The area I stayed in was the old part of Shenzhen, so it’s not that there were no good restaurants, but I can’t say I went to any spectacular ones either. Still, pretty much anywhere I walked into was cheap and tasty.. and Jimi Dumpling House was the cheapest and tastiest of the lot, so I went there a lot.. It’ll show up a few more times on this blog..
Cucumber
It wasn’t cut neatly, which actually gave it a better texture.
Tofu salad
In place of a salad..
Fried rice
A bit bland. I guess it’s meant to be eaten with a saucy dish.
Stir-fried eggplant
Delicious, of course.
Shredded potato
Tasty, as always..
Guo bao rou
Crispy and delicious. The thing is, none of these cost more than a few dollars a plate.. Compared to Korea, I’d say it’s about a third of the price.
Fried fish
Less greasy than I expected, and tasty.
Stir-fried beans
Fava beans (soramame) are something I rarely see in Korea, but they turn up everywhere in China. Truly a kingdom of ingredients.
Another thoroughly satisfying meal. Not knowing the language well, and with the food being so cheap, I end up posting on the blog rather casually.. but well.. I guess that’s the charm of travelling in China..
