Food Paparazzi on the Loose in Beijing

More CELEBRITY FOOD pictures from Beijing! Juicy! Tasty! Chewy! Dirrrty! Deeelicccious!

Dong Hua Men Night Market

It was almost empty due to the rain. The price of food here's generally more expensive than Hong Kong (!!!) hehe tourist price


I've certainly marked my territories in Beijing by posing shamelessly everywhere. All eyes were on me. I thought I was so freaking HOT, until I realised that my wet dress turned transparent and everybody could see my underwear (boy, it's a sight which even made my eyes sore)


In the mood for creepy crawlies? Scorpions, worms,...name your worst nightmare (except the one where you were naked in the gymnasium in front of your whole highschool), and they have it here, on a stick. *grin*


Ohhhh, crabbbb!!!! Imagine the juicy and tasty crab meat...as dumpling filling...crab oh crab!


Fried milk (cream), pumpkin pancakes, fried ice cream


Pretty bowls of jelly


Grilled aphrodisiac, anyone?


The afro-like thingies are sea urchins, the golden brown thingies claimed to be bird nests


BBQ'ed sweet corns...reminds me of home...


Wish upon a star..fish


Steamed bird nests for youthful skin and beauty, fried ones for your cholesterol. Hehe
----------------------------------

Wang Fu Jing Market

The fancy gate (miniature palace everywhere!)


I am always partial to souvenirs, but these are available in Hong Kong too! Sob sob, I scored none T_T


Sir Screams-A-Lot. He stopped immediately when I took his pictures. I guess he has YouTube-phobia


Boiled beef stomach with sesame sauce


Oh gosh...they stinkkkkkkk


I actually kinda like the chicken hearts

He said no photo, I said too late LOL! Mr. Seahorse never thought that his adventure outside the ocean would be like this. Poor thing.


Tasty kebabs

Yummmyyy!!!


Talk about sugar coating things...


...and I picked the grapes. They taste fun bloody tastic! The sweet and crunchy sugar coating matches the citrusy grapes perfectly!
------------------------------------

Somewhere outside
The Summer Palace

Kung Pao Chicken...hot and spicy


Tasteless beef noodles
--------------------------------

Have you ever thought of dining in...
Forbidden City?
This cafetaria is in a part of the Forbidden City complex. It was so cool to eat overlooking the palace


The beef curry rice was soo good, or we were just hungry? Needed the energy to explore the whole palace. As expected, I got hungry again before even reaching the end of the palace LOL
-----------------------------------------

Let's see what's an upmarket mall like in Beijing...here's some treats from
Shin Kong Place (Xin Guang Tian Di)
So cheesy, so garlicky, so irresistible


Mouth watering muffins...

If one could stop me by just saying "NO PHOTO", then don't call me no paparazzi

  4. That row of street food is really amazing to see. I was wondering can sea horse be eaten like that? I always thought the skin is hard! It's like there is nothing they won't eat.
