China Beijing Food Culinary

Food in Beijing doesn’t feel like home… at least that’s relative to what I call “home”. Think sambal, dried chilli, laksa and asam laksa.

Nevertheless, if you encounter pigs piglets pork and ham, surplus and abundance is an understatement. I think pandas and pigs should be China’s national animals. One as pet and one for the table ~_~

Pork leg…. or what that’s left.

More FAT than MEAT! X_X

Broccoli towered like a bird’s nest.

Magic show, acrobatic show, all to entertain us… I think their unemployment rate is pretty high there.

Ahhh, the street that many people talk about. From starfish, rats, scorpions, seahorses, octopus, beetles, centipedes, millipedes and countless Fear Factor stuff… all sold here! The above are fruits dipped in sugar, frosted on sticks. As “healthy” looking as they are, you’ll have to get pass those icings first.

Noodles of all types sold in a loooooooong row of shops in China. All uniformed, standard roofing, selling the same stuff every 5-6 stalls apart. Conspiracy!

Your guess is as good as mine, they were once alive!

Fried ice-cream. Indeed. You wonder what it tastes like? Well, the tour guide said “see alot, eat little” was a big hint to avoid them.

Mothers of seahorses are crying around the seas of China.

Centipedes Shoe Shops just lost a lot business as their comrades were sacrificed for the wimps of humans.

At least starfish can grow again when left alone with just one leg.

A stick can costs RM15.

Heat inducted steamboat before we head for Datong, the Hanging Monastery(-18 dude!).

Throughout the whole steamboat thing, we never ran out of food. Not uncommon throughout the trip in China.

EVERY meal has 2 bottles of beer and 1 bottle of soft drink. Mix them and you get Shandy. 1 bottle of beer there is only RM2.50.

Probably the only food/delicacy to have limited portion is the peking duck. Also known now as Bejing duck.

Once food for kings, now common to all who can pay.

“Jesus said, “My food is to do what the One (God) who sent me wants me to do. My food is to finish the work that he gave me to do.” – John 4:34

This, this, this dish…. si chuan dish…. It ain’t no soup.

No no, it’s a bowl of CHILI!

Loads of fish flesh underneath that hellish chili.

And it ain’t a small bowl either.

The solution to eat the fish was, fill a bowl with Chinese Tea, then soak the fish flesh inside, shake it while till the oil is seperated from the fish, and nibble the fish.

Why nibble? Cause the fish was still full of chili flavour!

May I take back what I said about China not having enough chili?
