More Chinese saying 'cheese' for cool-weather fondue

As autumn temperatures drop, the Chinese like to pamper themselves with hotpot to escape the chill.

In recent years, cheese fondue, a tradition from Switzerland of dipping bread and other foods in melted cheese, has become popular in Beijing, as more and more Chinese are falling for the delicious dish.

"In Switzerland, 'fondue' just means cheese fondue. It is the country's signature dish, like Peking duck (for China)," says Wang Wen'ge, executive chef with Cafe Swiss at Swissotel Beijing.
