Many people think that California Beef Noodles is an American restaurant, but in fact California Beef Noodles has nothing to do with the United States. It is just a Chinese restaurant. In fact, apart from hamburgers, fried chicken and steak, Americans rarely eat noodles. California Beef Noodles is a brand founded by an overseas Chinese in Beijing. Wu Jinghong, an overseas Chinese who was engaged in the catering industry in the United States, returned to China in 1985 and founded the first California Beef Noodle King. A registered trademark was registered in China in 1993. The trademark was registered in the United States in 1996 and is owned by Wu Jinghong's American Hongli International Company.
In addition to California beef noodles, there are also some Chinese dishes named after foreign names. These names are really ambiguous.
Mexican Chicken Tacos
There are Mexican chicken tacos in KFC and McDonald's. Many people think they come from Mexico, but in fact it is a very authentic Chinese dish and the preparation method is also Chinese. People have researched it themselves, and Mexicans have absolutely no idea about chicken tacos. There is no difference between Mexican chicken tacos and old Beijing chicken tacos, except that one has cucumbers, one has vegetables, one has sour sauce, and the other has hot sauce.
Korean fried noodles
Korean fried noodles originated in Beijing, so it does not belong to Korea, but is an authentic Chinese dish. Koreans have improved it according to their taste. The so-called Korean noodles are just Beijing noodles with a different sauce.
Orléans Grilled Wings
Actually, it is not produced in Orleans, France, but is just a sweet grilled wing.
Portuguese egg tarts
Many people think that Portuguese egg tarts come from Portugal, but they were actually invented by Macau people because Macau was a former colony and many Portuguese people stayed in China. The taste of egg tarts has been improved. In this way, it is actually still Chinese food.
