Why do Chinese restaurants always serve chicken and sweetcorn soup?
Answers:
Because its a very traditional chinese dish. If you want the normal "vegetable" or mushroom then you will have to go to a very traditional restaurant. Its lovely anyway.
i dunno .but i love chinese ..
It's the first dish they learned to make when they first settled in Iowa?
I would be very surprised if this wasn't just another American invention, like Chop Suey..
it sounds like an american chinese restaurant. the authentic chinese restaurants doesn't really serve this dish
I did not realize they did serve this dish.
What Chinese restaurant are YOU eating at?
I guess through the years it became known in the Chinese restaurant community that chicken and sweetcorn soup is a safe bet to serve with their meals. It's also the cheapest choice as well. I mean, the won ton soup usually has shrimp which is expensive and they're certainly not going to bust out the pricey shark fin soup as a side to their meals.
The restaurants near where I live usually do a hot and sour soup to go with their lunch specials. I much prefer the chicken and sweetcorn.
