The yard is not big. You can sit in the yard, enter the house, and go up to the room. There is a terrace.
Their family also has hot rice, which is the leftovers from the past cooked in one pot. Sometimes hot rice with leftovers tastes better than new dishes, and their hot rice is slightly salty.

Three halal Tianjin restaurants have opened in Beijing, and the highlight of this restaurant is their sea sausage rice.
Sea sausage rice is a specialty of Jiaodong. I have only eaten it in Qingdao. This is the first time I have eaten sea sausage rice in Beijing.
Bazhen Tofu is a famous dish in Tianjin. Bazhen is not necessarily a fixed eight ingredients. Squid tentacles, crab sticks, scallops, and shrimps are more common. The portion is large and filling. This plate is very large, and one plate is enough for three people.
Jinwei stir-fried vegetables is also one of Tianjin's home-cooked dishes. This dish is not salty.
The homemade desserts in the store taste like pudding.

Chai started his business by making beef noodles, but now he has opened a high-end Beijing-style restaurant in Qianmen.
The store's main specialty is roast duck, and you can order half of it.

The pancakes for the roast duck can be refilled for free, and the dipping plate has several more options, but I am still used to just putting shredded green onions and cucumbers, and then dipping them with a little sweet noodle sauce.
A platter of Beijing-style snacks, including pea yellow, donkey rolling, kidney bean rolls and ai wowo.
Dry-fried hairtail, the fish bones are crispy and can be eaten directly. This is a cold dish.

5. Niujie Sanwanghu Coffee
Sanwanghu Coffee is a chain store, but only the Niujie store has received halal certification.
In recent years, many cafes have opened around Niujie, and they are basically full during the day. Only this shop is relatively empty, so I brought my friends here for a chat, just to have some peace and quiet.
It used to only serve drinks, but recently it has added light meals such as burgers and sandwiches.
The American-style hamburger and fries set meal costs 83 yuan per serving, which is a little expensive.
The burger is quite delicious. The bun is soft and big. You will be full after eating one.
There is a terrace on the second floor of his house with a nice view. If the taste of the drinks is improved, the popularity will be even greater.
6. Guxiangzhai
Guxiangzhai is a Tianjin shaved ice dessert shop that has opened a new flagship store in Hufangqiao.
The old-fashioned tables, chairs and benches are still used in the store.

Here you can eat Tianjin’s special cakes, steamed cakes, and twists.
There are so many types of shaved ice and soft ice, and the portions are quite large, so it’s almost the same for two people.

Their rice is worthy of praise. It is Northeastern rice, with clear grains and fragrant aroma.
8. #024 Sea String

The meat used in this restaurant is Uruguayan halal meat, and the chef is Lebanese. He is also the chef of Sumak Lebanese restaurant. Because there are many embassies of Middle Eastern countries around Sanlitun, where Haixian is located, a team of Lebanese chefs were invited to take care of it.

The complimentary bread before the meal can be paired with tapenade.
