Cheese shops in Baltimore?

Graul's at May's Chapel has a nice selection. They also have a Ruxton (Bellona Ave) location which I haven't visited.

Beijing-Chaoyang District, Sanlitun Bar Street

Thank you for all your excellent suggestions in the various forums. They've been a big help. We'll be leaving in a few days, and our culinary student son will be traveling with us. Any other recommendations for moderate to inexpensive places near the Bell Tower, Lama Temple or Jingshan or Behai Parks? I'm guessing all these areas are somewhat touristy, but perhaps there's a gem tucked away here and there. Thanks again for helping to enhance our culinary explorations!

Beijing-Chongwen District near Red Theater

We'll be going to the Red Theater on 44 Xing Fu Da Jie for the Legend of Kung-Fu show. Any favorite places for dinner not too far from the theater? We enjoy just about all foods and are looking for something moderate to inexpensive. Thanks for your suggestions.

Best Beijing Duck in Beijing

Thanks so much for the helpful information and web site. I'm wondering if anyone out there was eating at Da Dong with three of your friends (and you were in charge of ordering!), what would you choose?

Anybody know about three locations for Da Dong?. Is there a significant difference between them? And which is closest to the Tianamen Square area? thanks for your advice!

"World's Best Chinese Food" in Beijng?

Thanks to all. Your thread is certainly the most active I've found that seems to have a clear insight into food to be found in China. We'll be traveling with one son who's a culinary student, and the other is based out of Kunming providing health care in rural areas. His most recent meal included fried bees. If you have any favorite Beijing restaurants featuring any type of Chinese food (maybe not insects), we'd love to hear about them. Happy eating to all.

"World's Best Chinese Food" in Beijng?

I'm not looking for the "best Chinese food in Beijing," but I am hoping this group of foodies can recommend a good roast duck. We'll be staying near Tiannamen Square and would like to find something no further than a 10 minute taxi ride. Reviews of Dadong and Li Qun sound touristy and disappointing. Made In China at the Grand Hyatt is a possibility, but it could possibly break the bank for a family of four adults. I heard some good things about Xiao Wang Home Restaurant. We'll be traveling with our son who speaks a passable Mandarin so we should be able to venture away from the typical tourist stops. I'm on a mission for good Peking duck and hope you can help me find it in its namesake city!

Best Dim Sum in Hong Kong

Do either serve dim sum from carts? I love to watch the parade, but am also happy to order off a menu. Any particular dim sum you adore at either place?

Thanks for the info. We'll have one full day (a Saturday) and the following Sunday morning in Hong Kong. We will be staying near the Peninsula hotel in the Tsim Sha Tsui area. Do you have favorite dim sum places you'd recommend in that area? Or any other favorite restaurants?

Did you ever try the dim sum restaurant in mong kok opened by the chef of Lung King Heen? If so, what did you think?
