7 STREET SNACKS - Breakfast carts! These orange vans appear in the morning around subway stations, selling: - soy milk (dou jiang 豆浆 ) - rice porridge (zhou 粥 ) - deep fried dough sticks (you tiao 油条 ). - Savory egg crepes (Jian Bing 煎饼 )! A popular breakfast snack, these large folded pancakes are cooked fresh and handed over steaming hot to eat on the go. Found outside subway stations and on street corners throughout the city, they are typically topped with egg, spring onions, chili sauce and a crispy cracker to boot. Scrumptious - Flat cakes (shao bing 烧饼 ): Beijing s many bing can easily constitute a meal in themselves. Round in shape and stuffed with various fillings, bing can be sweet, savory, biscuit-like, crumbly, or all of the above. Test-tasting is always a surprise! - Candied Haw Sticks (bing tang hulu 冰糖葫芦 ). Colourful sticks of candied fruit, these snacks are easy to spot and fun to eat. - Glutinous rice roly-polys (lu da gun 驴打滚 ). Translated as Rolling Donkey, these steamed glutinous rice rolls filled with sweet red bean paste hail from the Qing dynasty. Slightly sweet, sticky, and somewhat bean-y, these prove an interesting foray into Chinese sweets. - Meat skewers (Chuan r 串 ). Many a night out in Beijing can be satisfyingly concluded with a couple of chuan r. Found after dark, these corner side barbeques are originally from Xinjiang and sell all kinds of meat, cumin-spiced mutton being a specialty. Delicious over a piece of Xinjiang flat bread (nan 馕 ).
