Though we indians never make authentic chinese cuisine, we do have our own interpretation and adaptation of chinese food.Even small restaurents have some form of chinese food in their menu.

Dinesh enjoys veg chinese food,though im little bit choosy abt chinese cuisine.The extra flavour in these dishes would be soya sauce,chilli sauce,vinegar...etc etc
