We’re in Beijing, China's capital, and of course if you know us we LOVE food! So todays episode is all about chinese street food.
Here, street food was once actually sold on the street, but in recent years, the government has been cracking down on curbside vendors, citing food safety and cleanliness issues.
Now, most street food can be found in tidy food courts that largely cater to tourists. But that doesn't mean there's a lack of good eats. We went and picked the five best dishes.

To be honest, after living in Beijing for more than 20 years, the locals really won't go to the dumpling restaurant you went to. In fact, you don't have to listen to some comments in the app, because many comments are evaluated by foreigners rather than locals. In Beijing, if you want to eat snacks, you must go to Niujie Street is full of 100-year-old restaurants and snacks, and most of them are muslim food. They are paticularly hygienic and clean. Locals people will definitely go anywhere to eat. Whether it is takeaway or canteen food. Don't miss the snacks in Daoxiang Village. You can often see them on the street or in supermarkets and shopping malls. You can pack them back to China. There are quite a lot of snacks. Locals in Beijing must buy them for the Lunar New Year. Again, don't miss Niu Street food.
In China, there are shared bicycles or shared electric bicycles everywhere. When you walk around, you can scan the QR code to pay and ride shared bicycles, which is very cheap.
46 yuan, this dumpling restaurant is designed to entertain foreigners. At the same price, 40 dumplings can be eaten in any dumpling restaurant. All Chinese dumplings are made with fresh vegetables and meat, otherwise the filling will separate the water in the vegetables due to the presence of salt. Any small roadside restaurant can provide top-quality dumplings.
I understand ❤️
it is not right.Mr shi,the very famous dumpling restaurant in Beijing.The price is more expensive, but there are many strange flavors that are difficult to find in other dumpling shops. So the price is also expensive. We often go, but still feel to go a little less, the taste is generally expensive.
@@user-cf9mf5ut9l As a native of Beijing, I don't know which dumpling restaurants have the best reviews. As locals, we don't pay attention to online reviews because there are too many marketing methods on the internet (these marketing costs are charged from your meal expenses). The best evaluation is to visit the community where locals live and see if there are many locals dining in restaurants.
@@OTWD_ytno who post that might in a small city，thats a normal price for fast food in big city
@@OTWD_yt and i have been living in BJ for 7 years had no idea of that Mr. SHI place before you got there....
The transport system, the food, the people, all so wonderful, thank you both for bringing this to us here in the UK, so grateful for how wonderful you are showing China, I feel like getting on the next plane to Beijing. ❤️ 🇨🇳
You are welcome mark ❤️
you should!! just go and enjoy... ignore your western media, otherwise the whole worlds evil and out to get you
You will be pleasantly surprised, especially by the contrast between what you experience and what you have been fed by the "mainstream" media. I have listened to/watched the BBC for over 30 years and completely gave it up a few years ago. It's too biased.
As a Chinese studying in the US I always enjoy watching these videos of westerners touring in my country. Bc they got fresh eyes but at the same time very relaxed in China. I wish I could be that relaxed when walking on the street in the states but unfortunately as an Asian I can’t. Here is like a jungle I always need to beware of any hidden dangers. But in China your nerves can be fully relaxed like lying on your bed. That’s the most important freedom isn’t it?
Glad you enjoyed it! We’re really really loving it here ❤️
Respect for your courage to venture into a complete different country without any language help. But hell, China is your best choice if you want to do so. We Chinese people might be the most warm-hearted people to foreigners in the world.
Yes absolutely 👍 💯
Recently, if there are foreign friends who want to travel in Beijing but are not familiar with the place or have concerns, you can find me, I can show you around Beijing for free (my English is not very good, communication needs translation software), I have lived here for 3 years, big and small scenic spots have been to
Love your honest opinion of China,following you from Scotland ❤
It no problem 😌 we really appreciate it thank you ❤️
欢迎来北京！💖第一个方形的糕点里面应该是绿豆馅儿的。第二个你们问的叫“冰糖葫芦”, 是烤糖裹着山楂果。山楂酸酸的微甜，非常有助于消化。✨💖😊
谢谢❤️
@@OTWD_yt 不客气哦！旅游快乐！🤗✨🌷
Love your videos, China looks great. How about a "How to China travel" video? Like what APP to use, things you learn would make China travel easier! It'll be popular & help lots of people! ❤😊
We will definitely do one towards the end of this series. We’re still learning ourselves
Welcome to China, we welcome any friendly friends to come here and enjoy the delicious food, beautiful scenery, and rich historical and cultural heritage. If you have time, you can search and view local war history museums and monuments. Most cities have related sites because we were killed by the invading Japanese army in the past, 35 million people. However, Western news will not mention this matter. I will deeply thank every friend who is willing to help us remember this humiliating history, because Japan has never regretted it, war criminals are still worshipped there, and most Japanese people do not admit their harm to our aggression. Thank you very much, and I wish you a pleasant time and a smooth journey.
Thank you 😊 ❤️
Happy to see you exploring China, it's such a huge country, with vastly different areas.
Remember to visit Jiuzhaigou and Ürümqi before you leave, so you can see the beautiful nature of China, as well as the outrageous lies by the western media about Xinjiang.
Have fun~
Really loving it 💯
that is most likely hawthorn , which come in large and small varieties
Thank you 😊
@@OTWD_yt Yes, it’s called “tang‘hu’lu”, a snack made with fruit(hawthorn) and rock sugar, a Beijing snack that has been around for hundreds of years
Thanks for your objectively and honesty. I went to London and it was so hard to find a public toilet. Love to watch your adventures.
You mean "objectivity"?
You’re welcome 😊❤️
You must try Beijing Roast Duck in Beijing. You will love it.
Nice, must try
btw dat dumplings store not authentic
Peking duck?
We will keep watching 😊👍
No, you must eat douzhi in Beijing, the Chinese name is豆汁
You missed the drum performance there.😮😢It happens every hour.
It happened when we go back down stairs we could hear it 😂
Your China trip videos are getting better and better, and so is the weather.
Thank you we think so too glad you enjoying them 😊❤️
@@OTWD_yt Welcome to my hometown Foshan next time, a laid back mega city with yummy foods, long history and Kungfu.
that sweet treat is called tang hu lu, the one you had was made from Hawthorne berries
Thank you 😊
It’s the traditional tanghulu,
Because tanghulu recently became trendy in Japan and South Korea but I don’t see them having hawthorn tanghulu
OG Beijing dumplings are simply boiled in water, 水饺. You can enjoy the freshly made wrappers that way. Maybe you'll have a chance to try some before you leave Beijing.
Yes hope so thank you 🙏
22:04 it's hawthorn.
Thank you 😊
U guys can compare your king or queen with the Chinese emperor. Buckingham palace vs chinese palace. That will be a interesting comparation
Yes your right that would be interesting. ❤️
12:52 The sqaure dessert is Matcha flavor. Please give audience a close-up footage of its name next time because I have watched this clip many time to figure out what flavor it is. There are many food look like similar in China, so it's challenging to recognize them simply from their apperances.
Ah ok 👍 love macha.
That sweet treat is called tang hu lu, That small vendor, because it is a personal payment code, is not a merchant, and does not have merchant qualifications. Therefore, she cannot accept credit card payments from foreigners, but payment from Chinese people is acceptable. But if you spend money in ordinary stores, you don’t have to worry, you can pay. You can travel around China with a little cash on hand. If your SIM card is a British card with international roaming enabled, you can directly log in to social Apps + Google in China using your mobile phone without using a VPN.
你说错了，她那个是微信的二维码，不是支付宝
20:46 You are wrong, that is because the vendor shows the wechat Pay QR code, while the blogger uses Alipay, so they can' t complete the payment.
got one of the payment apps going 👍😅
just keep in mind there are two main apps, the blue qr is for 'ali' and the green is for 'we'. many street vendors don't have a proper business account so they can't accept payment linked to a foreign credit card. the 'we' app is thus more common as small sellers are just using their personal account to accept payment. I'm just calling it ali and we so yt doesn't tag me for spamming and thus deleted 😅
Thanks for the info ❤️
1:33 "The stairs are high and steep" (golden sign)
Well observed🧐
楼梯高陡
😄
First time in my life (40yo) seeing this phrase
It was fun watching you guys try different foods in Beijing 😊
It was fun for us too ❤️❤️💯💯
Nice video ❤ and thank you for showing the real China. Hope you have a good time ❤
You are welcome 🤗
Love your videos and expect more. 👏👏👏
You will get many many more ❤️
所有的外国博主来我们大中华来旅行，我必须得支持。
11:55 The label seems to say "refreshingly sweet matcha" for the square pastry you bought. This type of pastry is a traditional Beijing delicacy called "仙豆糕" (literally translated as "fairy bean pastry") or "虎皮饽饽" ("tiger-skin bun", referring to the golden crackled pattern on the surface). The baked/roasted outer layer is made of flour and corn flour and should be crispy if freshly made, and the filling is often made of variously flavoured green/red bean paste, sweet potato, custard, etc.
21:55 The fruit is hawthorn.😉 It's the most classic and iconic fruit for "糖葫芦" (literally "candy gourd", referring to its shape). The tartness of the hawthorn pairs well with the sugar coating as Reanne said, so is believed to be a good appetiser/digestive in China. Nowadays, there are also many more "innovative" candied food skewers, particularly in Northeast China. Not only will you find candied strawberries, apples and bananas, but you may also be surprised by candied peppers and even pig feet!😅 Adventure on!😁
Thank you so much 😊❤️
The ice cream is worth to try! The one nearby the pets shop
Thank you 😊
The red fruit in the middle with sour flavor is hawthorn, it is the most popular street food in Beijing.
This sugar string 🍬 is called ”sugar gourd“ made of hawthorn.
So good 😋
I like your experience in Beijing. But as a boy grown in Beijing, I have to say we never consider those shops and restaurants around tourist area as local. And that covers almost all the area inside the 2nd ring road. Those food can be ok though, but still very different with the daily life of average people. So maybe it would interesting to try something close to a random resident community. Of course that’s much cheaper too.
Oh Ofcorse thank you 😊
green filling was probably made from mung beans (very small green beans used for bean sprouts as well)
Thank you 😊
Looks like you are having a good time. 🎉🇮🇪
We’re really loving China 🇨🇳
Your videos have been great as I’ve explored Beijing.
In fact, I’m at Mr Shi’s right now because of you! The woman serving in the video still remembers you!
We appreciate you Jason ❤️ thank you so much. That’s actually made our day. Where you from?
@@OTWD_yt Traveling from the US. Btw, dumplings were awesome, with the fried curry ones my favorite!
Hi Reanne and Ben, you may already know this: the most famous food in Beijing is the "Peking Duck" ("北京烤鸭“). There are many restaurants in Beijing that have it on their menu. The other famous dish is the "Lamb Hot Pot" ("涮羊肉“）。 These are two must-have dishs while visiting the city.
Hey 👋 thank you so much 😊
In China, Beijing is the city of centre of North China
Shanghai is for east south
Guangzhou/shenzhen is the south
Xi’an is for northwest
Chengdu is for west
Hope you guys have a chance to visit.
Next we will visit shanghai then gangzhou and Shenzhen
The fruit is hawthorn, sometimes they also put sweet red bean paste in it to make it taste sweeter. Have a good time in Beijing! 😊
Thank you 🙏
the lady speaking with Jinglish is so lovely
💯💯❤️
12:50 those are mung bean paste, a very common thing in China, not as common elsewhere. Chinese people tradiontally believe mung bean can cool down the excessive heat in one's body, hence sweat dishes like mung bean paste and cold mung bean soup are popular particularly in summer time. I like mung bean soup very much, it does do the job, almost like a tea for summer
Thank you 😊
that's not strawberry, might be hawthorn. Love you guys try street food, and be honest
Thank you 😊 we love to try street food
Close to there are Houhai lake, Nanluoguxiang, Beihai park - hope you visit these places : )
Ok 👌🏼
Apart from the disputed Xizang and Xinjiang, Sichuan and Yunnan have the best natural scenery in China Chengdu is probably the most tourist-friendly Provincial capital city in China. Jiuzhaigou or Kangding are only a few hours drive from Chengdu.The ancient town of MOXI磨西, located at the foot of the 7,500-meter Minya Konka, is worth a visit. In addition to the snow-capped mountains and huge glacier landscapes, the hot springs there are also very good
💯💯
@@OTWD_yt You can go to Xinjiang at will. Because the altitude in Tibet is too high, many ordinary people will suffer from hypoxia and even life-threatening conditions. Therefore, tour guides usually lead the tour, and it is not recommended to travel alone.
你可以去中国任何你认为有争议的地方，你会发现跟你在北京上海一样，游人如织，安全祥和

don't underestimate these old houses on the roadside. they are all quadrangle courtyards worth hundreds of millions of CNY.
Yes I heard that.
By the way, the best known restaurant chain for the Peking Duck is "全聚德", and the most well known place for the Lamb Hot Pot is "东来顺“， both having many locations throughout the city.
Thank you 🙏
@@OTWD_yt Recommended to go to the four seasons Minfu（四季民福）, this is the most affordable, Quanjude Hepingmen store is the best, the other stores are expensive and not good!
Gee, at 6:42, you walked past a restaurant that sells Chaogan'er (Beijing-style Yorkshire pudding), known for its delicious stewed pork liver and intestines. What a pity you missed it!
Amazing 😋

and the red fruit : hawthorne
Ah ok thanks 😊
Medicinal Uses and Indications. Hawthorn is used to help protect against heart disease and help control high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Both animal and human studies suggest hawthorn increases coronary artery blood flow, improves circulation, and lowers blood pressure.
hawthorn
Welcome toChina .Thank you for your fair and impartial comments on China Chinese people welcome all friendly international feiends to visit China
Thank you! 😃 and you are welcome 🤗
It is Hawthorn by the way with sugar coating, which is traditional Beijing Sweet. You got the right choice~
Yes! Thank you!
You were awwwing to the kittens but they looked so unimpressed 😂
Haha I know 😂
the square snack you get is made of mungbean.
Thank you 🙏
Very interesting and real video, China is big, there are good and bad aspects, experience what you really feel, I wish you have a good time
Thank you 🙏
mr shi ，omg ，we always go there but it is more expensive than others and very nominal testing.
Hi guys，actually that "dumpling" is not real Chinese dumpling, yes i think that more like taco, or something new dumpling for foreigners. but don't worry, just enjoy your China travel~
Ok thanks 🙏
It is funny that the lady would always try the foods first and pass them to the man🎉😂
Reannes is in charge 😂
The pastries you had should be some kind of creative fusion, made from mung beans and other ingredients. Those are definitely Chinese style, but not an authentic one (simply because there is no definition of “authentic” for these new pastries)
So good 😊
That square pastry is filled with mung beans.
Thank you 🙏
@22:12 That's hawthorn berries. One of the super fruits that can lower blood pressure and cholesterol. The Candied Hawthorn is a traditinal Chinese snacks
22:13 The fruit is hawthorn😃
Thank you 😊
it is delicious , good choice
👍👍❤️❤️
哇哦，博主会回复视频下的每一条评论👍！需要提醒的是中国有很多景点因为游客太多需要提前预约，为了更好的旅行体验最好提前做足旅游攻略！❤
当然这是我的工作😊❤️
You can tell which store is for foreigners and which is for locals
Yes true.
I think the Fruit on the stick is Chinese Hawthorn.
Thank you 😊
very nice video👍👍👍
Thank you 😊
It would be super hot in the summer. If you don't like the heat, do not go there in the summer.
💯❤️
Chinese Hawthorn Fruit - Sugar-coated haws Yummy
So good! 😊
If you are still in Beijing, could you please try the auto drive taxi? I heard they have many. also curious the cost if have a EV than a gas vehicle.
👍👍❤️❤️
Japan’s and Korea has tanghulu street food but they don’t really have any of the traditional tanghulu
In China there’s traditional hawthorn tanghulu with rice paper wrapped in it
Don’t know if the panda park’s changed but there’s a panda park in Chengdu
Yes I’ve heard about the panda park in chengdu 😊
if you want to eat pk kaoya.I recommend Yulin Roast Duck from You'anmen

It looks like the air quality is very good.
It’s a very clean country
Wowwww... looks impressive... makes me wanna visit Beijing too someday... my most recent experience travelling to HK wasn't great... as a HK-Canadian, I actually felt really ashamed letting my kids see how rude/aggressive HK people are in most places like restaurants/public transit..... I do realize people in China have been gradually improving their standards!!!
We have been to Hong Kong about just over a year ago and have to say mainland China and HK are very different. The people are different Hong Kong is more multicultural and it’s a little more expensive than the mainland
@@OTWD_yt well ya but if you looked closely, the people in HK in general are more uptight and anti-social. You walk into any store or restaurant, you almost never get any warm greeting and after paying, hardly any thank-you. So in this regard, China is doing better!!
Those fruits are called hawthorn.
Thank you 🙏
Nice Hawthorne Fruit

Hope you have good time in China.

The fruit is hawthorn. That's the authentic one. The one with strawberry is not the authentic.
😊 Thank you
There are so many different places in China, and you must definitely go to Xinjiang in the west China,must go and see the completely different customs and scenery there, and tell the world how beautiful Xinjiang is. It's not exactly what Western media claim.

Chinese believe people should exercise
People definitely should exercise ✌️
Just one point, if there is no people in the restaurant, that would be a warning sign to me. Do you agree?
Most Chinese people think there is no good food in Beijing, 99% of the food you will taste is from different parts of China, because it is the capital of China. I would advise you not to stay too long in Beijing and not to focus on Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen like other youtubers do. There are a lot more cities to visit than these four big cities, and I guarantee that China's progress is not only reflected in these four cities.
We want to see many different cities in China too. At the moment we’re trying to build our audience to make each visit financially viable for us. ❤️
@@OTWD_yt Don't listen to him. You must visit Beijing and Shanghai when you come to China for the first time. Because these are representative cities of China. Chinese people have been to Beijing and Shanghai too many times, so they feel tired of them. But you just arrived in China, there is no need to go to some small cities. If you are already familiar with China, it is still good to choose some other cities. I recommend Hangzhou and Kunming. Because the climate is good. I am disgusted by the behavior of some Chinese people in the comments area who despise Beijing. Who doesn't go to the capital when traveling abroad? They just want to enhance the status of their hometown by belittling the capital.
beijing worth 1 week holiday
@@OTWD_yt Try to get some sponsorship from some Chinese brands. Just an idea. 🙂
The sugar coated fruit is called hawthorn berries.
Thank you 🙏
42rmb for 12 fried dumplings ? that is really over pricing in Beijing. Should around around 30rmb
Apparently there “famous” though perhaps that’s why there slightly over priced
Yah it’s a bit overpriced I agree. But if it’s taste good it’s worth the money. 😂
hi,waiting you come to shanghai
We will be coming
thanks sis

Most dangerous place in China: night market. All your money in pocket is gone and you bring more than 10 pounds fat in your stomach to home. 😂😂😂

The lady wasn't telling you her candy was "Beijing #1", she was asking if you only wanted one candy. 😂
Ah I see haha
I like museums
Me too
Beijing is known as a "food desert". I have lived in Beijing for more than ten years, but I have never liked any local food in Beijing. There are too many kinds of food in China. The tastes vary greatly from place to place. Relatively speaking, southern food is lighter in taste. If you can't eat spicy food, you can't eat at least half of the food.
