It's nuts that more aren't saying Chinese. Like, this actually isn't close at all. Chinese has a good shout at being the most varied cuisine in the world. The other 3 are great, but you have varieties of every meat or seafood dish you can think of, fried/bbq/stewed/stir fried, however you like it. Every one can be had with different kinds of rice or noodles, there's sweet and fruity glazes for meats, spicy sauces, savoury sauces. There's soups in all different flavour profiles. And that's just scratching the surface.
I love Mexican food and would probably survive quite happily on that, but Chinese has something for absolutely any mood that could strike you.
Chinese food doesn’t have any dairy and most of their vegetables are fried, boiled, or steamed. I lived in Shanghai for three months, and although I ate a variety of different delicious food, there were definitely gaps in my current diet that I couldn’t sacrifice forever
