Farm food


Our new apartment in Beijing is a little far out there...kind of like how I consider Queens. So, when we had family over to visit, we had to get creative in finding a restaurant. While exploring some of the small streets, we found this restaurant on a cherry farm. They offered authentic "nong jia fan" with an array of meats and veggies. My favorite was the Chinese tortillas (lao bing) that they made from scratch.

The food was overall very fresh which meant they grew their own produce as well as life stock. So, I was a little disturbed to see the rabbits and ducks roaming around the farm that would eventually end up on someone's plate. And the rabbit fur that was hanging on the wall. Or the 8 dogs that they claimed to be their pets.
