China Menu for Iphone

 

Chinese cuisine can be just like Forrest Gump chocolate box (without the chocolate) : you never know what you gonna get.

I love surprises but not in my plate. Certainly because I am French. And picky. During my 10 years of relationship with China, I couldn’t cut through the whole experience of Chinese food, and this knowledge came at a painful price – yes, sea cucumbers, live loabsters still moving on the table (that one was actually good) chicken hearts, bowls of insects (I frowned and said no)…

Now I know my food and exactly what to order for Chinese as well as for foreign visitors.

But what if you don’t have years ahead and still want to have a nice cuisine experience in China ? Let’s say you’re meeting with investors tomorrow and you don’t have someone like me on your side to help you pick the right dishes for the right tastes - and secure the deal? Tough situation I know. From my experience, relying on the waiter’s guess can be risky.  

So, if you have an Iphone – or even an Ipod touch, there comes China Menu with Chinese cuisine favorites including pictures, descriptions, restaurant guide and recommendation, + 60 different situations translated for you to show to dazzled waiters. And of course, some etiquette tips when it comes to eating local.

And, if you don’t have an Iphone…well there is always the option of browsing on the net forever.

To learn more about it, I interviewed Wiley Kestner, the guy behind the project.
