Beijing - Foooood

Other than Roast Duck.  There are obviously tons of other yummy food to eat
(though I did get food poisoning on the last week :S )

Snacks:

"Old Beijing" Yogurt (sour milk) 

this is one of the surprising thing I have found in Beijing. 

Their yogurt is nice.. it's different from the European ones that I have been eating

It's more pudding like. (less runny) but it's very nice :) 

it's RMB 4 each from the supermarket

It's called Cheese.. but it's a bit like yogurt.. but its not soury ..

apparently it's made with glutinous rice wine.. 

I like it a lot! 

It has a longgggg queue @ nan luo gu xiang - a very popular street in beijing

apparently they only sell a limited amount each day... 

so don't go too late :) 

"qing zhen" deep fried cookies/donut? 

it's ok...... not THAT nice.. 

Wang fu jing night market
- lots of random things to eat
- no local eats there.. it's designed for tourist
  you can eat many different things there but none of them were high quality
- I didnt actually try much of the stuff - esp those adventurous ones e.g. insects
  just took photos of them :p

skewers

silk worm! 

big fat crab

stew pork in bun 

grilled cheese

deep fried icecream

scorpian/ insects

pork bun

Hot pot (Chinese fondue)

 one of the must order for hot pot in beijing is sliced lamb! 

Also the "Cold Tofu" - which is a lot more spongier than the normal tofu

noodles

Meat pancake - so nice! 

Maison Boulud Brunch
- too much food

 

- has a cakes/bun plates

DB burger! with ribs/foie gras centre

nice but I wouldnt say it's amazing... 

I didnt like the dessert .. nothing very exciting

too much cream 

it was pear with earl grey mousse + meringue 

 a basket of fresh madeleine 

so so ... ( the ones i make are better :p ) 

very pretty inside though

Noodles bar at Sanlituen

freshly made noodles

 Beijing pancake!
 - yummmm. it's worth trying but be careful! this is what killed me! my local colleague had the same thing and she didnt have any problem though
- It was 5rmb only
- It's a pancake with plum? sauce + spring onion + egg + a crispy slice

Aria at China world hotel 

- second western meal I've had

- not cheap and not memorable

seafood bisque - it's more tomatoy than seafood 

so-so
