“Xiaowan Cai” (小碗菜), which translates to “small bowl dishes,” is a dining style where various dishes are served in small bowls. Customers can choose different dishes according to their preferences, with each portion being relatively small and reasonably priced. This format allows customers to try multiple dishes at once while reducing waste, making it popular in many fast-food restaurants, cafeterias, and buffets. The selection is diverse, often including vegetables, meats, soups, and cold dishes, catering to a variety of tastes and dietary needs.
