In China, Resturants will serve you a glass of hot water unless you ask for it cold. Why?

If you order a glass of water with your meal in China, they serve it to you hot. There is already hot tea on the table so its not to make tea. Its usually too hot to drink right away. What is the reason for serving it hot?

  1. Does it have lemon in it? It might be to dip your fingers in, to clean them…….

  2. Because refridgeration is very expensive…and China isn’t exactly the richest country. Most countries, even Canada, don’t accustom putting ice in ANY of their drinks….including soda.

  3. Because Chinese believe driving cold water is not good for your stomach, and also people generally won’t drink cold water as it might be ‘tap water’ which we know it will get you sick.
