Chinese Cuisine around the world

Chinese cuisine is any of several styles originating in the regions of China, some of which have become highly popular in other parts of the world — from Asia to the Americas, Australia, Western Europe and Southern Africa. Where there are historical immigrant Chinese populations, the style of food has evolved – for example, American Chinese cuisine and Indian Chinese cuisine are prominent examples of Chinese cuisine that has been adapted to suit local palates. In recent years, connoisseurs of Chinese food have also sprouted in Eastern Europe and South Asia.

Derived cuisines
As Chinese cuisine has spread globally, it has been adapted to local tastes and ingredients, and modified by the local cuisine, to greater or lesser extents. This has resulted in a number of forms of fusion cuisine, often very popular in the country in question, and some of these, such as ramen (Japanese Chinese) have become popular internationally. These include:

    * American Chinese cuisine
    * Canadian Chinese cuisine
    * Indian Chinese cuisine
    * Japanese Chinese cuisine
    * Korean Chinese cuisine
    * Pakistani Chinese cuisine
