Golden Tripod Attic

Golden Tripod Attic

Another favorite in Beijing: Golden Tripod Attic near the Olympic Village.

Xiaolongbao

This restaurant has awesome dumplings.

Okra

Also: some surprisingly good okra.

I forgot what these cakes where made of, but I remember enjoying them tremendously.

Interestingly enough, the sweeter dishes turned out to be harder to photograph.

Durian shortbread cakes at Guo Lin

Just posting the dessert as we were not so pleased with our other choices, and the pictures turned out quite badly too.

But here then (again) the glorious durian shortbread cakes from Guo Lin:

Durian!

We celebrated the day after Christmas with a lunch consisting of duck, and durian cookies.

This even gave us the opportunity to post the second episode in the coveted series "Frans xplains Table Manners --- Pictures are worth a thousand words".

Guangdong food with Amanda

The restaurant was called Guang Dong Xiao Chi Cha Can Ting, which literally means "Guangdong small eat tea canteen". We did not drink tea, and our eat was far from small!


Lamb with cumin seeds

sweet potatoes with what tasted like fried onions but was garlic according to the menu

noodles

tofu and marinated egg (yum), every vegetarian's wet dream!

chicken gizzards to make us smart (prolly too late now, should have eaten chicken hearts when we were young)

oooh, durian cakes, so yucky and yet so good

We actually had one more dish (we're such pigs), but we don't want to overwhelm you guys.

More Chinese food!

Today we went to Houhai Lake to find a place with good wine. We just found many many tourists --- so we went a couple of streets further and found... surprise surprise... a Chinese restaurant!

Ribbon fish

Guangzhuo style meat (yum-o!!!)

Green thingies with sesame oil

Pig's feet in black bean sauce

Duck tongues --- loads of them

Frans is testing his new tongue.

Durian cake

On the house: coffee (?) flavoured jelly

Coming up soon: photos of our new and totally cool apartment. We signed the lease today, and will be moving in on Sunday!
