Li Ji Meat Pie Shop in Baishatun: A Taste Only Locals Know

Hidden away in an alleyway filled with old houses, the owner of Li Ji Meat Pie Shop, a former master baker with over 30 years of experience, still maintains the traditional skillet of pan-frying. Their specialty products include fresh milk mochi, pineapple cakes, century-old meat cakes, traditional salty cakes, traditional pineapple cakes, curry red bean cakes, braised pork and mung bean cakes, and vegetarian mung bean cakes. All cakes are handmade, baked, and sold fresh, without preservatives. The owner is also very generous, offering on-site tastings of generous portions, encouraging customers to eat before purchasing. Complimentary black tea is also provided, a truly thoughtful gesture.
