Back in Beijing

My cousin Chloe surprised by us by taking the whole family out for dinner at a Xinjiang Muslim restaurant, in the hip Dongsi Hutongs. This place used to be the traditional hutong residences which are now converted into a popular area full of bars, restaurants, and housing for foreigners. However, I was happy to see that they kept the same hutong look. The restaurant was also very delicious. Very lamb-heavy dishes with a variety of spices and flavors similar to Turkish food. I loved every bite of it!
