have heard so much of those famous, yet elusive, Beijing snacks. No one under 35 years old really have tasted the foul-smelled DouZhi (fermented soybean milk) and greasy JiaoQuan (fried dough, not even close to doughnut in taste, but similar in shape).  Everyone said that someone else is crazy about them.  Hmm..  Make you thin.<\/p>\n<p>Since the massive QianMen renovation, many 100+ years snack stands moved to JiuMen Snacks, a food-court in traditional Chinese setting near HouHai district.  Turn into this narrow alley, enter the imposing gate, you will be surrounded by Beijingers seeking their childhood comfort foods and snacks.<\/p>\n<p>This are the real Beijing foods.  Some could be too alien for out-of-towners, but the experience is definitively memorable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cross posted at: NomadicMinds, Sun English and Chinese blogs.
