Described as a type of \u2018flour mush\u2019 made from different types of flour,\u00a0Chatang<\/em>, is a sweet dense cake that is prepared in several stages. First, the flours are cooked by stir-frying. At the time of serving, hot water is poured into a bowl with the flours and then stirred to create a \u2018mush\u2019. This is topped with sugar and a sweet osmanthus sauce. Traditionally, serving\u00a0chatang<\/em>\u00a0required a bit of a performance, with the pouring of boiling water necessitating considerable skill as the water was poured from a vessel with a dragon-shaped spout.

Family Li Imperial Cuisine<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Receiving one Michelin star for its excellent food, Family Li Imperial Cuisine is not your everyday family Chinese restaurant. It is a fourth-generation family of chefs who truly have an imperial cooking pedigree with family members forming part of the Qing dynasty\u2019s kitchen. In addition to its tastefully understated decor, you will appreciate the set menus that feature notable dishes like braised \u2018tiger skin\u2019 pork. If you plan to visit, make sure you book ahead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For dumplings and noodles<\/h2>\n\n\n

Don\u2019t even think about visiting Beijing without savoring its dumpling and noodle offerings. In our must-try list here, we\u2019re certain you\u2019ll be lining up for seconds because, let\u2019s face it, one round of dumplings (or noodles for that matter), really isn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n\n\n

Qingfeng Steamed Dumpling Shop<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Operating as a large chain of stores, the Qingfeng Steamed Dumpling Shops will definitely appeal to international travelers as much as they do to Beijingers. These popular dumpling shops offer good quality food at remarkably cheap prices. The stores\u2019 setup has barely changed over six decades (they still use a cafeteria-style ticketing system). The quality of baozi<\/em> sold there hasn\u2019t changed either. Wondering what you should try? We guarantee you won\u2019t be able to pass up their now-famous juicy pork and green onion-filled buns (baozi<\/em>). Or maybe you\u2019ll opt for the wonton soup, Chaogan<\/em>, congee and other side dishes. Whatever you do, just be sure to make time to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baoyuan Dumplings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With David Beckham having famously graced this venue, Baoyuan Dumplings is a Michelin Guide restaurant that is highly regarded for its colorful dumplings. What will you find at Baoyuan? Dumplings that are as colorful on the outside as they are inside.

Hai Wan Ju<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Among the many culinary adventures to be enjoyed in Beijing, international travelers must really include an experience of watching the skill of artisans making hand-pulled noodles. The perfect place for a dinner like no other can be found at Hai Wan Ju (or Beijing Zhajiangmian as it is otherwise known). At Hai Wan Ju, hand-pulled noodles are served with shredded vegetables and black bean sauce. There are two house specialties: guo shui<\/em> (rinsed in cool water) and guo tiao<\/em> (served straight out of the pot). While the main appeal of Hai Wan Ju is obviously the noodles, there is also much to be said for the authentic \u2018old Beijing\u2019 vibe of the place that provides a window to a Beijing of another time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
