Paparoti, Beijing - Kopi roti - Malaysian Coffee Bun

They are soooo goooood (and very fattening I'm sure.. ) 

 I tried it out in Beijing - along  Nam luo guo xiang.
It's crumbly at the top and MEGAAAA soft in the middle
it costed 10 rmb and it was a complete delight..
you have to try it out!!!

Li Jia Cai - Imperial China Cuisine, Beijing

 

 

 

The restaurant is hidden in a hutong near hou hai

the taxi driver refused to drive into the hutong (coz it's like a maze of narrow roads)

so we had to walk from the nearest main street..

Started off with a selection of cold dishes.

my favourite ones are the tofu dishes

 

Sweet and sour ribs - perfectly cooked sauce that wasn't too thick

deep fried chicken breast

Prawn

slow cooked pork belly..

very soft

aubergine

 

fish

roast duck

 

clear winter melon soup

 

sugar coated haw, caramelized date and walnut

 

overall I really enjoyed the food

there was no extravagant ingredient ... but everything was perfecftly cooked.

there were way too many food.. its impossible to finish it all.

the food was served a little bit too quickly though.
