After being picked up from Beijing Airport, we went to dinner at a local cafe en route to the train station. It looked modern and hip, not unlike any number of late-night cafes that you could find in SGV, and was appropriately named Youth Restaurant.
The menu was impressive, with several items that you just can't order in the United States.
Both mom and I were impressed with the food itself. The nicest surprise was a dish of cold fern root noodles, which neither of us had tried before. It had the texture of soba noodles, in a delirious salty-vinegary broth with chopped chilies, scallions, and peanuts.
