Zha Jiang Noodles – Minced Pork in Bean Sauce with Wheat Noodles Recipe

By Mijune

The sauce is meaty and flavourful, full of umami from the fermented bean. The noodles are thick and chewy, and the cucumbers add a cooling contrast in flavour and texture. It’s one of my go-to dishes when dining at Northern style Chinese restaurants.

Long’s Noodle House 小龍記麵家 (Shanghainese/Chinese Restaurant)

By Mijune

Some of their dishes I could find just as good if not better at other Shanghainese restaurants in Metro Vancouver, but some dishes were unique to Long’s. Long’s definitely has signature dishes and ones they have perfected, and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

New Peace Chinese Restaurant (Peaceful Chinese)

By Mijune

In the context of downtown Vancouver I would say this is a solid place for authentic and traditional Chinese or Shanghainese food. However outside of downtown Vancouver I would say it does get better. This would be standard for many good places specializing in the same cuisine.

Beijing, China – Eating Bugs (Spiders, Centipedes) in Donghuamen Night Market!

By Mijune

Entomophagy is the consumption of insects as food. So while I want to be calm about my exploration of eating bugs, it would be a bloody lie to tell you I wasn’t nervous. To be honest I was nervous-excited.

Beijing, China – Peking Duck Restaurant Hunt in Beijing!

By Mijune

I’ve watched The Amazing Race and I’ve played Duck Hunt before on Nintendo, but this was a combination of both. It was my last night in Beijing and I was determined to go on The Great Peking Duck Hunt in Beijing.

Beijing, China – Chinese Islamic/Muslim/Halal Food

By Mijune

Well what do you know? The first restaurant I ended up trying in Beijing specialized in Chinese Islamaic cuisine. There is actually a significant amount of Muslims in Beijing and this was authentic late night local eats.

Szechuan Delicious Restaurant

By Mijune

What a surprise! A tiny hole in the wall located in a strip mall and I was impressed! Szechuan food is known to be very spicy with bold and aromatic flavours. Garlic, chillies, peanuts, and sesame are prevalent and there are seafood and meat options. The place is rather authentic and legit! A great find.
