I love it. Eat it everywhere I go. I witnessed that to my European taste the Xinjiang cuisine is way closer than the typical Chinese foods. I like beef and lamb more than pork and prefer roasted meat than boiled one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_egg I just say one thing, because all my favorite food was mentioned before.

Having lived in the US for a while and tried the chinese food here, I'd just say if anyone likes sweet and sour flavour dishes as the orange chk or sesame chk from westernized chinese restaurants, he/she can order the similar dish 古老肉/gulao rou in China...At least for me I find them taste pretty similar.

I used to order sizzle plate eggplant in my feats as it always tasted nice no matter where I got it. I also liked duck tongues but I can understand people not wanting to try them. Goose is also lovely. I am in my 50's and we used to eat it when I was a child (in Australia) and until I went to China I hadn't had it for a long time. You guys are making me hungry -I must book a restaurant for a weekend feast. I must say I liked eating snake too but I had eaten it here in Australia so it wasn't anything new but I diliked the smell of pots of dog meat cooking by the roadside in Pingsha Zhuhai where I lived.

Originally from Macau I believe, but I could often find them throughout Jiangsu province (especially in Zhenjiang, a city on the Yangtze). Sweet little egg-flavored pies, the size of an average hand palm, they were always a welcome treat. Speaking of Zhenjiang, that city's famous for its trademark vinegar "Zhenjiang vinegar". The vinegary smell is heavy throughout, and can be found in many, many supermarkets and Chinese markets overseas (I have friends that have found it in St. Louis). Goes really well with Daniang Dumplings! Oh, forgot to mention Egg Tarts.

Daniang (sp?) dumplings (a HUGE chain of dumpling restaurants all over Jiangsu and Shanghai with an old granny-face mascot). Dumplings of all caliburs, reasonably priced. So sad that this chain doesn't seem to be in Guangdong province. Date-flavored yogurt (Probably available outside of China, haven't seen it in the states though). The best yogurt I ever had, and you can get it in just about every large Chinese supermarket.
