Beijing Halal Diary in the Spring of 2021 (Part 2B)
Reposted from the web
Summary: This is A Spring 2021 Diary of Beijing Mosques (Part 2)B, continuing a travel diary about Beijing mosques, Muslim travel, and local Islamic culture.
May 12 Jia San Baozi at Baiyun Temple
The last Ifta in Ramadan, I went to Jia San in Baiyunguan to eat beef soup dumplings, mutton steamed buns, colorful ginseng fruit and mutton skewers. Their service was really good. After telling the guy it was Ifta, the guy even helped us plan what to serve first and what to serve so that it doesn’t get cold.
May 13th Eid al-Fitr buffet at Ji An Zhai
After the ceremony, everyone gathered for a buffet on the roof of the 100-year-old Ji'an Zhai shop on Yangmeizhu Street outside the front door. The 21st generation descendant of Ji'an Tang Wang Hui personally fried the fried oil for us. It was super delicious, and the texture was very chewy and not hard at all. We also ate the old Beijing Hui people’s special beef stew and sugar-rolled nuts. The beef is stewed every morning from Niujie, never overnight. The candied fruit is made from yam, dates and raisins, which are first steamed and then stir-fried to make the sugar brown. It is very labor-intensive to make.
In addition to old Beijing specialties, there are also curry chicken, tomato pasta, fried cod steak, fruit salad and cream cakes, which are very satisfying to eat!
May 16th Sanlitun Wangasi
I ate soup noodle slices and sweet egg yoghurt at Wangasi Potato Chips in Sanlitun, and later bought milk and egg fermented glutinous rice. Their family is a Lanzhou snack bar that has been open in Beijing for several years.
May 19, Mu Yixuan, Pinganli
Ping Anli Mu Yixuan's lamb tail, lamb chops and lamb scorpion hotpot. The last time I had it was before Ramadan. I loved it so much.
May 23 Xinjiang Building Buffet
At noon, we had a buffet at Xinjiang Building. The price/performance ratio was not particularly high, but it had rice, noodles, barbecued lamb ribs, and more.
May 31st Family Dinner
If you buy soy beef, beef tendon, cold skin and sesame cakes at Panjiayuan Ziguangyuan Snack Shop, you will get a duck rack for free if you spend 100 yuan. I cut the duck rack into two halves, cooked half of it in cabbage and tofu soup, and stir-fried the other half with cumin. I also made soy beef and beef shank with garlic sauce and fried pancakes. I also made coconut milk curry fish, stir-fried bitter gourd, stir-fried carrots with broccoli, and stir-fried meat with garlic moss.
