How did some famous Chinese dishes get their names? ​
​
The origin of Peking Duck, 北京烤鸭 (Běijīng kǎoyā), dates back to the Ming Dynasty when it was reserved for royalty in Beijing, formerly known as Peking.​
​
Kung Pao Chicken, 宫保鸡丁 (gōng bǎo jī dīng), is named after a government official, who held the rank of Gongbao. He was a big fan of the dish! ​
​
The chewy tapioca balls that fill the bottom of Bubble Milk Tea, 珍珠奶茶 (zhēnzhū nǎichá), look like bubbles!​
