Great "Eats" in China

Chow Down on Steamed Chinese Buns

One of the most quintessential Chinese foods that you should eat as much of as you can on your trip is the humble steamed bun, otherwise known as baozi in China. While much of Chinese food is regional, the good news is that you’ll pretty much be able to find these wherever you are in the country. Of course, as the Chinese capital, Beijing is the place to find anything and everything, and for our money, the best place for a fluffy steamed bun filled with meat is always from simple street carts in the capital.

Enjoy an Authentic Chinese BBQ in Xi’an

If you are on the hunt for comfort food, you are in the right place, because China is a country that has comfort food in spades, and what could be more comforting than a good old fashioned barbecue? While barbecue is something that you can find right across the country, we think that it’s particularly great in the Xi’an, where there are tonnes of restaurants dedicated to grilled meats. It’s here that you’ll also find delicious lamb, which is not so popular in other parts of the country.

Eat at the Lanzhou Night Market

Almost as soon as you arrive in China, you will discover that the local people absolutely love a market, and a night market even more. These are places to socialise with friends, enjoy the summer weather, eat some wonderful street food, and make other purchases. One of our favourite night markets in the country is the Lanzhou Night Market. This is a great place to have a truly local experience, meet some local Chinese people, and share a meal and a few drinks on the street.

Start Your Day With a Bowl of Congee

As the saying goes, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and never is this statement truer than when you are travelling and you need fuel for all the sightseeing you’ll be doing in China. If you really want to have breakfast like a local, skip the buttered toast and opt for a steaming bowl of congee instead. Congee is essentially a porridge made from rice, but instead of eating it with fruit and honey as you would at home, congee is served up with ingredients such as chicken, pork, and pickled vegetables.
