Feasting in Beijing















Left: An outdoor breakfast restaurant in Beijing - brekkie today is porridge with salted veges, bamboo basket steam buns, tea-leaf eggs, and loads and loads of vinegar.

Right: A chef prepares Peking Duck. Its a well known palace dish for the royals, and different parts are sliced differently. First you eat the crystalised neck skin area with coated with sugar on its own, then wrap the lean meat carved off later in pancakes laced with barbeque sauce, the carcase is then either deep fried or boiled in a nice soup.
