Our hotel in Beijing happened to be right next to the apartment complex that my uncle lived in so he had a couple pointers for where Amanda and I could go for a quick bite.
It’s slightly embarrassing…but it’s almost been a year since Amanda and I went on our trek through China and we still have yet to finish up the last leg of our trip. And with our upcoming trip to Hawaii looming,it’s high time we finished up this little series. When I think of Beijing cuisine,the first thing that comes to mind is Peking duck. I mean,it IS a dish named after the city. But there’s much more to food in Beijing than delicious,crispy skinned duck. Here’s what we managed to sample while we were there.

We actually haven’t been cooking or getting around to new places but we still have a stash of posts from China and a handful of restaurants that we’ve been meaning to throw on here. We’ve been sidetracked a little bit from moving apartments,dragon boating,and StarCraft 2…but never fear! We are back! Well…for now anyway There are a handful of places in China that Amanda and I sped through between Shanghai and Beijing. Instead of writing a post about each place,I thought I’d just give a slightly longer post that encapsulates the regional cuisines of Suzhou,Xian,and Huangshan.

While we were looking for restaurants in Shanghai,Amanda and I came across a lot of positive reviews for Yuxin Sichuan. I know it’s kind of weird to be looking for Sichuan food in Shanghai,but Amanda and I were craving it and going to Sichuan was little bit out of the question . We’ve mentioned Sichuan food in our past entries,so we figured it’d be a good to taste the real McCoy for a point of reference.  |  | |
