No Salt or Pepper unless you ask

That was the rule in Beijing and China. Make no mistakes we were in great restaurants. The food tasted delicious. From soups to fish, from meat dishes to deserts we were trated with great tasting food in generous amounts. The restaurants were full of locals and chinese. I would like to think we were not in tourist type places.

But if you want salt or pepper you need to ask. No salt and fat makes the chinese kitchen an healthy option. I guess I can live with less salt. Bu no pepper? That is difficult.

Green tea or various amounts of herbal teas are great and again very healthy. Bu for a turkish guy back done the right way and coffee, are a must. Well something look for once back home…
