YUM CHA...American fast foods...London coffee

This tea morning ritual is a big part of the Chinese tradition and still very famous all through out the world where a busy Chinatown place is...

A sip of tea with dimsums and delicacies, noodles, congee, etc. A part of this are Bussiness talks in between sips, settlements and arguements, family place for a weekend treat,relaxation after a morning stretch or "Tai-Chi", or reading newspaper after a walk.

American food chains and its entrepneurship is fast catching up thus posing a threat to this customary traits. Most of Chinese teenagers and young prefer this new trend of eating habits,an influx to all American burgers, chicken, fries, coffee and pastries. On weekends typical Chinese families now have to choose between "YUM CHA" and the long arrays of KFC, Mcdonalds, Starbucks Cafe and Pizza houses. The old reliables still prefer the usual thus a division in choice is created.


Since majority members of this friendly site are Chinese...What will it be for you on this coming Sunday Family gatherings?
