Week in Beijing (and environs) Foodblog
Off we go on another adventure! I'm still here in NYC, about to get in a taxi to take us to the airport. Unlike the past few trips, we are not flying EVA connecting through Taipei, but flying Air Canada, connecting through Toronto. I don't know what to expect, since this is the first time we've flown to Asia during the day, rather than leaving around midnight or 1AM - but the benefit is that rather than taking about 20 hours to get to the final destination, it's a short flight from NYC to Tor
That evening, we were to meet up with the last of my wife's friends in Beijing. We wound up going to a Yunnan restaurant in the Sanlitun area. From what I gather, Yunnan is in the south, and some of the dishes almost seemed Vietnamese in style.
Here's a photo of the place, located in... yep, another mall!
Beef rolls with mint and chili, on a bed of shredded cucumber
Sauteed pea shoots
This was very interesting - fresh porc
