Summary: This weekend food walk at Chaoyang Park International Food Carnival covers global food stalls and halal-friendly dishes in Beijing. The account keeps the original food names, stall details, and tasting notes while focusing on what was actually eaten at the festival.

The International Food Carnival was held at the Fireworks Plaza near the South Gate of Chaoyang Park this weekend. The halal lineup was similar to last week's food festival at Scitech, featuring Azerbaijan's Siting Se, Egypt's Cleopatra, and Bangladesh's Benjibi and Samarkand. The difference was the addition of the Pakistan China-Pakistan Friendship Restaurant.

It was extremely crowded when we went on Saturday at noon. We had to line up at almost every stall, and not every dish was available. Chaoyang Park is a popular spot for people in Chaoyang District to take their kids, so many families were there eating with their children. Our main goal was also to take the kids out, with eating as a secondary activity.

We first bought potato and chicken fried curry puffs (samosa) at the Pakistan China-Pakistan Friendship Restaurant. Samosas are made from the Arab world, Persia, South Asia, and Central Asia all the way to the Hui Muslims. Whether baked or fried, vegetarian or meat, they are all signs of cultural exchange.







Then we bought butter chicken curry with saffron rice at the Bangladesh Benjibi restaurant, along with mint lemonade and mango yogurt drink (lassi). I personally feel that butter chicken is the South Asian curry most acceptable to Chinese people. It is not spicy and has a milky aroma, and even my mom likes it. The mango lassi was also a big hit with the kids, reminding me of the time I drank lassi on the streets of India.









After that, we bought hibiscus tea (pharaoh tea) and lemon-flavored Barbican at Cleopatra. Hibiscus tea is a classic drink for breaking the fast in Egypt; you can check my introduction from last week. Barbican originated in the UK, was introduced to the Middle East by the Saudi company Aujan in 1982, and began independent production in Dubai in 2005. It is now the most famous malt beverage in the Middle East. I first drank Barbican at an imported goods supermarket near my university. Back then, I didn't have much money, so I could only drink it occasionally in the summer, and it felt especially refreshing. Ten years have passed in a flash, and now that I earn my own money, I can finally drink Barbican whenever I want.











We bought grilled meat with flatbread (nang) and a beef burger at Samarkand. Their place is a mix of foods made by Hui Muslims, but the taste is quite good. The beef burger had catnip (jingjie) in it, which was interesting, and the beef patty tasted good too. Everyone liked it, though I am not sure if they serve it at their restaurant. view all
