Saturday afternoon I took a quick walk down "Night Food Street" just a couple blocks from our hotel. I had read that they have all sorts of "treats" like scorpions and seahorses in addition to some of the more typical Chinese treats. Yum! I did see scorpions, silk worm pupas, snakes, starfish, grasshoppers, and other interesting culinary delights. Didn't see seahorses though. Perhaps I was out too early. I wanted to go before dinner as I didn't plan on eating there!
I did buy some candy coated kiwi. Basically sliced kiwi on a wooden skewer covered with a yummy sugary coating like a candy apple.
We went to Sizzler for dinner. It was nice to get a piece of red meat. Such "exotic" dining options in Beijing!
