Eating in China from favourite Chinese foods to new eating experiences and exciting restaurants. Travel and food tourism in China.
When you visit Hong Kong, there are many things you must do – go on the Lion Rock hike, visit the Big Budhha, take the Peak Tram, and many more. However, there is one activity in Hong Kong that many travellers miss – trying dim sum. Because of how complicated and intimidating dim sum restaurants might …
Where to eat in Taiwan? All over and everywhere. And this is why I love Taiwan. But the likely start would be Taipei. Then it’s all to do with getting lost and stumbling through the maze of Taipei food kiosks and stalls dotted between entertainment arcades, shops, and Asia’s favourite food chain restaurants. And it’s a …
This year I was honoured with an invite to ‘Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants’ award ceremony held in Macau, a ceremony which is a bit like the ‘Oscars’ of food to me, or maybe the ‘Asian Films Awards’ given its regional reach. But I will infinitely be more exciting for Asian food, and I’m sure the …
One of my sincerest obsessions in Asian cuisine would undoubtedly be the Sichuan Mala Hot Pot, a sensational mouth numbing experience which is like no other in the world.

If I had just 24 hours in Xian China I know, without a doubt, I would be at Xian Muslim Quarter. The Terracotta Warriors are… meh, the City Walls offer little more than the Drum Tower and the Drum Tower sits directly next to the Xian Muslim Quarter. Also most of my memorable experiences in …

Arriving we have few expectations of street food yet our first destination, Xian, Shaanxi province proved to be one of the best street food cities we’ve …
I think it’s fair to say that the world’s best Beijing duck is found in Beijing, and, for roast duck in Beijing, it is hard to look past Da Dong Beijing Duck Restaurant. Not the cheapest, but with little more than one opportunity for roast duck in Beijing, I’m sure as hell not going to pass on …
We arrive to Xian with little expectations for eating, leaving Xian it is one of our favourite food cities. It in no doubt exceeded expectations; street food everywhere, a city center teaming with top-notch restaurants and of course eating in Xian is cheap, make the most of it. Among the best is the local Xian Food, …
