Snack Time!

It's about that time of the day when you tummy starts to growl and you wonder, "what can I eat?" Here are some suggestions from Beijing!

Chinese Yoghurt - Yes, the bottle is a little low budget but it's surprisingly good! Plus the stores recycle the bottles! YAY!

PaoPao Tang Gum

Freshly baked sponge cakes - I have a weakness for freshly baked goods!

A Qinghai dessert made of sweet barley, which can only be grown about 2000 meters! Look at how happy Jean looks! :) 

Fresh fruit is best purchased in carts or trucks alongside the road! I learned on my first day that any fruit wrapped up in beautiful paper and sold in a mall with Gucci and LV is a total rip off! Support China's local farmers and buy from carts :) My favourite fruits were peaches, plums, watermelon, apricots, mangosteen, and papaya!

Cola-beef anyone?! (I did not try this one although I'm wishing I did!)

And the local fave - individually packaged chicken's feet! (And no, I didn't try this one either!)
