Nothing beats the convenience of ordering food straight to your doorstep, especially when you’re still in the middle of unpacking boxes. Not only does it take the guesswork out of figuring out what to make for lunch or dinner, but kids are always happy for the treat. In Beijing, we are fortunate enough to have a wealth of English-friendly delivery services with a variety of cuisine to choose from. So the next time you’re pressed for time or simply need a break from the kitchen, just head to the computer and place your order.
