As a chef, I really felt at home with this place and realized that its variety of food is as vast as its land. In Beijing I took to eating Beijing Roast Duck.

When it comes to something spicy, what else but Chongqing hot pot! There is nothing that a hot pot can’t fix, so no tour of China is complete without trying a hot pot. In the restaurant I chose, there were so many customers eating that there’s not enough room to swing a cat. I have to say my mouth was on fire but I just couldn’t stop! As well as a burning mouth, I was left with a full stomach, some lovely memories, and a wider understanding of the tastes of China. 1. What do Beijing Roast Duck and Four-Joy Meatball have in common?
