Our Chinese Food Collage

So it's been over a month now since we've gotten back from our Chinese adventure and we've definitely been slacking with the blog updates. Being the foodies we are, we wanted to give you all a "Taste" of what we ate in China during our 3 weeks.

We ended up having some great dining experiences in all the places we went. Chinese cuisine is very diversified depending on the region and we were lucky to try some authentic, regional dishes in the many provinces we made it to. From the Peking Duck of Beijing to the world famous Sichuan Hot Pot to the yak meat of Shangri-La, we had many food highlights. Let's get to it:
