Beijing: Peking Duck 🦆🍴

When it comes to Chinese cuisine, Beijing.

Traditionally roasted until golden perfection and served with pancakes, hoisin sauce, and slivers of fresh spring onion, it’s a dish that screams celebration 🎉

We couldn’t resist turning this classic into a pie. Why?

Because hoisin duck deserves to be encased in buttery, golden pastry, that’s why!! 🥧

🔥 We’re talking bold, sweet, savoury perfection that’s just as adventurous. So, now that we’ve got duck nailed, let’s level up and take a wild look at some of China’s other, shall we say, unconventional dishes… 😏

Northwest China: Lamb Head 🐑💀

Feeling brave? In the rugged regions ofNorthwest China, lamb head is a delicacy! This dish is slow-cooked with aromatic spices, and truly nothing goes to waste!

Cheeks, tongue, even the brain get a use in this cuisine! Yep, it’s nose-to-tail dining at its boldest 😲🥢

For locals, it’snormal street food. For us? A reminder that sometimes the most unexpected cuts bring the biggest flavours.🔥

Xi’an: Beef Nose Tendon 🐄👃

Over in beef nose tendon!

It’s simmered infragrant broths, soaking up all the spices and herbs. The result? A bouncy, gelatinous bite packed with umami!

It might not be the first thing you’d grab, but trust us – it’s a textural adventure!

Mengnuo: Hornets 🐝🍴

In addictive! Pair them with a cold drink, and you’ve got the ultimate daredevil bar snack 😲🐝

Not into insects? Don’t worry – we’ll stick to flaky pastry, thanks! 😏

Chongqing: Crocodile Skin 🐊🌶️

Chongqing, the capital of spice, serves up a fiery hot pot that occasionally includes… crocodile skin. This exotic bite is simmered in a bubbling, chili-laden broth and takes on the bold, smoky heat of the region’s iconic Sichuan peppercorns.

Crocodile, duck, brisket – who said food couldn’t be a wild adventure? 🌶️🔥

Shanghai: Bird Saliva 🐦💧

And now, for the pièce de résistance: edible bird saliva 😮 Yes, you heard that right!!

These nests, made by swallows, are prized for their delicate texture and supposed jelly-like consistency.

In Shanghai, it’s all about luxury and tradition. For us, though, let’s stick to pies, shall we? 😉
