I am willing to queue no matter how long it takes｜This is the ceiling of Beihai seafood🌹I have been in Beihai for a few days. I have been queuing for dinner for three days because I want to eat at their restaurant. [Yuexiang Kitchen (Qiaogang Store)] Many affordable restaurants recommended by Beihai locals, many celebrities have eaten here, and I was deeply impressed at once! The environment is a little noisy, and the floor is slippery, so be careful, but the waiter is enthusiastic and took the time to peel the shrimp for me in his busy schedule. 1⃣️The stir-fried octopus is very much in line with the preferences of us Hunanese people. It is especially delicious when it is spicy. Because of this dish, I ate an extra bowl of rice! 2⃣️I was fascinated when a large bowl of fruit was served. There was fruit on the top and sweet and sour shaved ice on the bottom. It was so happy to have such a bowl after queuing for so long! 3⃣️Salt and pepper mantis shrimps. The mantis shrimps are as long as the elbows. When they are served, I am already drooling. The meat is very tender. There is no problem except that it is difficult to peel. This restaurant has a high cost performance, large portions and affordable prices. What is more gratifying is that you can find such a delicious restaurant in a tourist attraction. It deserves to be the king of queues! Those who are coming must pay attention and line up early. If you haven't taken a number at meal time, I really don't recommend you to come, because you may have to wait for more than three hours. 😄
The queue king is really worth the wait! Their food is so delicious
We arrived in Beihai on the first night and came to Yuexiang Kitchen to get a number and queue up that day. However, there were so many people that we didn’t get a seat in more than three hours. But we had to give up and came to grab a seat before 10 o’clock the next day. This time we finally got in half an hour.
I looked at the menu and the neighboring table. Their dishes are really large and the prices are very affordable. Because we came for seafood, we ordered some mantis shrimp, squid, and oysters. Six dishes cost more than 200 yuan, and three people didn’t finish them.
The service quality is quite good, and the serving speed is relatively fast. The seafood is taken out of the aquarium on the spot and cooked. It can be served in 20 minutes. This efficiency is really 🐮
I think the fried squid with spicy sauce tastes the best. The spiciness is off the charts, and the heat is very well controlled. The squid is very chewy and the spiciness is perfectly integrated! With a bottle of ice 🍺, isn’t this what a comfortable seaside life should be like in the evening? ? ? I also have to praise the mantis shrimp. I thought it would be empty inside because of its big shell, but after peeling it, I found that I was overthinking. The shrimp meat was full and the salt and pepper taste was not too strong.
Queue King is really worth waiting for. It tastes good and is cheap. If I have the chance to come to Beihai, I will come back to eat it.

💟When I arrived at Qiaogang, I found that there was only this shrimp cake shop. There was a long queue and each person was limited to 10. After queuing for such a long time, I decisively gave up and went to eat other things first.
⏰When it was almost 22 o'clock in the evening, there were finally few people in front of the store, but it was still the most crowded store nearby, so I bought it directly to eat. The staff of this store had an orderly division of labor and was very efficient.
The original fried shrimp cake is really worth it, crispy and soft, the shrimp cake just out of the pot tastes great, must be eaten while hot, it's so delicious. As a traditional snack in Beihai, it is still worth a try. You can buy it later, and there will be fewer people in line.
I took it to the 24th building next door to eat sweet soup. Three northern tourists asked me what I was eating? What was it called? Where did I buy it? I answered them one by one, and then I saw that they also sent representatives to buy it.
It must be eaten while hot. It feels greasy when it is cold. There are a lot of shrimps, but it seems a little bland.

🍀A popular dim sum shop on Qiaogang Fengqing Street, featuring the signature barbecued pork buns. The dough is especially well-made, the buns are soft and delicious, and the loose meat filling is very fresh and fragrant. There are often queues, and many local residents come to buy with big bags.
🐭 The barbecued pork buns are 6 yuan each, and it feels like the people of Beihai are so rich. According to the recommendation of a friend in Beihai, I came to the Qiaogang Liangji Headquarters and bought a few to try. The dough is soft, the barbecued pork filling is delicious, and there is a salted duck egg yolk. The taste is sweet and salty, and it tastes good, but it feels expensive. It is suitable for occasional tasting, and the key is that it is very greasy!
On Qiaoxing Road, across from Qiaogang Market, it says breakfast, but they also serve buns in the evening. The buns are huge. The barbecue pork buns, which contain barbecue pork and half an egg, are 4 yuan each and are delicious while hot. The raw meat buns, which contain meat, water chestnuts, wood ear mushrooms, and half an egg, are 3.5 yuan each. The custard buns are 2.5 yuan each.

I like this down-to-earth dining environment the most. It feels like a food stall. Haha, it is actually a food stall. The food is very affordable, tastes great, and the portions are big enough. We all ate very well.
Last night, I believed that the evil taxi driver took my whole family to a rip-off restaurant. We spent 530 yuan and the whole family was not satisfied! Today I found this restaurant online, which is said to be a college student’s startup. The whole family had a good meal for 300 yuan. I will come to this restaurant next time if I have the chance!

You can try Quanjiafu, the ingredients are very rich, if you want to eat noodles, come here to gather
👍🏻Hot List:
Beihai: ❤️ Xiao Shi Guang (Qiaogang Branch) NT$55 per person. We ordered a meal for two, plus a seafood fried noodles and an oyster omelet. Since we were with children, they didn't ask for any of the dishes to be spicy, so the overall flavor was a bit lighter, but we all enjoyed it. The seafood fried noodles were generous with the seafood. 😆 Oh, and they have a delicious, rich coconut milk!
❤️ Ye Ye Da Ji (Qiaogang Branch) I ordered a mango sticky rice cup. The mango was incredibly generous and large, making it very refreshing. The sticky rice also made it very rich. 🥭
❤️ Zhou Ji Crab Noodles NT$17 per person. We each ordered a bowl of crab noodles. They had a variety of toppings, all of which were excellent. The broth was fresh and refreshing, and I felt really good after eating it. 🫶🏻
❤️ Jiu Wu Tang Shui Pu (Qiaogang Fengqing Street Branch) NT$10 per person. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and clean, and they have a wide variety of sweet soups. We tried the tapioca sweet soup, the mung bean and kelp sweet soup, and two other options, all of which were quite good. The mung bean and kelp sweet soup actually tasted like mung bean paste, with no kelp flavor at all, and the mung beans were perfectly cooked. It was super delicious and I think it was the best way to relieve greasiness. The tapioca sweet soup is made with tapioca in sweet soup. It was my first time trying tapioca, and it had a wonderfully soft and sticky texture. It's worth a try! 😸
❤️ Fresh Noodle House (Zhongshan Road Branch) 20 yuan per person. Located on Beihai Old Street, Fresh Noodle House lets you choose whatever seafood you want. The selection is extensive, and the seafood looks fresh. Overall, the portions are reasonable, and the broth is very delicious. I finished a whole bowl! 😂
❤️ Bo Zhu Gong Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea (Huamao Tiandi Branch) 10 yuan per person. While eating at Xianfenzhijia, I ordered milk tea takeout. The pearls were a great deal, and the tapioca pearls were chewy and healthy, making it safe for kids. 🧋
❤️ Yuexiang Kitchen (Laomato Branch) 60 yuan per person. I think the food is pretty good, and it's not overdone due to its popularity. It's definitely worth a visit. 🤭 We ordered spicy squid and other snacks, and they were all delicious. 😎
❤️ Youjian Ice House 60 yuan per person. We ordered crab, a snail (I forgot what it was), oysters, and scallops. I think the value is great, and the flavor is good. Their fried ice cream is also very famous. I tried the mango shaved ice, and it had a really rich mango flavor! Pairing the spicy seafood stir-fry with the mango fried ice is a perfect combination! It's a great way to cool down and relieve greasiness!
❤️Guiyang Market: This is a popular market for locals. Seafood is about 30 or 40 yuan cheaper than at Qiaogang Market. It's also quite large, with a variety of stalls. If you're looking for seafood or local specialties, you can take an electric scooter there. 🤓
❤️Fried skewers: 15 yuan per person. Beihai's fried skewers are fried and then topped with sauce, which I think is quite good. The shop we went to is next to Qiyu Fried Skewers, so you should definitely give it a try. 😲
Nanning:
💖 Tanxi Night Market: Datang Rolled Noodles, Perilla Duck Legs, Gotu Kola Sugarcane Juice... Tanxi Night Market has tons of stalls, so try whatever you like. They have a lot of Nanning specialties, and the environment is great—not messy or messy. The streets can be a bit crowded and crowded. 🍕
💖 Fat Uncle BBQ (Yufeng Back Street Branch): Nanning-style fake loquat barbecue, generously sauced, sweet and spicy, very good. The dried tofu is especially delicious! 💖 Yingshun Laoyou: The Laoyou noodles were incredibly flavorful, with a sour and spicy flavor that was very appetizing. I devoured a large bowl in no time. The bamboo shoots were delicious. 😋
💖 Jurassic Stir-fried Raw Ingredients: A popular raw ingredient shop in Nanning. I didn't choose Longshangshui because it wasn't open yet. 😂 I think this shop is worth a try. It's not as hyped as it sounds, but the broth is flavorful. The free noodles, porridge, and rice are a great addition to your meal. 😭
🧋: I've tried the popular dishes at Yutiantian, Yongcheng Tea House, and Cui Cha Shi. They're delicious!
👎🏻Blacklist
🖤Qiaogang Market: At noon on the 25th, we wanted to go to the market to buy seafood and then find a processing shop. We found Qiaogang Market after searching on a map. We didn't realize it was right next to Qiaogang Street (if we had known, I definitely wouldn't have gone there!). I think Qiaogang Market has become a place to rip off tourists. The prices of fruit and seafood are generally high, so everyone should be careful ⚠️
🖤 Ganjiajie Lemon Duck (Zoo Branch): The lemon duck at this place I went to nearby was really average! The duck meat was tough to chew and had a bitter lemony taste! The other dishes were also quite small, so the value for money wasn't great. 🥲 I did try the rice noodle dumplings there, though, and they were delicious with their signature yellow skin sauce. You'll want to try them! 😊
🫸🏻 Summary
Guangxi has many specialties, primarily noodles. This time, I only tried seafood fried noodles and Laoyou noodles. There's also a vast selection of other dishes, such as raw rice noodles, pork trotter noodles, roast duck noodles, and more. There's also a smorgasbord of dishes like snail and duck foot stew. Do some research; you don't have to go to those internet-famous restaurants; small street vendors offer their own unique flavors!
Guangxi, I'll definitely be back! 🤩 #GuangxiFood #LocalFood

You can wait until the evening sunset to come, the scenery is unforgettable and the food is also great!
🌴 Xiyu SPACE Restaurant & Bar (Seaview Plaza Branch) | Seaview and Sunset Dining: A fusion of romance and delicious food! 🌅
📍 Highlights
• Unparalleled Seaview Seaview: Located in Seaview Plaza, the restaurant and bar boast first-line ocean views. In the evening, the setting sun casts a shadow over the shimmering sea, creating a truly romantic atmosphere!
• Surrounded by Greenery: Both indoors and outdoors, the restaurant is decorated with greenery, complemented by wooden tables and chairs and warm lighting, creating a relaxing and cozy holiday atmosphere.
• Minor drawback: The view is slightly obstructed by the tall trees nearby, so it's recommended to reserve a window or terrace table in advance.
1. Thai Pineapple Fried Rice🍍
• Pros: The ingredients are substantial, the pineapple chunks are sweet and sour, and the shrimp and cashew nuts are garnished.
• Cons: The Thai jasmine rice is a bit hard and a bit dry, so rice lovers may not be comfortable with it.
2. Australian Grain-Fed Rib-Eye Steak 🥩
• The highlight: The steak is seared to a pink tenderness, the meat is juicy, and the black pepper sauce is fragrant but not greasy.
• Secret way to enjoy it: Serve with the roasted garlic slices on the side for a richer flavor!
3. Vietnamese Bamboo Steamed Shrimp 🦐
• Special feature: The bamboo steamer retains the shrimp's sweetness, and the shrimp meat is firm and chewy. Dipping it in the Thai hot and sour sauce is super appetizing.
• Easter Egg: The bottom of the steamer is lined with lemongrass leaves, adding a touch of Southeast Asian flavor.
4. Mushroom Beef Tartare 🍄
• Creative feature: A mixture of raw ground beef and chopped mushrooms, served with crispy chips, creates a delicious combination of crisp and tender textures.
• Note: Those who are comfortable with raw foods may try this; otherwise, order with caution.
5. Black Truffle Dual-Tone French Fries Platter 🍟
• Highlight: A combination of thick and sweet potato fries, the black truffle sauce is rich and aromatic, and the dipping sauce is incredibly satisfying.
6. Pasta 🍝
• Spaghetti Carbonara: Average, the tomato sauce had a good balance of sweet and sour, but lacked any memorable flavor.
• Tiramisu: Clearly frozen, too creamy, and lacking in moistness, the taste was average.
7. Black Pepper Sausage Platter 🌭
• Pros: Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a strong black pepper aroma, and the salad dressing was a great way to cut through the greasiness.
8. Wasabi Shrimp Balls 🍤
• Controversy: The shrimp was fresh, but the mustard salad dressing was excessive, making it a bit greasy.
• Suggestion: Ask for less sauce, or add a lemon wedge for a fresher flavor.
9. Xiyu Handmade Lemon Tea 🍋
• Refreshing and refreshing: The handmade lemon tea is fragrant and not astringent, making it a perfect pairing with savory dishes.
1. Best time to enjoy:
• Arrive an hour before sunset: Grab a window seat and watch the sun set over the sea.
• Night view: After dinner, head to the terrace where the lights and waves intertwine for a truly romantic experience.
Address: Seaview Plaza, Lianzhou Bay Avenue, Haicheng District

If you come to Guangxi and don't eat snail noodles, it's like a wasted trip. Although it's not Liuzhou, the hometown of snail noodles, the snail noodles in this restaurant are definitely not bad. This restaurant is located in the old city and the store is not big. There are many people at dinner time. I scanned the QR code on the table to order food. I ordered two different ones and they were both delicious. The snail meat and side dishes were sufficient, and the garlic chicken feet were soft and boneless. If you are not satisfied with it, order another serving of snails.
Guangxi's famous snail rice noodle must be included in breakfast. No matter where you go in Guilin, Liuzhou or Beihai, someone will always recommend this dish. So the taxi driver recommended the Snails Restaurant as the first breakfast. It smells bad, but tastes good. The stewed snails are ordinary. Snail rice noodle is added with beef brisket, duck feet, fried tofu and bean curd skin. Of course, Sichuan rice noodles are much lighter. A set meal including sour plum soup is enough for breakfast.

Hehe, I'm back to Shanghai from Beihai today.
This trip was also very happy. Although the temperature in Beihai dropped sharply for a few days, I still felt more comfortable than in Shanghai.
The food was completely suitable, including seafood, snail noodles, snacks, desserts, etc. I ate a lot every day.
Beibei Le is also a must-go store because I like this kind of fried snacks. I have always liked fried chicken tips. There was a small stall near Chenghuang Temple that I always ate. The price increased from 3 yuan for 5 chicken tips to 10 yuan for 8, and the stall behind it was gone.
I ordered drinks, chicken tips and fish to go to Beibei Le. In fact, the fish was just average, but the chicken tips were delicious. I ate them all cleanly.
Beibei Le is a snack bar near Qiaogang. I was brought there by a friend to try something new. There are actually a lot of snacks in Qiaogang, and Beibei Le also has its own advantages. The snacks are cheap and the environment is good.

Too hot, too hot, too hot. Only too hot can describe my mood. When it is too hot, the food tastes bad. In fact, this will also make the business lose a lot of money.
