When in China, eat the Peking Duck

Most Hollywood superstars take the opportunity to appreciate Chinese cuisine during their visit to China. From their past press conferences, Peking Duck seems to be their favorite.

American director Marc Webb, best known for his Spiderman series, said he liked "Beijing Kao Ya (Peking Duck)" very much during his interview this year. He also mentioned that he first tasted the traditional dish eight years ago when he visited Beijing.

Spiderman actor Andrew Garfield and his on- and off-screen girlfriend, Emma Stone, also enjoyed Chinese dishes, including "Peking Duck, chicken wings, beef broth soup, noodles and beef tendons."

Johnny Depp also expressed his liking for Peking Duck as the first Chinese food he had when he visited China during an interview on May 31.

On Oct 16, Dwayne Johnson gave it his all to express his attitude towards China. Upon arriving at the press conference, he showed off his Chinese by saying "Wo Hen Shuai (I am so handsome)", "Da Jia Hao (Hi everyone)" and "Wo Xi Huan Beijing Kao Ya (I like Peking Duck)."
