In this city full of surprises, I've been thoroughly spoiled with delicious food.

🥩 Qingmuli BBQ at Daming Food Street: The name is a bit of a mouthful, but it's a hidden gem! The owner himself revealed the secret of "Qingqing Grassland Ranch," with fresh meat directly supplied from Xinjiang. The in-house grilling service is incredibly convenient, but be sure to arrive early to avoid long queues. 🌸 🍲 Bailaohui Maodu Zhengxiang Branch: Generous portions and great value, with an average cost of just sixty per person, you'll be rolling out the door! The meat and tripe are the highlights, and the herbal jelly and self-serve rice (tips are separate) are a bonus. Top marks for value! 💯 🐔 Xiao Jiaotian Tianji: A master of both pickled pepper and dry pot frog dishes. With one pot, you'll have eleven side dishes to enjoy, all-you-can-eat style. Pure bliss! 🥩 Ni Xue at Dongjiekou Dongbai B Building: The beef cooked to medium-rare is incredibly tender and the two-person meal is a feast for the taste buds! The Huangshi restaurant in Building A is equally impressive, but remember to visit during off-peak hours! 🍵 Lishanshan Tea House: The Mo Shang Qing Ti is my absolute favorite, perfectly complemented by a plate of spicy and salty peanuts. With branches in Nanmendou and Yantai Mountain, don't miss their new product tasting events! 🍰 Haihai Coffee in Changle: Small but charming, with different mini-cakes every day. The perfect companion for an afternoon of reading or chatting. 🍚 Changle Babao Ice Rice: Refreshing and cooling, a summer must-have. Every bite is a sweet memory!
