Snacks to try when you are in Beijing

Snack sampling is something for the adventurous travellers...

Oily flat bread,  appears as the big version of an indian roti. I found it too oily to try .

"Donkey Rolling" --I like this the most, should try. 

Another snack for the royal, nothing special.

Syrup coated sour plum, popular among the kids in the olden days when there were not many choices

Yummy yogurt drink from a clay container, if melamine doesn't concern you.

Copper cooker for lamb steamboat

Steamboat meal is popupar in Beijing or rather the whole of China. But, copper steamboat are only found at Dong Lai Shun restaurant, a centuray old muslim restaurant which claims to serve the best lamb ever !!! 

Waiting for the soup to boil , burning charcoal is added from the top opening.



We had a very late lunch, very few customers at that time. Dinners streamed in from 5pm onwards --while we finished our late lunch.



Copper kettles, hardly found nowadays.
