Chuarrrrrrr
Chuan (pronounced “chuar” here in Beijing) are delicious meat skewers that are available all over Beijing. At 13 cents a piece (1 RMB), they’re a great cheap snack. The meat is typically fatty lamb (I’ve also had chicken); the seasoning is a nice mix of salt, pepper, and zi ran (a special Xinjiang seasoning, mostly chili powder and cumin). They’re roasted over charcoal grills, and served nice and hot. Delicious!
Those in New York can try some in Chinatown, although you’re paying 8 times their price here in Beijing (and 16 times the price in their native Xinjiang).

You can paying 40 times in Xi’an(西安). but size is smaller.
