Wuyishan Nongjiacai 武夷山农家菜

Take the tube to the Changchun Jie station and grab a cab to Maliandao Tea Street (马连道茶城一条街) – a.k.a. Little Fujian. Tiny Fujianese eateries lie adjacent to the tea shops here and among them is the nondescript front door to Madam Jiang’s Wuyishan Nongjiacai (武夷山农家菜) which serves up platters of typical home cooking from Wuyishan, a region in Fujian famed for tea and breathtaking natural scenery. Madam Jiang has adapted the recipe for Wuyishan-style smoked goose to suit Beijing’s ducks, and prepares it in the restaurant’s modest kitchen. Other humble ingredients are transformed into delicacies, such as taro and Chinese yam (shanyao, 山药). Don't leave without trying the black preserved bamboo and after the meal, head back to the tea shops to sample Wuyishan’s best Oolong teas to aid your digestion.
