A perfect Sunday and the Jianbing

A perfect day would be a bright blue sky Sunday just like the one we had last weekend.

Brunch at Blue frog. Shopping at Village. Catching up on some reading at the Bookworm.

Buying roasted chestnuts (yum!) from a street vendor. Having them while taking a long walk to enjoy the colors of autumn at sunset.

Thattu Dosas v/s Jianbing

We just got back from our vacation in India about two weeks ago. This time, I got to try the "thattu dosa". Thattu dosas made by street vendors are hot dosas they serve with omlette and coconut chutney. The taste of these dosas beat the dosas at any other restaurant hands down!

In Beijing, similar to the thattu dosa is the Jianbing. It's made with flour. It's spread on a hot plate, an egg is broken on to it, some scallions and cilantro sprinkled, it's flipped and some spicy chilly sauce spread, its folded, then a crispy fried dough placed in to it and its folded once again.  On our way back home from work we stop by and pick one of these and it's the perfect snack for the autumn- wintery evenings.
