Chinese food I want to learn how to order food in a Chinese restaurant. Chinese food is really popular here in the UK. My favourites are: king prawn chop suey, chicken and sweetcorn soup, chicken curry and lemon chicken. Can someone please translate these? Are these all popular in China too?

This dish "chicken and sweetcorn soup", I think it`s called 鸡蓉玉米羹 in China. It`s a five words phrase, maybe sounds like “G room Yu Me Keng” in English.

中国的美食无数，即使从业人员也说不清，每一个餐馆都力图创作出自己独具特色的食品来保证自己在行业中的地位，每一个餐馆都有自己忠实的消费者，最准确的答案你应该去问那家餐馆去。如果你想订餐，可以教你几句话：1外卖吗？2送餐吗？3在这吃，4我想订餐，5打包

Chop suey is not known in China: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chop_suey. I would ask the waiter, what the dishes are called and order them in Chinese the next time. Here are some webpages with some good phrases for ordering food in China: http://www.chinahighlights.com/travelguide/chinese-food/how-to-order-chinese-food.htm https://www.rocketlanguages.com/chinese/learn/ordering-in-a-chinese-restaurant/ http://blog.tutorming.com/mandarin-chinese-learning-tips/how-to-order-food-in-chinese-restaurant
