Later, I had a chance to experience authentic Chinese food by coming to China. When my family and I had just arrived in China, we went looking for a good place  (eat) in Beijing. A Sichuan restaurant(recommend) to us by a friend, and finally, we found it. Tired, hungry, and not knowingword of Chinese, we had no idea how to order, so the chef just began filling our table with the(good) food we had ever eaten. With this, we had the pleasure of experiencing an(entire) new taste：Sichuan peppercorns. The food was wonderful and different, but what was even more important was the friendship offered us.

We soon moved to Shandong Provincethe eastern part of North China. My favourite dish there was boiled dumplings （serve) with vinegar. I observed that family is important to the people there. It has become a favourite traditional dish of the people in North China,making dumplings has always been a family affair with everyone- from the youngest to the oldest-(join) in to help. Later, I learnt that the most famous food in Shandong is pancake rolls stuffed with sliced Chinese green(onion).
