As you enter Wangfujing, you’ll encounter a triumphant blend of creativity, flavor and economy. Cooks fry, chop and stir usually simple dishes, often with grains as the centerpiece.
There are dozens of different food stalls also offering in different kinds such as: insects that have been deep fried and put on a stick like star fish, sea horses, lamb, sugar coated fruits, noodle dishes, octopus, scorpions and more.
It is fun to walk around Wangfujing and see all the different foods they offer but I don't know if it's worth a taste.
it is a good introduction to authentic Chinese cooking, but be forewarned. The taste of authentic Chinese food can be a shock to the tongue, as it is quite different from what we’re used to at home. The spices are different, they are much greasier and some have a really strong aftertaste.
So, if you visit Beijing don't forget to visit The Wangfujing street in the evening for the sake of adventure!
