A former reporter's book published in November is a collection of his adventures as a rambling foodie. Li Yingxue reports.

From roast mutton in Northeast China and a 10-year-old sorghum wine in a small town in Sichuan province to a bowl of rice noodles at a Vietnamese restaurant in Paris, Wang Kai has eaten them all. He still remembers how the food tasted and even the expression on a waitress' face.

Wang, who was a reporter with Sanlian Life Weekly, a popular magazine with 300,000 readers, for 10 years, earlier covered the Wenchuan earthquake, the crash of a plane carrying the Polish president and other stories in his journalism career. But as he traveled around China and the world, he was also looking for something else-stories about food.

His book Langshiji (Adventures with Food), published in November by Peking University Press, is a collection of his adventures as a rambling foodie.

When writing about food, Wang is fluent and funny. "Food is my window to observe the world," says Wang.
