A Bite of China

I have always disliked documentaries (you know especially those ones you watch in social class…ugh), so when my friends were telling me about A Bite of China, I was not too excited about it.

“But it’s about Chinese food, you like food right?”

“Sure.” I said, clicked on the link she sent me. And it was BOOM! Love at first sight.

According to wiki, A Bite of China (Chinese: 舌尖上的中国) is a 2012 Chinese documentary television series on the history of food, eating, and cooking in China directed by Chen Xiaoqing and narrated by Li Lihong. It first appeared at the China Central Television in May 14th, 2012, and quickly gained much popularity. Having started filming in March 2011, This seven-episode documentary series introduces the history and story behind foods of various kinds in more than 60 locations all around China. The documentary has also been actively encouraged as a means of introducing Chinese culture to foreigners, forming a component of China’s soft power.

There are seven episodes in total:

  1. Nature’s Gift
  2. The Story of Staple Foods
  3. The Inspiration of Transformation
  4. The Taste of Time
  5. Secrets of the Kitchen
  6. Balancing the Five Tastes
  7. Our Rural Heritage

If you want to check out this beautifully-shot and mouth-watering documentary series (with English subs of course), click here for the first episode (and the following episodes will appear in the “featured videos” list).
