Which Chinese cuisine do you like best?

Answers from Zoe, a foreigner:
I absolutely love Mongolian hot pot. Get the plain broth, throw in a load of lamb, some nice sesame buns, and dip it all into the sesame sauce. It's brilliant for wintertime.

During springtime, there is a wonderful dish called chun juan. It was traditionally prepared to celebrate the first harvests of the spring. Basically it is a thin pancake, like those that come with Peking duck, and stuffed with spinach, bean sprouts, meat and eggs. You roll it up and it tastes incredibly fresh.

During autumn it is great to get into the fatty dishes in preparation for the winter. During summer I don't eat so much, but what I do love is the Northern Chinese cold noodles. The Beijing-style noodles are made fresh in front of you, and the chef will add chopped cucumber, radish, lettuce - it is really light and healthy and tastes wonderful.

In Beijing you can get a great meal for such little money. I've found often that price is not necessarily an indicator of quality. I've had superb meals in very cheap places, and I've had some disappointing meals in very expensive places.

Have you got some tips?
