| When you eat a meal, you normally need something to drink the same time. In restaurants in China water or tea is normally for free, but maybe you feel like drinking something else? Let’s have a look at classic drinks you will find in restaurants across China to wash down your meal or extinguish the spice. First of all, the Chinese name for drink is 饮料 (yǐn liào).  Iced Lemon Tea 冰柠檬茶 (bīng níng méng chá) A Hong Kong speciality which is really nothing like iced lemon tea found elsewhere. It probably contains more sugar than should ever be allowed in one drink. However, it tastes so good. Tsing Tao Beer 青岛啤酒 (qīng dǎo pí jiǔ) A light and refreshing beer that goes well with Chinese food. Chinese/Asian beers are normally much lighter and less bitter than European beers, so for a lot of people this is more enjoyable to drink. Snow Beer 雪花啤酒 (xuě huā píjiǔ) If you haven’t been to China you may not have heard of it, yet it is the world’s best selling beer. China is the biggest producer of beer in the world! Snow is similar to Tsing Tao in that it is very light and watery. Baijiu 白酒 (bái jiǔ) China’s spirit of choice. Beware, the alcohol percentage of this varies and it is likely you might come across a home-brewed version of this where the percentage can be very high so drink slowly and with caution. |
