Oh my! I am hungry now! What to do? I love noodles too. Here in Malaysia, we have different noodles too, prepared and cooked in a variety of ways. One of my favourites is the curry noodles. I also love char kway teow, flat noodles wok fried in dark/or light soy sauce, chilli paste and eggs with cockles and crunchy beansprouts thrown in the mix - Yummy! A comfort food on a dark cold night hehehe. I love mushrooms too, especially shitake mushrooms with their woody and earthly taste. Besides, shitake mushrooms are said to have some medicinal value. And yes, cauliflowers taste delicious stir fried and cooked in the Asian way! This is a well presented "the food I love" food vlog - one yummy temptation after another!

Been to Dadong in Beijing it's next to the Beijing Guoan football stadium. I remember there was a football game there, and the atmosphere was awesome.

I heard from a TianJin friend that old school JianBing stalls don’t stock the eggs or the dough sticks. Instead, shoppers bring their own eggs (crazy right) and buy fresh dough sticks from the next stall over if they want to add those into their JianBing.

[@evelinericksson1611]

I am sure your friend never lived in Tianjin. I was born and raised in Beijing and went to university in Tianjin for four years. Jian Bing is an average breakfast in both cities. Your "TianJin" friend doesn't sound legit.

I find that most of the Chinese foods foreigners introduce are ordinary street foods or snacks. Actually there are a variety of formal dinner dishes in Chinese restaurants. For instance, only Peking duck is regarded as a formal dish in China. Is it because foreigners don’t know the dishes or they prefer ordinary foods?

I have a question. This all looks incredibly tasty, but I wonder if they add coriander to most of these dishes? Since I cannot handle coriander even a little bit, I am worried about not being able to eat a lot of these dishes. Or if you think it would be rude to order it without coriander?
