One sunny Tuesday, myself and Jordan decided to explore the Lama Temple. Although a popular destination for tourists in Beijing we had never been there before and as we are leaving Beijing this summer it was on our to do list. I love strolling around the Hutongs in Beijing, it is bustling with life but at the same time very peaceful and often quiet. The Lama Temple is very beautiful, but if like us you have been to lots of temples in China, they tend to look all the same. But we had a nice stroll around, sat in the sun and enjoyed the quiet.
For lunch we headed to the Veggie Restaurant, just down from the subway at Lama Temple. We had heard good things from friends about this restaurant so we decided to give it a try and it was well worth it. We love hummus and dips and its one of things we miss most. Hummus is hard to find in Beijing and although we could make our own, chickpeas are also hard to find at times. We shared the platter with five different dips and lots of whole meal bread and pitta bread. It was delicious. Even though it looked quite small when it arrived at our table it was so filling and we struggled to finish it all, but we did! So if you are looking for something different to eat I would recommend the Veggie Restaurant....just for the hummus alone!
