(Chuar restaurant, Gu Lou street)
Chuar, Chuan'er, or 串, is Chinese style skewered meat, like kebab. Chuar is from Xinjiang, a northwest mostly Muslim province. Squid, pork, chicken, (meat, heart feet, embryo, wings, cartilage) mantou, (a kind of rice bread) tofu, bell peppers, mushroom, etc. can be chuar-ed, but most ubiquitous is lamb coated in cumin seed and red pepper. Pictured is a particularly popular Chuar dian in a old hutong home by the Gu Lou area. (The Gu Lou are the old drum and bell towers of Beijing.)
