Foodie Goodie

Believe it or not, I was ranked only the 2nd Great & Big Eater in Beijing. *What?! I'm not the 1st??!?!* Told u guys that I don't eat a lot lorrrr... *V*

During the trip, i noticed that the Top Great & Big Eater in our group is indeed a Great & Big Eater. He practically stuffs everything into his tummy, regardless of the taste and quality of the food. I can see why I'm ranked the 2nd. Even I willingly present him with that title with both hands! haha...

I may be eating slightly more than an average person but I've my own food philosophy. I eat only good quality & tasty food. must have valid reasons that i can live with mah. Why becoming a hippo for bad food that I don't enjoy/like? Learn from the master - this is called proper planning... ^^

If you visit Beijing, U must not miss Gui Street
簋街 (发音为“鬼街). It's a food street that never sleeps! How I know? J & I tested it by sneaking out to Gui Street for supper at 12am on a week night. It was freezing But the street was still brightly lit with red lanterns and there were still hungry people like us wandering around looking for food to eat.



As we walked on the street trying to figure out which restaurant to go into, the waiters started promoting their restaurants' specialites by reading us a long list of their menus. Without a comma or full stop that is. All I heard was "@£!%^&&*$("@......" Incredible!!! We also stopped in between to comment on the menus we saw - fried rabbit head? grilled rabbit? dog meat?
羊蝎子? 爆牛肚? etc. errrm... I'm simple person. Simple food will do lah.

炸兔头anyone?

We settled at a very small (only 9 tables in total & a bit run down compared to the big & nicely decorated restaurants nearby) but crowded eating place. Don't judge a book by its cover because not only were food very good but also very CHEAP!

拉面, 凉醋花生--非常清淡


刀削面
[Yes, It's soaked in oil but tastes damn GOOD!]



It's dinner time! Yummmm....
Eating raw garlics with noodles is Heavenly....


It was a nice feeling to swallow hot soupy food and cold beer in the freezing winter! I know it's suicidal [heard that cancer can develop by mixing hot food & cold drink] but it is just too wonderful not to do it!! You gotta try the combo! It warms u up on the inside immediately! Very contented lah... We even went back for the 2nd time!!
