Of cabbages and kings

Hua's Garden does Beijing classics with flair, from humble cabbages to the king of dishes in the capital, Peking duck. Liu Zhihua reports.

To rate a cook, many Chinese people believe you simply have to ask the cook to stir-fry Chinese cabbage. The household dish is easy to prepare, but difficult to make delicious and present beautifully.

It poses little challenge, however, at Hua's Garden, an established fine-dining restaurant group famous for old Beijing flavor - and one of the best places to eat fried Chinese cabbage.
