Well, look no further than Beijing roast mutton leg! As the meat cooks you can saw it off with weirdly long knives and forks. You can even wrap it in a lettuce leaf and make a little Korean BBQ-esque taco! I promise. I always recommend asking the chef for the fish with the least amount of bones, even if you have to pay a bit extra. Just say yes. Personally, I love getting a Sichuan numb spicy or Hunnan just plain old spicy flavor for my fish, but there are plenty of other options!
My picks are lotus root surprise , broccoli, pretty much any type of tofu, bean sprouts, and cauliflower. Your waiter will let you know if you need more food or more ingredients. Just translate the names of all the ingredients you want and you should be fine!
