May 12, Jia San Baozi at White Cloud Temple.
For the last Iftar of Ramadan, we went to Jia San at White Cloud Temple to eat beef soup dumplings, lamb paomo, colorful ginseng fruit, and lamb skewers. Their service is really good. After telling the waiter it was for Iftar, he helped us plan what to serve first and what to serve later so it wouldn't get cold.






May 13, Eid al-Fitr buffet at Jianzhai.
After the Eid prayer, everyone gathered on the roof of the century-old Jianzhai shop on Yangmeizhu Xiejie outside Qianmen for a buffet. The 21st-generation descendant of Wang Huihui from Jiantang personally fried the youxiang for us. It was super delicious, with a chewy texture and not hard at all. We also ate old Beijing Hui-style stewed beef and sugar-rolled fruit. The beef is brought in from Niujie every morning and stewed fresh, never overnight. Sugar-rolled fruit is made by steaming yams with dates and raisins, then stir-frying them in sugar, which is very time-consuming.
In addition to old Beijing specialties, there were chicken curry, tomato pasta, fried cod fillets, fruit salad, and small cream cakes. It was very satisfying!









May 16, Wangasi in Sanlitun.
At Wangasi Potato Slices in Sanlitun, we had noodle soup and sweet fermented milk yogurt. Later, we went back to buy milk and egg fermented rice. Their shop is a Lanzhou snack bar that has been open in Beijing for several years.





May 19, Muyixuan in Ping'anli.
Lamb tail, lamb chops, and lamb spine hot pot at Muyixuan in Ping'anli. The last time I ate it was before Ramadan; I love it so much.




May 23, Buffet at Xinjiang Mansion.
We had a buffet at Xinjiang Mansion at noon. The value for money is not particularly high, but they have pilaf, mixed noodles, barbecue, and lamb bones.









May 31, Family dinner.
We bought spiced beef, beef tendon, liangpi, and sesame flatbread at the Ziguangyuan snack shop in Panjiayuan. If you spend over one hundred, you get a duck frame for free. Back home, I split the duck frame in two: half for cabbage and tofu soup, and half stir-fried with cumin. We ate the spiced beef and beef tendon with garlic sauce in sesame flatbread, and also made coconut curry fish, stir-fried bitter melon, broccoli with carrots, and garlic sprouts with meat.
