Fan tuan, part 2


I went out to get mantou but noticed a long line at this fan tuan place; and as H and I have learned over the years that is probably were you want to go for food ("some restrictions may apply") and this was no exception. I picked up a "red rice rice role" zimi fan tuan 紫米飯糰, stuffed with the usual dried pork flakes (rousong肉鬆), pickles, and fried bread (youtiao油條); all rolled into a yummy little package.

Good job to discover something new.

Yep, this place is about two blocks away. I was a little worried that the red rice would be too hard, but since it is sitting there steaming for so long it was quite good.
