Ximen Ting Food 2

 Fruit juice, they have it everywhere. Almost every street there is one stall selling fruit juice. It’s sooo competitive. It proves that they are healthy people? They have carrots, grapefruits, oranges, apples, starfruits, celery, others. Here is a huge bitter gourd hanging in front of a stall. It looks like it’s a close range camera shot to make it look big but its not. Its really huge about 3 feet height. Take a look at their counter, it’s full with the real bitter gourd. I did not try this drink. Those whom have, you may share your experience.

 Along the way, shops selling ladies accessories and bags and all sorts of things you know. Hey look, its Domo! Never forget his huge big mouth fangs. Going on, another stall with those sugar coated fruit candy. This stall didn’t look attractive enough like the previous stalls I saw. Another little cart, selling chicken and other things which I had no idea what it was, but I did get myself a pack of cooked marinated intestines. Yum! It a little sour like having some vinegar but was nice to chew on … but you’ll get tired. Happy chewing!

They have Japanese restaurant too. I use to tell myself, when I travel, I should be more adventurous and have their local food to learn more about others. But there was this really huge lighted signboard with a huge bowl of noodle on the street. OMG! It looks real yummy. Well, since the weather was abit chill, I gotta try this Ramen noodles at Restaurant Arashi. Guess what, it was the right decision! It was delicious! The Ramen came with a piece of seaweed, some slices of pork belly and egg. But the soup, it was real good. I’m unable to describe it but it was really delicious. Soup with Sweetness of the meat. 

Next is their local food in their tiny shops along Ximen. The top dish is diced pork with soy sauce on top of the white rice, having a slice of pickle as appetizer. It comes with a bowl of gluey pork soup with mushroom. The diced pork was not too bad but not salty. Another meal was, some noodle with some thick dark brown sauce. Don’t get it wrong, it’s not our typical brown sauce with chicken. This noodle meal comes with a bowl of boiled dumpling mixing up with some bean sprout. Overall it was average.

What else is there other than ice cream and their oyster vermicelli. Plenty of things. Some vendors will be on the pavement, some food hawker (illegal), selling pictures and artwork, handwork decorative. Too bad I can’t snap any photos as they have put up a sign on the stall -> No camera/ photography.

About the illegal food hawker, you have to be careful if you purchase anything from those illegal food stalls. When you make a purchase, you will have to pay first, than only they will prepare the food for you. This is the part, if so happen the authority comes running towards them with their whistle, the food hawker would push their cart and run away really fast! There goes your food and money!!! You gotta chase them and see where they have gone for hiding. Else you are not getting your food neither any refund. Good luck!

 Look at their huge green cartoon logo. It says Shi Men Walker. During the day, you could see things clearer example the cleanliness of the street and advertising banners. In the night, you would see more as the shop signboard lights are lighted up, the huge LED billboard advertising their products, the place is well decorated with blue lights. Just like the stars in the sky. Lets go twinkle twinkle little star…..

 If you crave for some fast food, how about Mc Donalds & coca Cola? Or maybe Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC)? Yes, you have it all here!
