The Month for Scorpians



Grace made me meet her downtown for lunch, at her favourite foodcourt downstairs from her office, inside a pretigious office, shopping, residential complex in Wangfujing, not far from Tiananmen. We shared a Korean hot claypot rice, and a Shaanxi beef noodle. Took a walk after lunch, in 5degC temperature but sunny, around the corner to a touristy side street. Plenty of old-Beijing eateries there. Photo showing skewers of live scorpians, and dead seahorses waiting for customers. There were skewers of everything, mainly lamb meat, chicken offals, squid, but the scorpians look interesting. 1 lamb skewer costs Y1, 1 seahorse costs Y15. No we didnt try it!
