Egg Roll, White Pickled Turnip and Dried Purple Seaweed Soup

When mentioned Japanese cuisine, D& C seems quite popular, and almost becomes a kind of fast food, especially in Beijing. One of my friends is a Fenqing,(Young people who have negative attitudes towards Japan due to the invasion and occupation of China by Imperial Japan, and support aggressive political stances towards Japan.) but he was never hesitated when he ate the beef bowl from Yoshinoy. A beef bowl is not hard to make and Yoshinoy’s beef bowl is really Chinese-style; however, the beef bowl of D&C has been sold for more than a hundred year. From this we can learn that the more ordinary and home-style the food is, the harder to makes the taste yum and everlasting.
