Our next destination is the Mongolian Hot Pot Restaurant. Legend has it that it originated in the royal courts and later became a favorite among the general public. The hot pot features a copper pot with a charcoal - fired center, keeping the broth simmering steadily. The main ingredient is fresh, thinly sliced mutton, but there are also options like beef, chicken, and a wide array of fresh vegetables and mushrooms. The dipping sauce, a blend of fermented bean curd, sesame paste, and a bit of chili oil for the spicy lovers, is a crucial part of the experience. And of course, cold beer is the perfect accompaniment to this sumptuous meal. As we make our way between these wonderful dining spots, we'll also take the time to sample some local street snacks. Such as Tanghulu, candied fruits on a stick. Jianbing, a savory pancake. And Huguo Temple snack set, which offers a taste of traditional Beijing snacks like Lvdagun, aiwowo, Jiaoquan, and more.
