Chopsticks Culture available in Kindle

Our iPhone, iPad and iTouch app "Chopsticks Culture: Your Photo Guide to Exploring Chinese Cuisine" is also available in Kindle. Below is the description:

Chopsticks Culture: Your Photo Guide to Exploring Chinese Cuisine, is a complementary guide to the smartphone app of the same name. It can be used alone.

The app is a cool, flashy and boisterous program that will remind you of a trip to Chinatown. What is its primary use? Challenge your friends in a game and see who can match a mouth-watering Chinese dish with its name in English, Chinese and phonetics.

If that’s too simple for your taste or your liking, try the app’s main use: master the way of ordering Chinese dishes in Cantonese or Mandarin with the help of our adorable Madam Chu and cool Master Zhao.

Or you can simply abandon the educational aspect and let the app show the waiter what you want to order.

In this maiden creation by our multi-award-winning cultural team, we promise you authentic Chinese food only. The app will help you stay away from coffee and hot dogs, for they are not listed!

In developer's lingo the app has around 100 photos of Chinese food, corresponding English simplified and traditional Chinese names in phonetic spelling, and sound files. The game includes three levels and a top scoreboard.

In this Kindle version, the sound and game modules are not available. But it’s still a great handy photo guide for learning to order Chinese food, or showing the waiters what you want to eat.

The book is arranged in this order:
1. Photo of dish
2. English name
3. Name of the dish in traditional Chinese and Cantonese phonetic spelling
4. Name of the dish in simplified Chinese and Mandarin phonetic spelling

For the smartphone app, go to the iTunes store.

To buy the Kindle version, go to the Amazon website.

Happy learning and eating!
