It's Happy Belly Time!

After our experiences abroad, we are tired of re-inventing the "what to order or eat" wheel in China. Tired of being unable to eat at that cool looking hole in the wall mom n pop joint because they don't have picture menus? Tired of asking the waitress for her recommendation and being sad that you get pig's brains instead? Then you've come to the right place. Just jot down the most appealing dishes to you, take them to your local fine eating establishment, and finally relax and enjoy a 好吃 (hao3 chi1) meal.

Beijing Duck

Chinese: 北京烤鸭
Pinyin: Bei3jing1 cao3yang1

a classic Beijing dish often replicated in other parts of China and the world, but never as good as the real version... esp when served on a duck platter! take a pancake, dip some duck in the provided hoisin sauce, lay it on the pancake, take some cucumbers and onions and lay it on the pancake. now roll and eat! hands are ok though if you have mad chopstick skills, it can be done sans hands

the leftover duck is made into a super tasty soup. most foreigners don't know this, so don't forget your free soup!
