After graduating from high school, she set foot on French soil. She quickly mastered the French language, and embarked on a three-year programme of traditional French cooking. During the six years in France, she gained a wealth of experience by interning and working at various restaurants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resonance with French Cooking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When she first travelled to the small city of Angers in France, there was not a single Chinese restaurant in the area. Nostalgic for Chinese food, Chef Li\u00a0started\u00a0to explore cooking on her\u00a0own.<\/p>\n<p>She initially went to France with the intention of studying fashion design, however, she found that cooking provides an emotional connection with people. It builds a better understanding of the sharing culture of local community and how we communicate with each other.<\/p>\n<p>Later on, Chef Li relocated to Lyon, the gastronomic capital of France. She chose to follow the well-organised training programme at Institut Paul Bocuse.To her surprise, stepping into a French kitchen and learning to cook helped her discover her true potential and passion in life. The comprehensive training courses laid a solid foundation for her future career.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tastytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/qu.jpeg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tastytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/qu.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1620\" \/><\/a>\u674e\u5c55\u65ed\u4e3b\u5eda(\u53f33)\u5728Plaza Ath\u00e9n\u00e9e by Alain Ducasse<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fight and pride<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After graduation, she went on to work at several well-known restaurants. As an Asian girl, she had to face challenges such as cultural differences and language barriers. But this has already become valuable experience in her life and growth.<\/p>\n<p>She first worked in Lyon with Chef Christophe Roure, who, after obtaining the MOF, opened a Michelin two-starred restaurant that\u2019s known for its unique Japanese-inspired French cuisine. This experience left her with a deep understanding of the essential cooking styles from various cultures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tastytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/qu2.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tastytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/qu2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1620\" \/><\/a>(Left)Chef\u00a0Christophe Roure\u00a0(Right)Chef Li Zhanxu<\/p>\n<p>She then went to Paris to join the Michelin three-starred restaurant Plaza Ath\u00e9n\u00e9e, which specialises in seafood and grains and demands the highest level of culinary expertise. \"It was extremely hard work,\" she recalls. From 8 a.m.\u00a0to 1 a.m., she worked hard and solved tasks in the kitchen. The experience provided her with an insight into the operation and management of a fine dining restaurant and posed a greater challenge to her culinary skills. She finished the programme with an outstanding score of 18\/20, making her one of the top interns in the school. Her learning journey was captured in a documentary made by French television TF1.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tastytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/qu3.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tastytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/qu3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1620\" \/><\/a>Chef Li\u00a0Zhanxu(7th from right) at\u00a0Plaza Ath\u00e9n\u00e9e by Alain Ducasse<\/p>\n<p>The trip in Paris also extended to OKA, a one-starred restaurant run by Brazilian Chef Rapha\u00ebl Rego, which gave her the opportunity to reach out and communicate with diners. It broadened her horizons and also rewarded her with the encouragement and support she needed to go further in her culinary endeavours.<\/p>\n<p>She also mentions the campus restaurant Saison, whose chef Davy Tissot was a winner of the Bocuse d'Or. She refers to him as a great source of inspiration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Returning to Beijing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Looking back on her time in France, Li admits that she was considering staying longer. Before joining OKA,\u00a0she felt that her experience at Ath\u00e9n\u00e9e had been tough and wanted to learn dessert making. She was Chef de Partie at OKA and had received the working visa before the outbreak of covid. The restaurant was forced to close down, and she finally decided to return to Beijing.<\/p>\n<p>She recalls how impressed she was with the setting of Qu Lang Yuan since she first visited the venue for a meal in 2017. She felt she could make a difference by combining local Chinese ingredients, serving wares with her own culinary philosophy. This is why she chose to return to Qu Lang Yuan.<\/p>\n<div style=\"line-height: 0;\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; display: block; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tastytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/qu4.jpeg\" \/><br \/>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; display: block; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tastytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/qu5.png\" \/><br \/>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; display: block; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tastytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/qu6.png\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong style=\"display: block; margin-top: 24px;\">Vision and Innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With a vision in mind and a desire to attract diners from diverseplaces, Chef\u00a0Li\u00a0collaborates with a different artist every quarter to bring more possibilities to the\u00a0restaurant\u00a0space.<\/p>\n<p>Exhibitions\u00a0in the pipeline\u00a0include\u00a0traditional artefact\u00a0displays,\u00a0so as to\u00a0create an even more stunning culinary experience\u00a0that\u00a0blends\u00a0food, paintings and\u00a0wares.<\/p>\n<div style=\"line-height: 0;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; display: block; border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tastytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/qu7.jpeg\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; display: block; border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tastytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/qu8.jpeg\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 4px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>The Essence\u00a0of Her\u00a0Cooking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chef Li's cooking philosophy is rooted in Chinese ingredients and culinary culture, while also incorporating the essence of Western cuisine, injecting a fresh vitality and creativity into the ingredients.

The traditional cooking methods may involve braising or stewing, but she prefers to present the deliciousness of sea cucumber in innovative ways, challenging the traditional cooking techniques.
