• Thinking about African food in China... There's progress, but it's slow. Nairobi steakhouse, Cape Town cafe, they're there but few. You won't find pap and stew on every corner. Standards vary - some hit the comfort food mark, others... well, let's call it an 'Asian twist.' Not complaining; just realistic. True, the Chinese palate is adapting. More carrots than cornbread, but hey, we take what we can get. Safe to say, if you're craving #Nigerian jollof, might need to #cookyourown.

  • How to Order Food in China Without Speaking Perfect Chinese (Works 99% of the Time)
    Step 1: Open WeChat/Dianping/Alipay
    Step 2: Scan the QR code on the table (almost every restaurant has one)
    Step 3: Menu pops up with photos + English/translation
    Step 4: Point at pictures, choose, pay instantly
    Step 5: Food arrives in 5–10 mins. No talking needed 😂
    Bonus hack: If there’s no QR code, open your camera, point at the Chinese menu, and use the built-in translator (WeChat & Alipay both have it). Magic.
    I used to be terrified of ordering. Now I eat like a local every day.
