Hello, I am an old Beijinger and born in the 1980s. I will tell you carefully and recommend others to eat snacks. I love them.

1. Huguo Temple snacks are available everywhere, but Huatian Food, which has been under the unified management of the state, makes the food taste like big pot rice, which is not authentic.

The Donghuamen Night Market in Wangfujing is rubbish. Not only is it expensive, but it also sells grilled squid and other messes. This is done to cooperate with tourism, and time-honored brands do not go here.

2. Longfu Temple now exists in name only, and many time-honored brands have left due to relocation.

3. If you want to go, go to "Jiumen Snacks" (there is a detailed introduction in Baidu Encyclopedia, so I won't write more). Many time-honored brands have moved in due to the demolition of Qianmen and the reconstruction of their original addresses.

The reasons for recommendation are: (1) initiated by the Beijing Traditional Snacks Continuation Development Association (2) located on the northern edge of Shichahai, a famous scenic spot in Beijing, to the west of Soong Ching Ling’s former residence, which is the Houhai area.

After eating, you can stop by Soong Ching Ling’s Former Residence, Nanluogu Lane, Houhai, Yandai Xiejie, and Drum Tower. (3) Famous time-honored brands include: Small Intestine Chen, Baotou Huoshao, Baodu Feng, Cheese Wei, Tea Tangli, Yueshengzhai, and stuffing

Cake Week, Deshun Zhai, Rice Cake Money, Sheep Head Horse, Tofu Naobai, Enyuanju, etc.

4. In Jiumen snacks, there will also be some messy things like grilled oysters. This is not a Beijing snack, so ignore it.

5. If you don’t go to Jiumen for snacks, then go to “Qianmen Dashilar + Menzha Hutong”. Qianmen has a newly renovated pedestrian street. Although some time-honored restaurants have been moved out to Jiumen due to the reconstruction, there are still many left, but they are relatively expensive.

And when you go to Qianmen, you must go to Menzhan Hutong, because some of the old Laozi restaurants in Jiumen Snacks are in Menzhan Hutong.

The problem is to walk more. 6. So the recommendations are: (1) Jiumen Snacks.

(2) Qianmen Dashilan + Menzhang Hutong. Let me tell you more: (suggestions I wrote to others before) As an old Beijinger, I recommend you some of the most distinctive ones, but first I have to tell you that due to the influence of Manchu culture, there are many snacks in Beijing.

All are halal.

In addition, snacks are for the poor, so more and more modern people who come to travel say that Beijing snacks are not delicious. It is simple, because in the past, the food eaten by the poor would not be too high-end, and they could only find ways to make these leftovers.

It has to taste better.

1. Bean juice: Whether you like to drink it or not, you must try it.

(I love bean juice the most. When it comes to taste, I tell you without reservation that no matter the color or taste, it is the same as rag water.) 2. Paduer: The most recommended snack in Beijing.

3. Enema: I deeply understand how poor people fry starch and pretend to be meat sausage, haha.

4. Stewed and roasted: It is not from the Hui people. It is all pig waste. The smell of the waste is strong, so you don’t want to eat it by mistake.

5. Sheep offal soup: The soup made from sheep offal, and the stewed and roasted meat all reflect that the poor cannot afford meat and can only eat offal.

6. Noodle tea, donkey rolling, ai wo wo, rice cake money, and pea yellow: noodle tea is corn batter plus sesame paste and salt and pepper. Donkey rolling, ai wo wo, and rice cake money are all sweets made of glutinous rice. The rice cake is different from the water-milled rice cake in the south.

Traditional type (one layer of glutinous rice, one layer of bean paste, and then repeated layers of this).

Pea yellow is a dessert made from peas, in paste form.

7. Fried liver: In fact, it is more like a bowl of stewed large intestine thickened with starch, plus some liver.

It can also reflect the helplessness of the poor.

Authentic fried liver must be eaten with steamed buns.

8. Cheese: Wenyu cheese and Wei cheese are both acceptable. The flavors have new developments. Original flavor and almond are the traditional ones.

9. Baishui Sheep's Head: It's also very miserable. You can only eat the sheep's head, and all the mutton goes into the palace.

10. If you still have a stomach, then have some steamed rice dumplings (this is for the poor to satisfy their cravings, so the skin is thin, and the meat filling is big. Modern people may find it greasy, so it is recommended to dip it in vinegar). There are many others, and good snack bars are becoming more and more popular.

The less.

Hey... The main dish in Beijing is the imperial meal, which is served in the palace, hahaha.

In addition, Beijing cuisine and Beijing cuisine are mostly a kind of deception by scholars and tour guides. As the imperial capital (the same is true for other Chinese imperial capitals), the emperor's hometown is generally not from Beijing, so the dishes from the emperor's hometown and delicacies from around will be brought to Beijing for the emperor and the nobles to eat.

Therefore, the imperial capital must be a hodgepodge of dishes from all directions.

The so-called Beijing cuisine is imperial cuisine, which is a collection, improvement and re-creation of famous dishes from all over the country.

The Qing Dynasty is the closest to us, so the Manchu halal characteristics are also reflected in many snacks.

I just saw that you wanted to talk about the roast duck, now I’ll add: 1. Quanjude: As for Quanjude, you’d better go to the front store, but the queues are quite serious.

Quanjude is a hanging oven roast duck.

2. Bianyifang: I recommend the store at Chongwenmen in the district. You can also visit New World after eating.

Bianyifang is roast duck in a simmering oven.

And during the roasting process, the inside of the roast duck is constantly filled with soups of different ingredients.

Bianyifang has a longer history than Quanjude, and can be said to be the true origin of Beijing roast duck.

3. Authentic Peking duck with a long history has been put on the market. In addition, Dadong roast duck is also very good. Dadong roast duck has also had some improvements, but the tradition is well maintained.

Any other roast duck restaurants are just nonsense. Some roast ducks may be delicious, but they are no longer traditional techniques. The traditional techniques are the stuffed ovens of Biianfang and the hanging ovens of Quanjude.
