As someone born and raised in Beijing, I found it quite difficult to find familiar flavours here. I believe that food is an excellent carrier of memories, and the tastes I cherish from the home-cooked restaurants in Hutongs, snacks made by century-old stores, and the big-pot dishes from canteens. The idea of opening 'The Jing Kitchen' came to mind to reproduce Beijing cuisines with authentic ingredients and recipes to create tasty memories again.
