About this episode

Join us on Dashu Mandarin as we dive into the fascinating evolution of China's dining scene! From the convenience of WeChat payments and 24/7 delivery apps to the rise of pre-made meals in restaurants, we explore how technology and changing consumer habits are reshaping the way people eat out in China. Hear our candid thoughts on the pros (midnight medicine deliveries!) and cons (overly complex coupon systems and standardized flavors) of this modern dining landscape.
