BF, AF, and I went with SL to the Dirt Market "Panjiayuan Market" for a second week. We first stopped off at our favorite noodle restaurant. I have no idea what the name of the place is. We were introduced to this place last week by our driver. It is sometimes visited by tourist since the Pearl Market is close by.
We each order different noodle dishes. BF's is not quite in a broth and she has to add some paste to the dish for more flavoring.
The strange thing is that the meal starts out with some strange sweet concoctions. We did not get the yellow pudding-like dish this time so we asked Shen if he could order it. We could not remember the name (it is something like "sam pu jian"). You can see it at the bottom of the picture. You just scoop it up and eat with chop sticks (we are getting better with these things but picking up slimy things or round objects like nuts are still hard for us).
Next we go off to the Dirt Market. This place is very strange. Getting into the gates and parking is the first challenge, thank goodness we do not have to deal with that. AF bought some very strange chinese locks. BF bought a wooden bowl for knitting supplies. 
SL bought some jade bobbles and got some pictures to show his wife of ceramic vases so they could make lamps from. We will be back. More pictures can be seen in the following link: http://good-times.webshots.com/album/553747279YWvVPA
