Yes, oh my yes! But there's really no need to speak the language at all. Most people you'd encounter speak English, usually quite well, and signs are often in English too - that British legacy. The variety of food there is pretty striking, and hotness varies quite a bit too. Most hotels have Western-style food, and chinese restaurants also exist.
