50 Word/Food: Beijing Midnight -- by Mac Millings

.

Squatting by the charcoal grill, breath mingling with cumin smoke, we await a winter midnight treat. Our Uyghur friend seasons the yangrou chuanr - five pieces per stick; four meat, one fat.

A street vendor, his restaurant had been given two weeks' notice. It was bulldozed, for the city's beautification.

50 Word/Food: Post Office -- by Mac Millings

.

The white-tiled Post Office has tables outside; 3-kuai noodles arc into the boiling pot. Soon, they slop into the bowl. "No cilantro, miss – hot oil!" Bite the raw garlic clove, let the noodles slip down after. "Helloooo! Laowai, take a picture with my son!" This is my Beijing.
