In this Mandarin episode, I talk about what Chinese people like to drink when they eat in a restaurant or hang out with friends. Orange juice and coke are popular in restaurants, along with some traditional drinks such as plum juice and Chinese herbal tea. Milk tea or Boba tea is hugely popular among the Chinese, especially the young, in all occasions.
