[quote=YEELEE,442058]Dalian Huoshao in old area Hidden inside a neighborhood at Hepingli, this restaurant’s quality is attested to by experienced epicures who are familiar with traditional foods. It is always hard to find a seat if you arrive around dinnertime. The restaurant does not take reservations, so diners are suggested to simply wait until the mostly middle-aged diners finish their food and conversation. Although ordinary dishes and hotpot are available, the restaurant is famous for, as its name implies, Dalian huoshao, a traditional type of pan-fried roll-on-a-stick with different stuffings, from pork with fennel to lamb with green onion to vegetarian options. The sticks are usually eaten with vinegar, like dumplings. These sticks are fried golden and a little burnt but very soft on the inside. Its smell is one to be savored. The huoshao is best matched with kohlrabi and the restaurant’s sauce. Make sure to drink your bowl of free corn porridge. It’s the most important part of this vintage working-class Beijing dinner. Fried tripe (25 yuan) is also available at Xuji, though it doesn’t compare with Dongxingshun’s offering. The sauce (3 yuan) is a must-try. Traditional Beijing snacks such as zhagezhi (8 yuan) are also special. This snack is simple fried dough eaten with vinegar and sesame oil. The zhagezhi here is creamy on the inside, much to diners’ satisfaction.
