My husband and I, and two good friends of ours, are headed to China in May.
I’m so excited.
I’ve never been to China, but I’ve been doing a lot of reading about the food scene there, and I can’t wait to experience it. I also can’t wait to experience the markets, the culture, see the Great Wall and the Forbidden City and just generally absorb how cool this is surely going to be.
We’re headed to Shanghai and Beijing, as well as points in between.
Have you been to China? What’s your favorite thing to do/eat/see?
I live here in China and my favourite thing in Beijing is the Beijing Duck – it simply is the most amazing taste combination and beats the anglicised variants hands down. I also love the jaiozi (dumplings) which are very reminiscent of Eastern European pierogi. Avoid the chicken feet and you’ll be fine though.
That’s FABULOUS! I’m excited to read about your amazing food adventures there!
