In the western world, Chinese takeout with rice and fortune cookies(幸运饼干) is a popular kind of food. But this kind of Chinese food isn't very authentic(正宗的), it is very [̍dIfrənt] from real Chinese food. Now over the years, real Chinese(dish) have become more popular in foreign countries as well.
Chinese people who live [ə̍ brɔːd] introduced many of them. Some have been popular in foreign countries for many years, others are new, like tanghulu. It is a traditional Chinese snack that's madefruit, usually Chinese hawthorns(山楂). The fruit is stuck on a stick of bamboo. Then it is (cover) with sugar syrup(糖浆), which becomes hard after it cools down.
Wang Jialiang, a tanghulu vendor(摊贩) from China, sold 8, 000 sticks in Russia one day. Tanghulu made him [̍ feIməs] in Russia, with his picture(appear) in the local newspaper. In the Russian city of Vladivostok, the deputy mayor(副市长) is a big fan of the snack, always coming to buy it (he)from Wang Jialiang.
