Beijing Pie House
I had bookmarked this place for a long time, but since we don’t get to drive to the area that much, I keep missing the chance to try it. Finally made it out here.
Complimentary Millet(?) Congee:
This was some type of Millet Congee that was free with one of the dishes we ordered. It was unflavored, so I’m guessing it serves as a carb basis, like a bowl of rice / noodles?
Cold Cucumber with Garlic:
A little bit too salty, but still refreshing with chilled Cucumbers and fresh mashed Garlic.
Lamb & Green Onion Homeland Meat Cake:
I’ve never had these before, so I’m not sure what the gold standard might be, but this was a crisped up “Pancake” (according to the menu), stuffed with Ground Lamb and Green Onions. Gamey, salty, and a bit too oily. It was tasty, but I could only eat 1 piece.
Fennel & Pork Pie:
This had an appealing golden seared crust on the outside. The Fennel mixture with the Pork was delicious. Really fragrant.
Overall it felt like a lot of carb-heavy dishes with a variety of ground meats (Beef, Pork, Lamb), fried up / seared.
What else is good to order here? Thanks.
