Wangfujing is one of the must visit area in Beijing.. as there are many stores, restaurants and many kinds of food to try

However, things that caught most of my attention are so called street foods
some of them can be delicious.. yet some can be very disturbing

frozen fruits (bingtanghuru), very sweet

I don't know that guy and also I didn't ask him to pose in front of the bingtanghuru.. I think he's the cashier

mmmm sweet corns~
fried chestnuts

I don't know its name but seemed nice

and the highlight of Wangfujing is:


scorpion/seahorse kebob

I know there are scorpion kebob.. but what the?! seahorse???
those seahorses are too cute to be eaten :( ewwww

I seen many foreign tourists are taking photo with those scorpion kebob, so I decided to give it a try


scorpions being closed up

and here it comes!
me eating a scorpion!!!!!

well it didn't taste that bad...
I thought I would throw up right after my first bite... but I ended up eating two scorpions.. couldn't finish all of them

now I can't say eating dog was the most disgusting food I ever tried
eating scorpion beats everything!!!!
