She is Chinese, but that is not going to stop Zhang Yuan, 33, having a western-style Christmas feast with her family this year.

Her menu includes Australian steak, Italian spaghetti, salad, creamy mushroom soup, imported wine and French souffle as dessert.

"I will bake the cake myself, with flour, cream, butter and milk -- all imported," said Zhang, who lives in Shijiazhuang, capital of north China's Hebei Province. "Now that ordering online is so convenient, foreign food is no longer rare."

Due to online shopping services, Chinese now have much better and faster access to food from around the world, prompting changes in the local food industry.
