Cantonese Food in Beijing, China
So my buddy says he knows a good Cantonese restaurant and to clarify, this place was beyond good. We get seated and they plop down a menu that’s about as big as a wallpaper binder that interior designers have you flip through. If that wasn’t enough, there was a lady with a cart full of food that came by every so often asking if we wanted anything.
After tearing through the encyclopedia sized menu, we finally order: “Sichuan style dumplings, steamed pork buns, spicy pork hot-pot style, dumplings with pork broth inside, fried shrimp in a buttery soy sauce, and a side dish of noodles”.
How would I describe this dinner? It was fucking delicious. Really tasty, flavorful, so many different textures, cold beer to wash down the Sichuan spice; it was the perfect meal for a windy December night in Beijing.
