I am Australian who has been living in Beijing for close to nine years. I love getting to know a country by the food that it eats. It's important to me to try what the locals are genuinely eating - not what a tourist site deems to be a classic dish that everyone should try. I want you to feel immersed in the local culture and that you're getting to eat things that you wouldn't have found yourself. But of course I want you to enjoy what you're eating, so I take you to the restaurants I love and which I know my local Chinese friends love.
