How Chinese food culture changed in the past 2000 years, by the best restaurant in Zetland

Are you curious to see how the Chinese food culture had changed over the past 2,000 years? While most of the food is actually quite similar to what we east now (apart from all the fancy innovative dishes we cook for you), their ways of dining was quite different and the best restaurant in Zetland has all the information you need to know.

One of the biggest differences from Chinese food culture back then was the way food was eaten and it was primarily based around each person have individual servings of food. At one point in time sharing food was considered to be improper and a lack of etiquette, while today it is all about sharing all the food with everyone at the table.

The Chinese preferred to eat from lacquerware instead of ceramic bowls and plates, however the cost of production was too high and were replaced by porcelains. No need to worry though because we only use the finest china for our consumers and even better china if you come to our function venue in Zetland.

While on the other hand chopsticks had no chopstick rest and you were not to put them down before your host finished eating.

Cuisines are always changing, our one has evolved for the better, we went from single plates and meals per person to vast amount of food to be shared by all. Be sure to visit the best restaurant in Zetland today for a modern authentic taste of China.
