Thank you Beijing for the beautiful weather and great air quality 😊😊 I finally did one touristy thing today, seems pretty unlikely that I will make it to the Great Wall this time so Forbidden City will do! Biggest royal palace in the world. . . . . . #紫禁城 #北京 #beijing #china #故宮 #故宮博物院 #tiffgoestobeijing2018 #tiffgoestoseries #forbiddencity (at Forbidden City)

I really want to share this picture because I was blown away how cute this grandma (left, red beanie) was and the fact that she could utilize this public art as her exercise (she's practicing walking) Isn't this amazing?! It gave this public art another meaning! (Girl in blue is the caretaker and grandma's wheelchair is now blocked by the two passerby on the right. The grandma took a few laps around this sculpture.) . . . . . #peoplewatching #beijing #beijinglife #sanlitun #takooli #china #chinalife #小人物 #北京 #三里屯 #太古里 #tiffgoestoseries #tiffgoestobeijing2018 #walkwithme #tiffsjourneytotheeast #thankyoustrangermodel (at Beijing, China)

Pictured here is another type of lamb meat, with cartilage in it so you get extra calcium & crunchy texture (高鈣羊肉） You also see the coal burning in the center of the copper pot & goji berries/mushroom/scallions for broth base Last picture's sesame sauce is soooo good. There's something special about northern China's sesame paste / sesame sauces, it just tastes better! I dunno what the C stands for, China? . . . . . #hotpot #hotpotdays #beijing #beijingeats #nomnomnom #tiffgoestobeijing2018 #dongzimen #京涮羊肉鍋 #銅鍋 #高鈣羊肉 #脆骨 #tiffgoestochina2018 #chinaeats #china #tiffsjourneytotheeast (at Beijing, China)

Beijing lamb hotpot! 🐑🐑🐑 Beijing hotpot is a lot like shabu shabu where you don't drink the soup. Boiling hot copper pot with very simple broth, scallions and what not. The point is to eat super fresh non-frozen lamb meat (or so I was told) and to taste the ingredient in its most basic / pure form. Similar to beef, lamb shouldn't be fully cooked when it is fresh and clean (and safe!) but my Beijing friends will only let me eat fully cooked meat because of food safety. Such a weird dynamic to get used to! (感覺很像溫體牛的概念 追求新鮮肉質！但我真的好想喝熱湯 吃火鍋沒湯好像少了什麼） . . . . #東直門 #京涮 #dongzimen #beijingeats #beijing #chinaeats #china #lamb #lambhotpot #nomnomnom #hotpot #beijinghotpot #北京涮羊肉 #銅鍋 #tiffgoestobeijing2018 #tiffgoestoseries #tiffgoestochina2018 #tiffsjourneytotheeast (at 北京东直门)

Can't come to Beijing and not eat Peking duck！This is my third duck in Beijing but first with friends, so the only time I felt comfortable enough to take pictures lol . . . . . Our whole duck came in two plates and this is the first time I knew there are diff ways to eat it! The first plate you don't use the usual dark sweet sauce. You dip the skin with raw sugar and dip the meat with fresh garlic sauce. Second plate is when you wrap the duck in the wrap with scallions and sauce & other toppings available. I like 四季民福 the most so far! The duck meat is not too lean but not too fat, and the wrap (not pictured) is super thin but sturdy. 💡FYI whole duck 198 RMB, half duck 108 RMB Other dishes here are so good too, for another post hehe . . . . #四季民福 #四季民福烤鸭店 #北京烤鴨 #前門 #故宮 #大柵欄 #dashilar #beijingeats #beijing #tiffgoestobeijing2018 #tiffgoestochina2018 #tiffgoestoseries #nomnomnom #pekingduck #tripadvisor (at Beijing, China)

So I got super excited cause I thought that was a layer of cheese but it's actually a layered of seared/toasted mayonnaise (I ended up scraping off the mayonnaise after eating the eggs). There's a lot of real crab meat underneath! 🦀 52 RMB 📍 M 小买 . . . . #beijingeats #beijing #china #chinaeats #nomnomnom #tiffgoestochina2018 #tiffgoestoseries #tiffgoestobeijing2018 #tiffsjourneytotheeast #sanlitun #sanlituneats #三里屯 #北京 #crab (at Beijing, China)

I noticed them only because the white one body slammed me from behind, at such force that I lunged forward and was very @&$#%! at the very moment until I realized it was a fluff ball that is not so fluffy (I thought it was some random kid at first, instant WTF moment) . . . . . #tiffgoestobeijing2018 #beijing #sanlitun #sanlitunsoho #puppy #poodle #tiffgoestochina2018 #tiffgoestoseries #puppies #walkwithme (at Beijing, China)
