Japanese People Dislike China's Simple Breakfasts; Chinese Netizens Reply: 'We're Afraid of Being Too Elaborate!'
It's said that a day's success lies in the morning, and breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Those who have watched 'Breakfast China' will find that breakfast in every province and region of China is different, but the most common home-cooked breakfasts are eggs with rice porridge, pickled vegetables with steamed buns, fried dough sticks and tofu brains, and pastries like steamed buns and pancakes along with salty dishes.
However, Japanese people disdain China's simple breakfasts, because Japanese breakfasts include rice, grilled fish, miso soup, tamagoyaki (rolled omelet), side dishes, and fruits, arranged in a beautifully elaborate presentation:
But upon closer inspection, it's not particularly luxurious. Chinese netizens jokingly said: 'We're just afraid of putting in the effort to be fancy!' Who wouldn't want to arrange the food beautifully? Let's go!'
Rice porridge has remained a staple of Chinese breakfasts because of the variety of accompanying pickled vegetables. Just one dish of pickled vegetables can finish two bowls of porridge in minutes~
At this point, pairing it with a plate of golden-brown, egg-filled steamed bun slices, and perhaps a piece of fermented tofu, would truly make for a refreshing start to the day. Can you say that this breakfast isn't exquisite?
What's your most frequently eaten breakfast?
