The China Table Tennis Mixed World Cup kicked off in Chengdu on December 4, which is the first time that the ITTF has hosted this event. As the organizer, the Chinese Table Tennis Association held a grand draw ceremony on the same day, and held a luxurious dinner after the ceremony to entertain the athletes and coaches participating in the mixed World Cup. At the dinner, athletes from delegations from all over the world tasted the well-prepared cuisine.
It is reported that the dinner menu includes 6 cold dishes and 10 hot dishes, fully considering the combination of Chinese and Western styles, and taking into account the dietary Xi habits of different athletes. The cold dishes prepared include Thai tiger prawn salad, braised beef tendon plate, Sichuan-style fish-flavored pork ear, garden vegetable salad, crispy chicken with rattan pepper, and crispy bamboo shoots with pepper.
Hot dishes include Boston lobster with garlic and rich shrimp dumplings, seafood stew with abalone in green pepper sauce, braised sea cucumber with broken rice in Shunan, beef cubes with black garlic and pepper, steamed osmanthus fish with green peppercorns, grilled wings from Orleans, steamed pork with fragrant round cages, beef curry in Thai style, mapo tofu in old Chengdu, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables. In terms of staple food, there are also preserved egg rolls, osmanthus rice cakes, braised pasta with tomato sauce, and steamed rice.
At the dinner, the post-00s little devil Sun Yingsha attracted everyone's attention with her meals. The amount of food she eats is related to her daily training volume, so she has a special love for food. And the first brother of the men's team, Xiaopang, has always been subtle. As for the captain Ma Long, his self-discipline is impressive, the 35-year-old does not drink alcohol or drinks, only drinks plain water, eats mainly vegetables and seafood, and controls the amount of food appropriately.
This self-discipline is admirable. Finally, it is expected that the Chinese national table tennis will achieve excellent results in the first Table Tennis Mixed World Cup and win the championship.
