In A Bite of China, filmmakers equipped with high-definition cameras scoured the country chronicling a culinary heritage that can be hard to find in the urban jungles of Beijing and Shanghai. Over seven segments, it highlights such producers as ham curers in Yunnan, ice fishermen in Jilin, kimchi preservers in Heilongjiang and the makers of fermented prawn sauce in Hong Kong, among others. Sweeping musical scores and the narrator’s baritone voiceover add to the cinematic feel.
