[交流] Do you know how to say any kind of Chinese dishes in English?

As showen in the title above, I don't know how to say Chinese dishes in English when I was asked that what dishes do you like best! We all know how to say the dishes in Chinese, but they are difficult to say in English. In worm forum, there are mang high level of English lover, so can you share them with us (you can make a list as many as possible ) and what kind of Chinese food and Chinese dishes you like best! I come from south of China, I like rice most, but noodles and steamed bread to me is ok. Of course, I like all dises with hot pepper, the inviting smells can make you watering. Haha...

Yeah, it is a good topic.

Hard to translate them into English. In my opinion, Maybe only those who have oversea experience could translate Chinese dishes into English in a natural way, such as Lopemann.

Well. I just Baidu "Chinese Dishes in English". Here are the results: http://www.baidu.com/s?wd=chines ... amp;amp;inputT=7847

The first one shows a lot of example. Hope it helps~

In fact I think Pinyin is always a good method.

While pinyin may be a good way for foreigners with a preliminary understanding on the Chinese culture/language, it would be a nightmare for those who know little about Chinese language.

Perhaps a better way is to use a self-explanatory name e.g. Chinese barbecue pork. Solely from its name, anyone can relate this cuisine to be of Chinese origin, cooked over fire, and a no-no for Muslims.
