Beijing - Day 2

We had lunch at a restaurant that specialises in Guo Qiao Mi Xian, loosely translated as crossing the bridge noodle.

They serve a large variety of noodles and most people order the set which comes with piping hot noodles and raw meat served separately so you get to add the ingredients to the noodle yourself.

Mine was a mixed seafood mi xian which comes with a good mixture of seafood in a subtly sweet broth and of course, the cold dishes that my mum and sis ordered.




Tianenmen Square and Forbidden City






All of us were starving by 4.30pm and thus an early dinner. We headed back to Wang Fu Jing and found ourselves in a restaurant that serves individual style steamboat. An interesting feature is that from my observation, the chinese enjoys dipping basically everything in the sesame sauce provided and even ask for refills a couple of times.

However, my mum being a chilli addict was quite disappointed that they do not serve any chilli sauce although I do find that the sesame sauce very appetitising especially when dipped with vegetables.






Good food can be found almost everywhere in Beijing really...and most importantly they do not hurt the pocket a single bit!
