Fried battered peanuts. ADDICTIVE & the BEST dish at PEKIN.

Can't go wrong with honey roasted.

At least they didn’t take this away!

I love that they warm their nuts just before serving,

Nice accompaniment to the lemongrass fizz.

Fancy almonds by naked truth

Get this! There're chestnuts in this as well!

Like snacking on a crisp fall day.

At quite possibly the poshest Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been, courtesy of a fabulously wealthy relation. They’ve got the prettiest flatware I’ve ever seen at any Chinese restaurant I’ve been.

Warming your nuts (literally): always a good idea.

Savoury-sweet party nuts for today’s impromptu gathering. Sweetened with honey, spiced with a tarka of cumin, amchur, Tikhalal chilli powder, a sprinkle of nigella seeds, and paired with a peach beer cocktail. Took all of 45 minutes.

Smokey but a tad too salty.

Braised peanuts and chestnuts, but mostly peanuts.

From what I can gather, these cracker nuts have various flavor coatings that include plum powder, sesame, shrimp, green seaweed, kelp, cheese (ok, did not taste that one coming), squid, etc. etc…in the manner of King Brynner.
