Everything to drink in China is served hot. Even bottled water is not refrigerated. If you go into a restaurant and ask for water, they bring you a cup of boiling hot water. If you ask for cold water, they look at you as if you are crazy....why?The Chinese believe that drinking cold water and other beverages upsets your stomach. One day Kate had a stomach ache - from all the candy her grandfather has permitted her to eat - however, an older woman lectured me in Chinese for several minutes that it was because I allowed the children to drink cold bottles of water.
And yes, they serve Coca-Cola warm as well.
