Getting treatment at the
Chinese Traditional Medicine hospital is a popular and usually
inexpensive alternative to western medicine, but a couple of long
waits are involved – first when when you take your number and wait
to see the doctor, and second,while you are waiting for your
prescription to be filled. We noticed quite a few people taking
advantage of the lull to pick up a package of 'aizi xian bing' - the name means something like short stuffed buns - from this
little storefront on the west first ring. I don't know any other
place that sells them, but they are supposedly a Wuhan import.
There is usually a lineup at the
window. Flavours are red and green bean, coconut, and sesame.
They are fantastic when fresh and warm, and my favourites are green bean and
coconut. I tried to buy sesame filling once and was told they were
not good, not sweet enough.
