Recently, eChineseLearning gave interested individuals a chance to join Teacher Julie in a live lesson on Chinese Breakfast food. Chinese breakfast is a mystery to much of the world, since it is not a “typical” Chinese food found on menus outside of China. 

Here, you can view the live lesson playback and study up on delicious foods that Chinese like to eat in the morning.
