Mongolian hot pot is an iconic dish in Beijing. Legend has it that it was initially a favourite among the royal courts and later became popular among the general public. The hot pot features a copper pot with a charcoal-fired centre, which keeps the broth simmering steadily.
The main ingredient is fresh, thinly sliced mutton. There are also options like beef, chicken, and a wide range of fresh vegetables and mushrooms. The dipping sauce is a crucial part of the experience. A typical sauce is a blend of fermented bean curd, sesame paste, and a touch of chilli oil for those who like a bit of spiciness. Complementing this delicious meal, cold beer is the go-to drink.

Along the way, sample some local street snacks.

Yunnan-style restaurant (hidden in the hutongs). The highlight here is the cross-bridge rice noodles, a dish with a rich and flavourful broth, accompanied by a variety of fresh ingredients.

To top it off, the sweet and mellow rice wine provides a perfect ending to this wonderful food-tasting journey.
