There is a food place next to McDonald’s in Chinatown.
They serve Shandong Meat Buns 山东包, Shandong Steamed Buns 山东馒头 (mantou) and pig innards with stir fried vegetables.
3 dishes costs 3.50 to 4 dollars.
One steamed bun costs 1 dollar and a meat bun costs 1.50.
I tried the liver and heart with cucumber. Eaten together with a steamed bun 馒头, it’s quite tasty and hearty.
It’s the staple food of the northern and northeastern Chinese.
The steamed bun is made of rice floor though I expected them to use wheat floor.
How to eat this dish?
Hold the bun in your left hand and chopsticks in you right hand.
Like how the characters eat in old fashioned Kung Fu movies.
