   a) Duōshǎo: How much?

   b) Chē fèi: Fare

4. Fàndiàn zài nǎlǐ?
   

   Where is the restaurant?

   It is obvious that in a new city you just need to visit a restaurant for 1st meal. So you can ask anyone that where is the restaurant; but for Muslims, Halal food is necessary to be used because they can not eat everything that is eaten in China. The word for HALAL in Chinese is Qīngzhēn. So you can ask them Qīngzhēn fàndiàn zài nǎlǐ?

   However at the entrance of Muslim restaurant usually you will find the Arabic word حلال written, mostly in green.
