We enjoyed exploring all the Chinese food in Beijing. We ate at the base of the Great Wall--"country food" as the tour guide described it. Lots of oil and fried foods. The even batter dipped tree leaves and fried them. I especially liked the green beans.
For breakfast we ate at the end of our little street. This lady had fresh, steamed baoxi (bread with filling), jiaoxi (dumplings), porridge with fried bread dough, and fresh soy milk. All that for about 4 US dollars. I really enjoyed having such a delicious, inexpensive option. Plus, it filled up even our two bottomless pits!
We tried the candied fruit (and had the whole street watching us!!) It was very good, but really sweet. Basically it is a hard sugar coating over strawberries. At least we avoided McDonald's ice cream for that night!
