No, unfortunately I was in China with a tour (hence the economy flights) and the food we ate was bland. Safe, but plain.

The best meal I had in China was when I went over the wall (escaped from the organised tour) and went to a muslim restaurant not far from Nanjing Rd in Shanghai and ate flat bread with lamb stew plus some of the most delicious lamb skewers I've ever eaten. Enough for three people, a couple of beers just over 100 RMB. (Probably $20!)
