Wang Fu Jing - Night Snack Street
Opening Hours: 4pm-9pm

Note : Do not buy the Candied Fruits from the first stall at the start of the street! Nearing closing time, in order to get rid of their sugared fruits, the salesmen will squat on the styrofoam boards which they previously stuck the fruit sticks into! Totally Unhygenic!! A friend who ate the fruits from that stall was down with stomach upset for a couple of days!

Thirsty! Are you interested in a cup of Coloured Sugar Syrup?? Think Twice! Take a look at the cup filled with Blue Liquid and Bubbling "white foam". In order to attract passerbys to his stall, the stall owner will always throw in a couple of pieces of dried ice into the cups! I saw him selling a cup filled with the bubbling liquid erupting like a "mini volcano"! A Health Hazard! Incredibly Deadly!

Fear Factor - I think it is more difficult to overcome the psychological barrier of consuming insects rather than the actual act of eating it! The insects are deep-fried and sprinkled with seasoning! I tried the mini scorpions, they did not taste that bad, pretty crunchy like "Keropok"! Not too sure how the worm looking ones tasted like!

I caught sight of a billboard in a caffe along the sidewalk. A collection of the various flags from around the world was printed on them. Can anyone tell me which country does this flag belong to?

Li Quan Roast Duck

Da Dong, Quan Ju De and Li Quan are three of the most famous places to try Peking Duck. Many guide books hype and rave about them, so expect crowds of tourists and pricey menus! I have read mixed reviews of all three restaurants. Most of the reviews advised diners to make a booking!

When a friend came over, I decided to bring him to Li Quan. Not because I felt that it was the best restaurant but I wanted to give him a Hutong dining experience. Some people commented online that the horrible smell from the toilet, drifted to the tables near it. To be fair to the restaurant, I can't comment on that point, however I noticed most of the diners were foreigners!





Here are my ratings for Li Quan:
Ambience = 4 thumbs
Food = 3 thumbs
Value for money = 1.5 thumbs

I am not a duck connoisseur, so I was satisfied with the duck. I found the pricing abit too expensive for my liking and that was the reason why it was my first and last time in that restaurant. Stay tune to find out which local joint managed to satisfy my Roast Duck cravings throughout my stay there. I know I will be bashed by food critics, but I found the duck as good as Li Quan's.
