new developments in dining
it seems that in beijing when you find a good thing, you stick with it. even if it means catching a few buses and a subway and walking to get to it. so most meals i’ve eaten have been far far away from where i’ve been sleeping, which is fun and means lots of indulging […]

dumplings-a-rama
choosing jiaozi we went to this jiaozi/dumpling restaurant… the menu is fulap with so many options, all in chinese, tick the box of the ones you want. this is the choosing process, lots of reading of characters and indecision. pencil lead on thin paper, chinese words mouthed silently over and over again. jiaozi then, there’s […]

back at uni
for two weeks anyway. which means regular visits to the dumpling/noodle place again. and since my camera was flat, i refer you back to an earlier photo of braised eggplant (and imagine steamed vegetarian dumplings instead of the pan-fried ones). finished off by sweet cakes from the cake shop in the mall. cakes/laminex

the dumpling challenge is back
pressure cooked bok choy and rice noodles steamed in the pressure cooker with fried mini-steamboat dumplings. tamari and sesame oil, and fried onion and sesame seed sprinkles. these mini-steamboat dumplings are super weird and ended up looking like chicken. about 2cm across, i tried the fry-with-a-bit-of-water method, which worked quite well. i’m going to try […]
