The drop in temperature in the middle of Decemeber is a sure sign that
winter is finally here. The cold weather weakens the immune system, and
people easily get sick. To avoid this, it's a good idea to regulate your
eating habits and put more nourishing foods on your daily menu.

Each area has different recipes. Take a look at the following list for
more 'nourishing' cuisine ideas.

Beijing cuisine

Mention Beijing cuisine, and the first thing people think of is 'hot
pot'. Hot pot has been a long-time winter tradition in Beijing, as a way
to beat the cold and nourish the body with mutton, beef and other side
dishes.

Where to go for hot pot

Laowu Siji Shuanrou

A traditional hotpot eatery with a long history. It boasts selected
mutton from Inner Mongolia. The old-style copper pot and tasty sauces add
more flavors to the broth to entertain your taste buds.

Suantiankula Restaurant

This place is famous for its healthy tomato hotpot broth. The sour broth
is delicious but not greasy. The secret-recipe red bean soup makes a
great accompaniment. For alcohol-lovers, try the shaoxing wine, which is
made from rice and warms you up.
