Had a wonderful dinner at Siji Minfu Roast Duck (Gugong). Totally enjoyed the food.
• Roast duck quality: The roast duck of Siji Minfu is famous for its crispy, fragrant and tender skin. The duck skin is shiny and translucent, fat but not greasy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The roast duck is freshly roasted, and the whole duck is pushed over and sliced on the spot, which smells very fragrant. Some customers especially recommend the combination of duck skin and white sugar, which is really greasy.
• Environment and service: The environment of the restaurant is elegant, and the decoration style is antique, which sets off the scenery of the Forbidden City. The waiter is considerate and kind, warmly welcomes every customer, and prompts how to eat roast duck, making the dining experience more profound. The service quality is very good, and each signature dish will introduce the selling point, and the dining environment is also quiet.
• Diversity of dishes: In addition to roast duck, Siji Minfu also offers other rich dishes, such as honey tender shrimp, boutique Beile barbecue, etc.
• Reasonable price: Siji Minfu's price is relatively affordable compared to other similar roast duck restaurants, and the price is very reasonable.
• Queuing situation: Due to the popularity of the restaurant, there are many people queuing, but you can queue up online in advance. Due to the popularity of the restaurant, you may need to wait for a while.
• Processed duck racks: duck racks can be made into soup or salt and pepper. A processing fee is charged for making salt and pepper. You can also ask the staff to pack and take away. The salt and pepper fried duck racks are very crispy and the salt and pepper flavor is very fragrant.
• Other dishes: Other dishes of Siji Minfu have also been recognized by customers, such as nuts and olive oil mixed with seasonal vegetables, which are sweet and sour, light and refreshing; old vinegar peanuts, which are very crispy, sour and sweet, and the more you eat, the more fragrant it is.

This is a famous noodle restaurant in Beijing. It is located on the bustling Qianmen Street. The fact that it can stand in this place where every inch of land is valuable shows that this noodle restaurant is very popular. It is indeed well-deserved. There are people waiting for a seat at the door as soon as we sit down here. It seems that we are quite lucky. The restaurant is not too big or small, but it is very clean and tidy. It is decorated in the old Beijing style. The wall introduces the history and influence of the noodle restaurant. Many celebrities have also come here to eat noodles. His noodle is delicious, the noodles are very crunchy, the dishes are complete, the saltiness of the sauce is just right, but the diced meat feels a bit hard, and the noodle soup is free to take. What is especially pointed out is that the Laba garlic here tastes great, and it is free and unlimited. The store is really real. The service is excellent, and every aspect is in place. It seems that the service staff of the brand noodle restaurant is well-trained. In short, it is definitely worth the trip to come here to taste the noodle.
The famous Zhajiangmian restaurant is located at the north entrance of Nanluoguxiang in Dongcheng District, Beijing. You can see it as soon as you enter the north side. Maybe because it is a famous restaurant, there are many people, and there is a long queue at the door. The store is very bright.

A very popular old shop. The people who go there every day are very nice. If time permits, it is recommended to take a number in advance. There are many recommended dishes. The mutton tastes not smelly at all, the portion of meat is large, and it is very satisfying to eat with sesame sauce. The service is very timely and comes as soon as you call. The environment is a bit noisy, but overall it exceeded expectations.
Copper pot mutton hotpot is very popular in Beijing in recent years. Some stores use cloisonné small pots, and some still use traditional carbon pots. The sesame sauce is well seasoned, the sesame cakes are delicious, and you often have to wait for a table at mealtime. Their top brain and yuanbao meat are good, and the price is acceptable. You can eat it occasionally.

🔥No.1 on the list of must-eats in Beijing! Legendary Shabu-shabu in Niujie for 30 years
If you come to Beijing and don’t eat this, it’s a wasted trip! It is the leader of Niujie - 30-year-old brand Jubaoyuan👏The founder has always insisted on this fresh lamb for 30 years
Why is his family so awesome? The secret lies in the word "fresh"! He has a natural pasture in Xiwuzhumuqin Banner, Inner Mongolia. The lambs are naturally raised for 180 days. The lamb has a milky flavor and has a "Green Food" certificate. It is super safe to eat🥰.
You must order high-calcium lamb meat when you enter the store. 🫶🏼The crispy bones are mixed with tender lamb meat, and they are shabu-shabued in a copper pot for 8 seconds. Pick it up quickly, dip it in the secret sesame sauce, and put it in your mouth. The taste is rich💥.
💗There is also lamb sun-fried pork, which is fat and lean like marble, a full plate, tender and fragrant,‼ ️Every bite is full of lamb flavor, absolutely amazing
Don't forget the staple food, Yipin Shaobing, take a bite, full of sesame fragrance, crispy and crumbly, not hard the next day, I always pack a lot🤤. Paired with the store's special yogurt, which has honey, sour and sweet, refreshing and greasy, absolutely amazing!
His Niujie main store has a long queue every day, remember to take a number online in advance and eat at off-peak hours. After eating, stroll around Niujie and feel the fireworks of old Beijing. This trip is definitely worth it💨.
#The founder's 30 years of persistence is only for this delicious lamb#Beijing flavor passed down from generation to generation #You must try it when you come to Beijing Niujie Jubaoyuan#My city must-eat list#Old Beijing copper pot shabu-shabu meat#The most authentic old brand#Wuzhumuqin lamb#City grass home
[Environment]
Must-eat food in Beijing: hot pot, roast duck. The first stop was Jubaoyuan, a popular hot pot restaurant. I arrived in Beijing at 12 o'clock and rushed to the hot pot restaurant at 14 o'clock. I thought that there would be no queues if I missed the meal time. As a result, there were still many people queuing at the door. Fortunately, it only took half an hour, which was acceptable.
The hot pot restaurant is on the second floor. After going upstairs, there was a lot of noise and fireworks. It was a typical hot pot restaurant.
[Service]
There were too many people, and the waiter wanted to step on the wind and hot wheels. Don't think about any service. It's good to help you serve the dishes. For the rest, it's better to do it yourself.
[Taste]
High calcium lamb, hand-cut fresh lamb. The amount of meat is sufficient, and the lamb flavor is strong, that's the taste! If the schedule is not too tight, I can eat one meal every day. Highly recommended!

Finally, I came to check in with my friends ☕️The most beautiful coffee shop in Shichahai - Tangfang Coffee, which is very beautiful. The coffee shop can overlook Shichahai and the small alley under the Drum Tower at the same time, and you can also overlook the Guomao CBD in the distance.
The location of the coffee shop is also easy to find, on the third floor of Qingyun Building next to Yinding Bridge. The coffee shop is divided into two floors. The most classic shooting point is in the corner of the third floor, which overlooks the scenery of Shichahai. The most favorite is the design of a swing rocking chair. It is really too comfortable to lie on it when the sun sets. The fourth floor of the coffee shop is purely outdoor. It is recommended to be in the city in the afternoon and sit outside when the sun sets.
The most classic drinks here are of course [Naughty Molecules] [Tangfang Soda]: I personally prefer Tangfang Soda, and the peach sparkling water tastes more.
Here, there are tourists and rickshaws coming and going downstairs, and in front of you is the rippling lake and the floating cruise ships. Life seems to have slowed down.
The environment is very good and the taste is authentic, especially on a winter afternoon, basking in the warm sun, admiring the winter Shichahai, drinking a cup of Cappuccino with tiramisu cake, it is really comfortable.

Beijing restaurant exploration | Authentic Jiangnan cuisine that you can eat without leaving Beijing!
You don’t have to go to Jiangnan, you can eat authentic Jiangnan cuisine in Beijing.
I accidentally discovered this Jiangnan restaurant ~ Courtyard Jiangnan Cuisine, which is just over the Sanyuan Bridge.
As soon as I entered the door, I was attracted by the layout inside. The environment really felt like I was in the Jiangnan water town.
There are many private rooms in the store, and each room has a different design and its own name. We chose the cruise ship layout area, which felt like dining on a boat.
Next, let’s talk about the dishes. The ones worth recommending are 👉 👉
✨ Steamed Zhoushan small yellow croaker with snow vegetable and minced meat
This dish is very characteristic of Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine. The small yellow croaker is delicious and the meat is tender. It is recommended to try it!
✨ Jiangnan cooked drunken crab
It is full of crab roe and tastes so delicious!
✨ Shrimp, sea cucumber and quinoa fried rice
The amount is quite large, the shrimp is very large, and it tastes delicious.
✨ Seasonal Fruits
It puts fruits in ice, which gives a fairy-like feeling and tastes cool and refreshing!
It is worth mentioning that this place is very suitable for taking pictures. No matter how you take pictures, they will be good. Friends who like it should go and check in!
🌸The environment is so beautiful🌸
🌸There is an apricot blossom pavilion as soon as you enter the door, with white curtains hanging down, so beautiful that you can directly take pictures of real-life Hanfu
🌸Walk a little further in, following the waves projected by the entrance avenue, a Jiangnan boat with warm lights comes with the waves, as if literati and scholars are boating and traveling, and masterpieces are born in minutes
🌸Further in are private rooms, from exquisite and small double rooms to washing machines with dining tables The large room of the tea table has everything.
🌸The private rooms are named after the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, which is very artistic.
🌿The dishes are also very fairy-like🌿
I especially like their "drunk crab".
The wine is warm, sweet, and full of crab roe.
I bought a whole one by myself, so happy.

Very popular restaurant, I go there occasionally because parking is really inconvenient. There is no queue on weekdays, but there are still many people. The waiters are busy and there is no service. There is nothing I can do about it because they are so popular. However, I think Sam's crayfish is also good, so I usually come here only when friends from other places ask to try it. Although it is delicious, I still prefer a quiet restaurant with good service.
Hu Da is already a brand landmark in Guijie Street, but now there are four of them, because there are four branches of Hu Da in Guijie Street. It is suitable for a large group of people to come here, lively and hot.

Although the "Hand-cut Lamb's Brain" is hand-cut, the meat is very good. It is cooked in a few seconds after being scalded in the pan. It has a thick texture that you can eat with big mouthfuls of meat.
"Yuanbao Meat" is a lean part of the lamb, but it does not feel hard to chew at all. It is recommended for those who like lean meat.
"Sugar Garlic" The sugar garlic is broken apart. You don't have to do it yourself, which is great!
[Service] The waiters are very good, and they add water and serve dishes very quickly. Basically, they respond to requests. There is a self-service condiment table, and you can take chopped green onions and coriander by yourself. Friends who love beef and mutton can come! In short, this restaurant is highly recommended to try!
A time-honored shop for clear soup. The sesame cakes are really cheap, only one yuan each, and the seller is conscientious. Well, I bought a small one with sesame sauce flavor, which was densely packed with sesame seeds and made me feel full. The price is worth it.

🌈It was almost 11 o'clock when we came out of Beihai Park. We searched for nearby food and saw that Heyan meat pie was on the must-eat list of food in 2023. Xiaohongshu also had many recommendations. It is a Beijing restaurant that you will not miss even if you order with your eyes closed. We immediately took a taxi there.
-
🔖A small restaurant in Beijing Hutong with a very high cost performance, just downstairs from a residential building. It can be said that you can eat as much as you want for 60 yuan per person. We arrived at the restaurant at 11:30 and there were already many people queuing at the door. If you don't like to queue for a long time, you can choose to share a table. Fortunately, we waited for half an hour before we got a small table. The facade is simple, the interior is simple and bright, and the seats are a little tight, but the business is really hot❗️

📍Coordinates: No. 14 Xila Hutong (250m from Exit C of Jinyu Hutong, Subway Line ⑧)
▪️The geographical location is excellent, and Wangfujing Business District is nearby. You can go shopping after eating.
-
🌈 Choice barrier Directly group buy 128 double set meal, the dishes are very large, two people can't finish it, it can be said that 4 people are just right, the cost performance is super high.
▪️ Kung Pao Chicken Legs: Every table must order ❗️ Chicken leg + peanuts + dried chili, the meat is firm and tender, the taste is sweet and sour with a little spicy ~ Sisters who like sweet and sour taste, must go for it‼ ️
✔️ Heyan Meat Pie [Beef]
🈶️ Beef, mutton, pork, three kinds, I chose "beef". Highly recommended 🎉 is the kind of thin skin and large filling, the meat filling is full and not loose, the beef is full of fat, the pie skin is slightly crispy and tough! The hidden way of eating in Beijing is to dip it in vinegar when eating.
▪️ Hot and sour melon strips: refreshing and greasy, sweet and sour taste
▪️Hot and Sour Soup: hot and sour, appetizing, rich ingredients 🈶️eggs, fungus, tofu, shredded pork, 🈵️a big bowl, several bowls in a row.
▪️Qianlong cabbage: crisp, sweet and sour, it's just cabbage with sesame sauce, I don't like it.

Beef patties: The meat is rich and tasty, and the meat is large. You can feel the freshness of the meat as soon as you eat it. Don't be fooled by the open top. The meat filling is very neat and will not fall out. It would be better if the skin could be baked more.
Sesame sauce and sugar biscuits: Eat it while it's hot. The skin is thin and crispy. The sesame sauce is sweet in one bite. The sweetness is just right, not too sweet.
Hot and sour melon strips: The melon strips are pickled for a long time, especially flavorful, sour and spicy, and are a perfect match for meat patties.
Millet porridge: The millet is glutinous and fresh, suitable for meat patties.

Luzhu has always been my favorite Beijing snack. Today, I finally checked in at this must-eat restaurant.
Compared with other street-side Luzhu restaurants, this one is larger, and the store is bright, clean and tidy. The overall feeling is quite good.
For Luzhu lovers, the taste of this store is especially worthy of praise, especially the high-quality Luzhu, which is delicious and delicious, absolutely the top level in Beijing.
You can find this store when you come out of Xinjiekou Station on Metro Line 4. You must come to Europe when you have time!
Good! I like it very much! I fell in love with Beijing Luzhu from then on. We arrived in Beijing at night, and this restaurant was open until 2 am, so considerate. Call them and tell them that we will close early and you can come to eat. The Luzhu has a strong flavor, and the soup is absorbed by the tofu and fire cake. The large intestine is clean. There are pig lungs, etc. in it. The fried noodles with soybean paste are also delicious. I went there three times in a week in Beijing. Haha
