Dining out in Beijing

Dining in Beijing has been in my limited experience a great experience with tons of variety and a seemingly endless supply of reasonably priced, tasty options. In the past I’ve had some fantastic Thai food, inexpensive noodles from a little shop by our office, Szechuan style chicken so hot it numbed my mouth and some [...]
