Beijing street food

When I first moved to Beijing in 2014 we were taken to one of the hutongs to try out the street food. If you do make a trip to Beijing you must go and visit this place.

This is the hutong that we went to

At the entrance to the hutong

Biscuits and cakes

Different types of pancakes

This is the where the delicacy section starts

What’s on offer?

Skewered seafood

Seahorses

Scorpions, beetles, spiders, and others that I do not recognise

Here are starfish, centipedes, locusts and so on

Scorpions

The uncooked scorpions are still alive

Marie tentatively trying the scorpion

Amelie actually loves the scorpion.

Needless to say I could not make myself try anything.
