Foreigners in China: "Chinese Fan" French Restaurant Manager Juju City

"Hello! What do two people want to eat?" "The steak on the third table is cooked six-points, and on the 9th, the tablecloth is ready to go." Alice Brown, wearing a black dress, looks smart and able to use it from time to time. A verbal mandarin greeted the restaurant's guests.

Alice from France is the manager of a famous French restaurant in Huacheng, Guangzhou, and has lived in Guangzhou for five years. Alice, who loves to drink morning tea, write Chinese characters, and speak fluent Mandarin, is quite a Chinese fan. When interviewed by reporters on the 8th, Guangzhou has a pleasant climate and low prices. She has fallen in love with the city and hopes for the future. Can take root in China.

Alice told reporters that in February 2007, she went to China for the first time and was traveling with her husband in Guangzhou. Even though Alice and her husband are very French, they were deeply attracted by the morning tea culture in Guangzhou. “Guangzhou’s place for morning tea is always very lively. I like to have morning tea with everyone, talk and experience the lifestyle of the Guangzhou people.”

At that time, Alice’s husband operated a company in Hong Kong. The high prices and housing rents allowed the couple to “fight” to the mainland. In 2008, Alice and her husband formally settled in Guangzhou.

Recalling these years of life in Guangzhou, "Everything is fresh," Alice smiled and said, when she first arrived in Guangzhou, she became obsessed with Chinese food and so she and her husband ate Chinese food for a whole year. “At that time, we went to the Chinese restaurant for dinner every day. Dongbei, Xiangcai, Sichuan, and Cantonese were all tried. I like to eat chicken kung pao and sweet and sour pork loin.”

However, when she first arrived in Guangzhou, she also said that she was depressed. Alice said, “There is no language, no friends, I don’t know where to shop, I don’t know how to talk to people, I don’t know where I am... When I first came, I often felt Lost yourself in this city."

In the summer of 2008, Alice entered South China Normal University to study Chinese. During that time, she spent at least four hours a day practicing Mandarin. In the process of learning Chinese, Alice found a lot of fun. "The word on the left of the ship is a small boat, the upper right corner is the ancient word 'eight', the lower right corner is the word 'mouth', and the word 'mouth' represents people. Together they are 'eight people in a boat'. The story of Noah’s Ark in the West is very interesting to connect with!”

In addition to learning Chinese, Alice also met a lot of Chinese friends. In her spare time, she and her friends visited Guangzhou. “Looking at the old bridges and flowing water, go to Xiaozhou Village. To get close to nature, go to Panfu’s Dafu Mountain to ride a bicycle or climb Baiyun Mountain. If you want to see a high-rise building, you’re sure to go to the square along the sports west road. ..." Alice is now a "Guangzhou pass."

In 2010, Alice entered a famous French restaurant in Guangzhou. Alice, who has a lot of research on French cuisine, told reporters that French food is widely used in the selection of beef, vegetables, poultry, and seafood, especially snails, mushrooms, asparagus, and lobster. The dishes are relatively raw, so many Chinese guests do not Too accustomed to.

To better understand the tastes of Chinese guests, Alice often talks with the guests of the restaurant and makes a record. “I now know which dishes they are used to eating and which dishes they are not used to. Chinese guests generally do not like the cheese with very strong taste of goat milk, and some meats are too raw, such as duck or steak, for the French. Mature is good, but Chinese guests do not like it." Alice told the reporter seriously. (Finish)
