   Chatang and Youcha


Price: 5-10 yuan per bowl 

Chatang, literally "tea soup," enjoys a very misleading name since it actually has nothing to do with tea. It's actually seasoned flour mush made from sorghum flour or broomcorn millet. The traditional gruel, common to both the Beijing and Tianjin cuisines, is served with brown sugar and preserved fruits. Youcha is another old Beijing flavor, with boiling water poured into the bowl containing the flour fried and added butter to create a past-like mush. It's served with white sugar.
