In Beijing, there is an explosion of privately-owned eateries offering a wide variety of cooking styles. Visitors can find many restaurants catering to different styles of cooking, ranging from northern Beijingnese and southern Cantonese to Continental European cuisine. The city is also a great place to sample the elaborate and exquisite imperial cuisine and the famous Peking duck.
In the capital, you can check-out the hot and spicy Sichuan cuisine, greasy Shanghainese dishes, and delicate Cantonese cooking. You may also like to partake in the uniquely Hunanese dog soup, since dog soup is believed by some Chinese to be a tonic. Moderately-priced Russian food is also available. All major hotels serve western food of varying quality and price. But, even those on a tight budget can dine well in China. Beijing is packed with food stalls and restaurants serving both local and international cuisine at varying prices.
Types of northern cuisine available, that could be worth a try.
Mongolian Hotpot: The Mongolian hotpot is a winter dish, where strips of mutton and vegetables are grilled over a brass pot, which is shaped like a traditional Mongolian hat. When cooked, the food is dipped into spicy sauces for a hearty meal.
Muslim Barbecue: At a Muslim barbecue, the hawkers use lamb, due to Chinese-Islamic influences, and call their kebabs shashlik. A certain tip that a visitor should bear in mind, when going forth on a gastronomic journey is to do what the locals do.
