A lot of the foods from Northern cities are made with slow cooking. 我的胃口变的变的越来越小based on my environment and my surroundings.

Revised:

I have been to Beijing for work. It feels like going back to my hometown. Shanghai is cleaner than Beijing. In Shanghai and most Southern cities, rice is the main food. In Beijing and other Northern cities, pancakes are the main foods. You haven’t tried it before? It’s hard to describe. Depending on how it’s cooked/depending on the cooking method, sometimes it’s easy to chew and sometimes it’s tangy. A lot of the foods from Northern cities are cooked with slow cookers. My appetite has changed and has become smaller/decreased because it has adapted to my environment and my surroundings.
