BEST OF BEIJING - 10

BEST "FEELING LIKE A LOCAL" EXPERIENCE

While walking through Hutong Inn’s neighborhood, I noticed a man with a bag full of yummy-looking egg tarts. “Where’d he get those?” Then J saw a bakeshop right across the street – a really small stall with a long line of locals. We crossed the street and lined up.

I was 16th in line.
But in less than five minutes (in fairness, the line was fast-moving)...

...I had my egg tarts!

Only RMB1 (or PHP6) per piece!
I ordered ten.
They were good.

But Beijing KFC tarts were better.


I know egg tarts are more associated with Macau. Wish we could go back to Macau to try the original Lord Stow’s (didn't have time for it during our Day Trip five years ago).
