dinner at source in beijing

this was the primary reason for wandering into the hutong.  this place served one of many incredible meals i ate while in china.  i had heard it many times before i went there, but after experiencing it firsthand, i have to agree that "chinese" food in the u.s. is a poor imposter.  i'm not even sure how they can call it that.  i tried ordering sweet and sour pork everywhere i went, only to draw blank stares from waiters.  i wanted to believe it was because i was speaking in english but, in fact, i think i was just asking a stupid question.  and no, they don't have such a thing as fortune cookies in china.  another made up american food item.
