There is a saying in old Beijing: "Beijing's snacks are in Xuanwu, and Xuanwu's snacks are in Niujie." Walking on Niujie is an extremely "difficult" street, and you have to swallow hard every step of the way... Yibao Lotus Leaf Rice Cake, Baiji

Rice cakes, Dashunzhai Sugar-roasted Turpan Restaurant, Hongji Snack Shop, Jubaoyuan Shabu-Shabu Mutton... .... If you don’t eat something, won’t your conscience hurt?

1. Baiji Rice Cake Per capita: 28 yuan Address: Enter the Hutong Niujie Halal Beef and Mutton Supermarket (next to Niujie Mosque). The famous Baiji Rice Cake should be regarded as the most delicious rice cake in Beijing. You must queue up during the holidays.

As a time-honored brand in Niujie, Baiji Rice Cake has one store in the halal supermarket and one at the entrance of the input alley.

Their rice cakes come in three types: glutinous rice, purple rice and glutinous rice noodles.

The bean paste is sweet but not greasy, and if you eat it carefully, you can even taste the red beans with grains!

It has a soft, chewy texture and must be eaten with the sweet and slightly sour hawthorn cake on top. The taste is super harmonious!

2. Manji Shaobing Per capita: 13 yuan Address: Enter Hutong No. 3 Manji Shaobing has the least variety. The signature sesame sauce and salt and pepper are always sold out first.

The skin of the freshly baked sesame cakes is crispy but not crumbly, and the sesame seeds can't be removed easily. Break them apart and knead the salt, pepper, sesame paste, and five-spice powder evenly into each layer. Eat two of them in one bite while they are still hot, and you still can't stop.

But in fact, sesame seed cakes are not just the focus of their restaurant. What’s more delicious is their fried chicken drumsticks, which are palm-sized drumsticks, wrapped in batter and deep-fried until they become scaly and crispy.

Sprinkle with chili powder and cumin, bite into the skin, and the oily juices of the chicken legs will pop out.

The taste is much stronger than KFC McDonald's.

3. Baoji Bean Juice per capita: 20 yuan Address: No. 27, Niujie Input Hutong Douzhier is a unique traditional snack in old Beijing. It nourishes the stomach, detoxifies and clears fire. It comes standard with burnt rings, authentic Beijing taste, and raw bean juice.

You can buy it and drink it directly. The freshly fermented soybean juice will be a little sweet, and the taste is not as strong as the brewed one. It is suitable for friends who are new to soybean juice.

Baoji Bean Juice Shop is a time-honored store with large quantities and affordable prices. It is also open 24 hours a day, so there will be no long queues during peak periods.

It takes people who know how good bean juice is to appreciate it, but everyone knows the deliciousness of fried red fruits and fried strawberries.

4. Xiangyunxuan per capita: 59 yuan Address: Building 5, Xili, Fayuan Temple, Niujie Jiaozi Hutong. When you go to his house, you must order the Mendeng meat pie. The meat pie is still steaming freshly out of the pan, and after taking a bite, there is still a little juice.

It flows out and is oily but not greasy. If you have never tried it before, you must not miss it.

There is also braised tofu with Chinese cabbage. The fragrance of the Chinese cabbage and the tender aroma of the tofu are delicious together. The taste of the sauce is not too salty, just right~ 5. Yao Ji Belly Pork Per capita: 75 yuan Address: Niujie

No. 107, Building 11, Xili District 2, is the only place in Beijing that sells tripe buns. It is on the first floor of a residential area and has a handwritten door number, but the taste will definitely not disappoint. The tripe buns here are divided into lamb, beef and haggis.

, mutton and beef both taste equally tender. The boss’s cooking skills are superb, and the meat is processed without any smell. The tripe soup is particularly chewy, and the soup base is very thick and fragrant!

The taste level is also very rich 6. Mu Yixuan Sheep and Scorpion Per capita: 90 yuan Address: Southeast corner of Niujie intersection, No. 4 Niujie This Beijing snack naturally has sheep and scorpion. I recommend the small pot with slightly spicy food, which has no sheep scorpion at all.

The mutton has a tangy flavor and the meat is tender. It tastes really enjoyable. Every piece is full of flavor. It’s delicious!

One of my favorites is the fried belly. The cut fried belly is dipped in coriander and mahjong. The taste is so fragrant.

Cold preserved eggs are also a good cold dish. The preserved eggs are very chewy and plentiful.
