Chinese food in the UK tends to be Cantonese food, because most Chinese immigrants to the UK come from southern China. Sweet and sour chicken and pork are popular, there's often a turntable to rotate dishes in the middle of the table, hot towels to wipe hands on (rare at restaurants in the UK) and jasmine tea to finish off. I read an article about a girl (the owner's child) who grew up in a Chinese restaurant in the UK. She wasn't allowed to eat the dishes they served in the restaurant as her parents thought they were too rich and sweet!
