Northern China Cuisines as I tasted

Our ancestors mainly migrated from southern China century ago . Thus , we cooked the southern China way back home , adapted version  of course . We have been influenced by the Malays, Indians , and Siamese way of cooking too . Our tour leader had forewarned us on the first day that food that we are going to taste , are definitely different from home , especially the soup. So ,I am there to try and see.

I remembered too, that on my first Beijing trip eight years ago, we noticed that we had lots of vegetable on every meal. We had a plate of onions fried with tiny strips of pork, or a plate of stir-fried sliced winter melon which we had never tried cooking back home .

This trip , we had paid for better meals , and different streams of cuisines were included . Let's see some of these places and dishes served .
