This is precisely what dimsumdolly&#8217;s playground is about.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/183\/481349426_af46e01577.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"125_2527\" \/><\/a><\/br><br \/>\nSo the line of stalls spanning about 200 metres sell all sort of street snacks (\u5c0f\u5403). Pieces of smelly beancurds, muttons, prawns, silkworms are skewered and grilled, emanating a myriad of smells that tease and flirt with one&#8217;s nostrils. Sea urchins, sparrows and all sorts of innards are also available for the more adventurous eaters.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/208\/481361439_b379b221d1.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Sea urchin\" \/><\/a><\/br><br \/>\nI had my first deep-fried sea urchin. The black globs didn&#8217;t taste very good and I threw it away after having a scoop of it. It&#8217;s a far cry from eating it raw as I adore eating it that way. Or maybe Japanese uni is just different. Who knows?<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/173\/481351190_3c84427a5f.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Street food in Beijing\" \/><\/a><\/br><br \/>\nAlways a sucker for crepes, pancakes and the likes, I had to try this Shandong spring onion pancake. Unfortunately it didn&#8217;t taste as good as it looked. It was very bland.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/178\/481351740_b70d9de354.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Street food in Beijing\" \/><\/a><\/br><br \/>\nI&#8217;m still not sure what this really is. The shop owner told me it&#8217;s dog&#8217;s penis. I don&#8217;t know if he was lying or not??? Of course I didn&#8217;t try it. Dimsumdolly has her limits, thank you very much. But if there&#8217;s anyone who can tell me if the shopowner was telling the truth or not, please let me know!!!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/186\/481362877_fb92aa65d7.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Street food in Beijing\" \/><\/a><\/br><br \/>\nThis was some steamed dessert made from glutinous rice. It looked very cute and pretty that&#8217;s why I bought it. There&#8217;s a slightly sweet taste to it but I was a little disappointed with the taste as it didn&#8217;t taste as good as it looked. Too bland.<br \/>\nOther foodstuff sold were pan-fried dumplings (\u9505\u8d34), boiled dumplings (\u997a\u5b50) and steamed soup dumplings (\u5c0f\u7b3c\u5305). Desserts like sweet soup and caramelized fruits were also available.<br \/>\nMy conclusion is that the food isn&#8217;t fantastic, but it&#8217;s worth a short visit just to have a look at the food and soak in the bustling energy that runs through the market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just a street or two away from the main shopping district of Wangfujing (\u738b\u5e9c\u4e95) in Beijing, lies a street which comes alive at night with whole row of street food stalls.
