Beijing 2024 - Dashilan (大栅栏) Area Tea and Dinner

 

After lunch at NiuJie, we decided to go back and rest at the hotel as it was quite a hot and humid day. We grabbed some cold drinks from Mixue on the same road as our hotel. But the ice served here is never enough. I provided this feedback to my China friend, she she said I could ask them for more ice. She told me that if the shop gave too much ice, people would actually complaint that the shop was trying to cheat them. They would be more than happy to give me more ice if I request. Ok! Noted!

Tea time inside the hotel. Munching on mysterious cakes we got from NiuJie. Most tasted like those Chinese rice cakes, or those Nyonya cakes from Malaysia. They weren't very sweet, but a lot was red bean based. There were some made from hawthorn which I surprisingly like! They tasted very appetising!

For dinner, we went to the opposite small restaurant again cause we were too lazy to think what to eat for dinner. Since they have such a large menu, it was easy to just order a few dish and eat there. It wasn't too expensive, and the taste was usually ok. Of course we had to have ice cool beer.

This round we ordered mala tofu for me, braised beef for the husband, and a classic tomato scramble eggs. After walking so much daily, having rice is such a comforting feeling. I think I am healthiest when I am traveling cause I am always walking everywhere and so much.

 

Finish all our dishes like good Chinese people that don't waste food!
