Chinese food is great, but sometimes you just want a juicy hamburger. There is only problem though: how do you order a hamburger in Chinese?Has this ever happened to you while you were in China?<\/p>\n

In this post, we give you the complete guide on how to order a hamburger in China. Hamburger in Chinese is called \u6c49h\u00e0n<\/rt>\u5821b\u01ceo<\/rt>\u5305b\u0101o<\/rt><\/ruby>, or just \u6c49h\u00e0n<\/rt>\u5821b\u01ceo<\/rt><\/ruby> for short. Talking about hamburgers, McDonald’s might come to mind, right? In China there are many McDonald’s, and they are especially popular among children and young people. McDonald’s is called \u9ea6m\u00e0i<\/rt>\u5f53d\u0101ng<\/rt>\u52b3l\u00e1o<\/rt><\/ruby> in China. If you enter \u9ea6m\u00e0i<\/rt>\u5f53d\u0101ng<\/rt>\u52b3l\u00e1o<\/rt><\/ruby> and want to order something, perhaps the easiest way is to order a \u5957t\u00e0o<\/rt>\u9910c\u0101n<\/rt><\/ruby> (combo meal), because that way you don\u2019t need to talk so much. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Nowadays, most McDonald’s have touchscreen menu’s where you can order your meal. You can probably get by with just pictures – but where’s the fun in that? Every time you go to a shop it’s a great chance to practice and improve your Chinese. If you do decide to go with the touchscreen, see if you can recognize the characters of the food that you order.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

And now you can order! Easy, right? If you don\u2019t want a combo, but want to \u5355d\u0101n<\/rt>\u70b9di\u01cen<\/rt><\/ruby> (order single items), what should you do? The simplest way is just to point at the menu and say \u201c \u6211w\u01d2<\/rt>\u8981y\u00e0o<\/rt>\u8fd9zh\u00e8<\/rt>\u4e2age<\/rt><\/ruby> (I want this)\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, if you know the names of things you can say them as well. Let\u2019s have a look at McDonald’s menu in Chinese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips<\/h4>\n

In China, if you want some ketchup you have to ask for it. You’ll want to specify the number of ketchup packet you would like. Too many times I’ve forgotten to ask for enough ketchup and I run out of it before I finish my fries! You can ask like this:<\/p>\n\n\n

If you order coffee, the cashier might ask if you want milk and sugar. Have a look at our previous post to learn more about ordering coffee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Personally, I find McDonald’s in China to quite possibly be the best in the world. The price is cheaper than in the U.S. (or Europe) and the taste is excellent. That’s right, I think the taste of McDonald’s in actually better in China. Maybe it just has something to do with the limited amount of American food options, or maybe it really is better. Now you’re ready to enjoy ordering yourself a hamburger in Chinese. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s it! Now go get your food and enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n
