What’s Your 2013 Beijing Foodie Wish List?

We ran down the food highlights of 2012 here, but no matter how far Beijing has come, it seems we always want more. What’s on your wish list for Beijing’s food scene in 2013?

Some suggestions to start with:

Better service
Ah, the never-ending complaint. But how badly do you want it? For instance, would you be willing to start paying tips as standard practice to incentivize good service?

Sure, Beijing now has decent Mexican food, Vietnamese food got a kick with 4corners and we’re not hurting too bad for good Indian and Middle Eastern options. But there’s always more to be desired, right? What are you still jonesing for?

Online reservation systems
Jinshisong and Sherpa have us pretty well-covered with online delivery services, and we know Beijingers are not really the reservations types. But if Restaurant Week is any indication, there’s room for us to be a little more planned about our meals. Dining City’s working on setting up an online reservations system but will it work?

Better food in _____ (insert your area of the city)
Lido, the Gulou area and Xiaoyun Lu have all seem some great developments in the last year, but what areas do you wish had better or more food options?

Specific dishes
Do you wish you could get good menudo in Beijing? Or Hainan chicken that matches the slipperiness and down-home satisfaction of Singapore's hawker stands? Chilli crab? Carne asada fries? Oatmeal spinach meat loaf? Huge puffy donuts? Falafel soup? (If only Dini's were more dependable in this regard ... )
