@Khengsiong – Chinese has a Muslim minority too (the Hui) and I believe it’s quite easy to find ‘halal’ baozi. I really have to taste Malaysian food!

@Bluefish – Lucky you! I can’t find a proper Beijing Duck restaurant in Ottawa…

@Seraphine – To be fair, not all kitchens are that clean. In big and famous places yes, anywhere else… you just eat on the street, and they cook on the street too! Thanks for the photo praise I sure hope the ducks don’t come alive though.

@durano lawayan – Thank you so much for the award! I’m going to check this out right now.

@beaverboosh – I believe it’s the same thing… just a different name.

@RennyBA – I found some great Chinese food around the world but I must say that Beijing duck always tastes better in Beijing for me!

@Linguist-in-Waiting – It’s really really hard to find some “real” Chinese food. Even in Chinatown…

@Celine – From the comments, I gather every culture seems to have an equivalent to baozi. Funny! Now I wanna taste them all of course

Pancakes, duck meat, onions, plum sauce..interesting!

Baozi so fit the description of momos. Momos are like steamed dumplings with different kinds of fillings in them and I had eaten it first in the State of Sikkim. Loved it.

Hmmmmm! I totally agree with what you said regarding “Chinese” food here in the Western world. There is one such joint in campus, and yes, there’s Lo Mein, there’s General Tso’s Chicken, but as you said, it isn’t Chinese.

Sad to say but the last time I really ate real Chinese food was in a Japanese shopping street. I got those steamed buns filled with meat, and then they had deep-fried chicken bits as well. Reading your entry made me crave.

Thanks for presenting this Chinese food in an excellent way. Of course you can get it in restaurant in Norway too, but the original is always the best.

However, like Diane (my wife) says: having an expert with us to pick the right course is a great help

That’s it, the missus and I are off to dim sum tomorrow. Is Peeking Duck (Beijing duck) the same as Crispy Duck that we get in the UK and Europe? (served crisp and shredded off the bone, with pancakes, hoisin sauce, onions and cucumbers)

it would seem that steam-filled buns would burn the mouth!
but seriously, there is another difference between american and chinese ‘chinese’ cooking. look how clean the chinese kitchens are! i love that the food server wears a face mask while chopping food at the table (although, i feel sorry for the duck).

I mean I ate…maybe Chinese New Year in Taiwan 16 years ago…
I was walking along a shopping street in Copenhagen and noticed this Chinese restaurant that offers Beijing Duck.
