豆腐，碎牛肉和鲜葱是这道菜的主要材料。其调料巧妙地实现了”麻“和”辣“的平衡。A: No, thinks. My throat uncomfortable recently.
A: How about three delicacies wrapped in tofu skin(三鲜豆皮)? It looks very delicious.
B: Yes.Sanxian doupi is Hubei's answer to lasagna.The traditional breakfast from Wuhan is made with a delicious stuffing, a mixture of soft glutinous rice, egg, mushroom and pork, tucked into two pieces of tofu skin and then pan-fried until golden brown. We can use three words sum up Hubei cuisine: steamed, fishy and soupy.
三鲜豆皮是湖北的千层面。武汉的传统早点是用美味可口的馅儿做成的，软糯米，鸡蛋，蘑菇和猪肉混合，卷在两张豆皮里，然后放在油锅中炸至金棕色。“蒸、鱼、汤”这三个字就可以总结湖北菜。
A: Look, look at the dish Squirrel-like Mandarin Fish. I have eaten this dish, it is very delicious. It is one famous of Jiangsu food. Carved into the shape of a squirrel (sort of), the mandarin fish is deep-fried until golden brown, then smothered with a sweet-and-sour glaze, which, when poured sizzling over the fish, results in a squeak that sound like an actual squirrel (thus the name of the dish).
将桂鱼切成类似一只松鼠的形状，下锅烤至金黄色（淡棕色），调糖醋料加以勾勒后焖煮，倒上滚热的水直至发出像松鼠叫的吱吱声（这也是菜名的由来）。
B: This is very interesting.
B: Wow, look! Red braised pork belly(红烧肉), my favorite dish, is my mother signature dishes.
A：My mother signature dishes is Zongzi, which is bamboo sticky rice. She was really good at making it.
B: I like it, too. But it is so complicate.
A: Yes. First of all, we need clean all the ingredients. Then, soaking just to soften mushrooms a little bit. And frieding dried shriopand and some shallots with a little bit of soy sauce. And then frying raw rice, just to get that fragrant, get lots of the flavours going. Next, shape the bamboo leaf into a cup, fill it with some rice and a few pieces of braised pork belly, and another layer of rice. Then secure the parcels with string before you boil them. And then what we do, we cook it. Once it’s cooked, you can use that knot to take it all out.
