Actually I am not done with my Beijing posts...there are so many
interesting photos and stories yet to be told.....
this one is on the funny, wonderful, strange breakfast in Beijing
As soon as we touched down at Beijing on the first day, Jackson and Lily brought us to this famous breakfast place...you can see Beijing locals lining up for the breakfast, while we sat, taking photos
they are so patient and well disiplined!
very crowded and full of people grabbing a bite before dashing for work
Li Leng is still waiting for an empty table, while we sat at any available empty seats first
all the pastries and breakfast stuff are in the glass shelves
If you manage to read from this chart, you can see the varieties available and the prices
you just pick pay and "tray" it out
Then you just break the pancakes and eat it
they are brisk, brusque and eat quickly and get up quickly to dash to work
see, eating like it is part of their work....
we finally managed to get places at the tables close together!
let me show you some of the stuff available.....herbal eggs
powdery buns that melt in your mouth
see the fine powder inside? full of crunchy sesame seeds and delicious bits
quizzical looks say it all: all the food is new to us
some grain broth
corn cakes to be eaten with the broth
pile high pancakes
just grab one piece and eat it with your hands
No lah, I'd rather use chopsticks!!!
huh? grab one piece? I haven't eaten my broth, and egg and corn cake and powdery bun, says Yam
in fact, I have not even finished taking photos!! said Uncle Yam!
pickled vegetable!
goeey rice or wheat paste (reminds me of the paste I used to make to feed my sis Caroline!!)
hehe...where to start?
quickly eat!!! we have to get to work..er....sightsee
the locals eat only one or two kinds, we eat ALL KINDS of the breakfast available, well almost all, because there are still so many varieties on display sale
mix up the brown gravy with the gooey paste...yummy!
bean curd
this is the outside of the breakfast hall
can you read the words? I don't know what it says,,,I haven't done any homework/googling
I went round taking photos behind the counter
so busy fulfilling the orders
outside the shop
please read the signboard and come here to experience this Beijing breakfast
window display in other breakfast shops
gosh!!! the things available! If you eat one everyday, you still would not finish the types maybe?
people making their choices outside
we have eaten our fill already, so Auntie Siok Yin is peering at the goodies
so are the rest of our group!!! (peering into the windows) while I am busy taking their photos!!
the name of the street?
crowded with pedestrians and cute dogs!
we are ready to go back to our tour coach for some serious sight seeing!
but first we walk along the road like the locals
sidewalk vendors getting ready for the day's business
more breakfast available on the streets
you are literally spoilt for choice, if you cannot queue up or get a space in the shop, you eat here
from this hygienic looking man complete with apron, chef shirt and chef cap....err baseball cap
