Cheese finding its special niche in China

Xi Dai, a graduate in her mid-20s, started getting familiar with cheese from a very young age thanks to her family frequently eating out at Western-style restaurants.

"The very first time I tried cheese, it was cooked or baked in pasta or pizza. I loved the smell when melted. It was extremely tasty," said Xi.

She now regularly eats cheese on pizzas or in burgers. Even though Xi likes the taste of cheese on its own, she rarely eats it that way because it does not go well with Chinese meals.
