A funny Chinese food story could be about a foreign exchange student in China. He was invited to a Chinese family's home for dinner. They served him a whole fish. In Chinese culture, it's a custom to leave the fish head and tail intact. But the student was really confused as to how to eat it. He tried to pick up the whole fish with his chopsticks and ended up making a mess. Another story is that a non - Chinese person once thought that 'jiaozi' (dumplings) were some kind of small pillows when he first saw them. And there's the story of a foreign foodie who was amazed by the variety of ingredients in Chinese cuisine. He tried a dish with century - eggs and his reaction was priceless as he didn't expect the black - green color of the eggs.
