Food &
Cuisine In Beijing
 In
order to judge how international a city is, look at the variety of
culinary options on offer. Beijing surely qualifies as "an
international city" as the city offers its residents and visitors
cuisine from all over China and the world.
As for cooking native to Beijing, the most
popular methods are roasting, frying, stewing, braising, and steaming. A
prime example of Beijing cuisine is the Beijing
Roast Duck. Another favorite Beijing meal is Shuanyangrou or "Hot Pot",
which is especially popular in the cold Beijing winter months.
Around
the Chunjie or Chinese Lunar New Year holiday, Beijingers make meat
dumplings called Jiaozi that are a special part of northern Chinese
cuisine. Beijing's strong Muslim community with both Beijing's local
Muslims and others who migrate from Xinjiang and other parts of China
lends its own flavors to the mix that is modern Beijing. Perhaps the
most unbeatable dining is to experience the cuisine of the Imperial
kitchen.
As a great international city, Beijing also
offers many choices in western and non-Chinese cuisine and the range of
International cuisine here should satisfy even the most westernised of
palates. Beyond this, there are plenty of fast food options, handy your
shopping expeditions or whenever you just need a cheeseburger.
McDonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, Starbuck's Coffee, Subway
Subs and Dunkin-Donuts have all established chain stores in the city.
