What does the Chinese phrase 中菜西吃 (중채서흘) literally mean?

ANSWER: "Chinese food (中菜), Western eating (西吃)," which can translate as "to eat Chinese food in the Western way."

That would usually mean that instead of having communal dishes in the center of the table that everyone eats from by using their chopsticks, each person would have his or her own plate or bowl and serving utensils would be used to transfer the food from the communal dishes at the center of the table to each person's own plate or bowl. That way people could avoid sharing spit with each other.

What is the Chinese word for "lunch"?

ANSWER: 中飯 (중반), which literally means "middle (中) meal (飯)."

The Korean word for "lunch" is 점심 (點心), which literally means "dot (點) heart (心)." I don't usually eat "dot hearts." In China, 點心 (점심) is a kind of dumpling that the Chinese pronounce as "dim (點) sum (心)."
