Peking Duck
This one is a little too touristy. But no list of the finest Chinese cuisine would be complete without this crowd-pleaser! Beijing, once known as Peking, is where Peking duck began. It is a classic Chinese dish. The duck is roasted for approximately an hour and a half until the skin is golden and crispy and the flesh is moist and somewhat sweet. While in Beijing, be sure to visit one of the world-famous Peking duck restaurants. The duck is wrapped gently in delicate pancake wraps (akin to crêpes) and served with sliced cucumber on the side. Make your bookings early because the better ones tend to fill up quickly.

Char Siu
Fork-roasted is referred to as char siu in Chinese. In popular use, however, it refers to roasted meat, most frequently pig. The pork is marinated in a sweet and salty marinade before being cut into thin strips. This dish is more prevalent in southern China than in other regions of the nation, where sweeter foods are more common. One of those Chinese meals that make you want to drool just looking at it is char siu. Despite the fact that Chinese food may be prepared at home, I feel that the greatest Chow mien can only be obtained in China!
