Best Food In China website

About the company
Best food in China (BFIC, Best Food In China ) is the first and the leading website introducing Chinese food to the whole world. BFIC aims at providing high-quality and convenient information on Chinese food to expatriates, tourists and overseas business professionals, as well as promoting Chinese food and culture to the world.

It is widely recognized that foreigners, including expatriates and Westerner travelers, are in big trouble in ordering Chinese food mainly because of the difference in culture and dining customs. Westerners are hard to make decisions on choosing right Chinese food style and ordering Chinese menu, since Chinese menu that represents the variety and subtleness of Chinese dining culture is perhaps what¡¦s the most difficult to translate in the world. On the other hand, more and more Westerners pour into China for the coming Olympic Games in Beijing and Expo. Shanghai, and become a strong consumption power that no restaurants in China would ever ignore.

In order to lead this dining trend, Best Food in China therefore has assigned well-reputed native English food lancers to write up original food reviews in a way that most Westerner consumers are familiar with as well as accommodating Westerners¡¦ dining tastes. High quality articles about your feature menu, dining environment, service quality and etc., will be published on Best Food In China.

2008 will witness the furthering economic boom in China and Beijing Olympic Games and the tremendous wave of overseas tourists to China. Best Food in China will provide the industry-leading and very unique services in these areas in China.
