ABOUT ME

As restaurant owner

After my round-the-world interviews on people's aspirations in 2012,I published the first travel book in the end of 2012, and I just finished writing another two books.

Recently I opened a restaurant with friend in CBD area,Beijing, called XIAO DE 29(晓得29号),it's a small restaurant specialized in making authentic ChongQing spicy noodles.Of course we also provide non-spicy noodles. So this is my official invitation to all the world travelers to come for a taste of authentic Chongqing flavor!

As a couchsurfer, I know the importance of feeling been welcomed, our restaurant would like to offer all the couchsurfers a 20% discount.Please take our restaurant as another home in CHINA.Just send me a message before coming.(The Address is 晓得29号，0411C，No.4 Building, Jian Wai SOHO EAST, opposite the China World Trade Center, get off at exit C of GuoMao station of line 1 or line 10, then it takes about 5mins walk here).

For those who don’t know much about Chongqing.It’s is a major city in Southwest China and one of China's four direct-controlled municipalities and the birth place of hot pot in China. Chongqing cuisine is noted for its distinctive spicy and pungent flavors, as one branch of Sichuan cuisine,Chongqing dishes are spicier and stronger in taste.And Chongqing noodles are one of the most notable dishes of Chongqing cuisine.Here we will take you to travel to my home town with our braised beef noodles, Peas&Pork Sauce noddles,hot and sour potato noodles.etc,and you will also find the famous Mao Xue Want(a local dish with pork parts,squid,spam and assorted vegetables in spicy sauce).
