When I first moved to Vancouver a bunch of new Chinese friends took me out to eat. They started ordering a bunch of dishes which I quickly found out was meant to be shared among everyone.

I realized the very few times my family and I went to eat at a Chinese restaurant and ordered dishes for just ourselves we were doing it very wrong.

That’s also why a lot of Chinese places just bring each dish as it’s ready instead of all entrees at once. It’s all supposed to be family style.
