Chinese Food

Below is most the food I partook in while in China.

Here's some history. Beijing used to be called Peking. If you are looking at a pre-1950 map, it will say Peking and not Beijing. It may be wrong in the year, but it's good to know. With that said, Beijing is well know for it's duck: Peking Duck.
This was my first meal in China and was probably the best. It was some sort of meat (we think it was beef) with some dark sauce. Plus the light meat was chicken (or so we thought).
Yep, fondue Chinese style: Hot Pot. Raw meat cooked in water is awesome.
I forget what I ate here because it was forgettable. It was a generic meal at a tourist location. Ben and I had a few of these in Beijing & Xian.
Night of dumplings: We were so close to finishing it all.
Best noodle place in Beijing. They were fresh and had good toppings to add. The 2nd picture below is some of the compliments that joined the meal.
Somthing fancy looking.
I forget what this is, but if I took a picture of it, it must have tasted good or smelled good.
The best curry dish in China.
Dumplings again...
While in China I also ate chicken heart and some other body parts I have never had before.

I believe this concludes the Asian posts. Going forward, I hope to have some good posts (be prepared for my New Orleans post), but once I start a career (job), things may slow down.

Perhaps I will start to make up stuff and write about other peoples' adventures.

Thoughts?
