Beijing D5 - Hou Wan Ton, 馄炖侯


At the end of Nanluoguxiang was another two of Beijing's popular home dining place. Since it's home dining, the little eateries was really crowded with families coming in for dinner, especially YaoJi (姚记炒肝店) - they boasted of the most authentic "fried liver" in Beijing and offers many cuisine to make up a colourful meal, hence the constant stream of diners.

We couldn't get a table and went over to 馄炖侯.

红油馄炖 (¥10, S$2), 小笼包汤 (¥9, S$1.80), 辣肉面 (¥12, S$2.40)

Like YaoJi, Hou Wan Ton was also an eatery often featured in Beijing's travel guides. But you should be here only for its name's sake; making a deliberate trip over shouldn't be in your itinerary cos we had had better of such Chinese noodles, buns and dumplings fare in Singapore.

Dinner was swiftly done while we continued our night stroll to Yandaixiejie, 烟袋斜街 at the next street.
