Xian "prata" in soup


Xian "prata" in soup, originally uploaded by maotai.

had this over the weekend in Beijing. walked into a hugely popular eatery. everyone was having the same thing and it seemed good. one was given a couple pieces of round flat bread that looked like prata only thicker and very very hard.

so one would have to tear these into tiny crumbs. when that you have bowl full of crumbs, mutton soup would be added.

must say in my most humble opinion that it was not really worth the effort. the soup was too salty and the mutton tasted rather strong. now, if the soup was to be replaced by soup kambing then it would be much better.

guess i must be missing singapore more than i care to admit :-)
