ChinaShenzhen Huaqiangbei Commercial Street
- Food Travel Log
- In search of excitement, I went bar-hopping at Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen's electronics district, in the middle of the night. At a promising spot, I toasted with Grilled Cold Noodles (Kao Leng Mian). The chewy noodles paired perfectly with the crispy green onions, giving a delightful crunch. The salty seasoning, reminiscent of curry spices, made the beer taste incredible. Though the place was safe and the food excellent, with no real excitement, I thought, 'Oh well, it’s still great.'

- Kao Leng Mian, originally popular in cities in China's northeastern region, is especially beloved as a staple among students and night markets. The typical preparation involves grilling the noodles on a hot plate, adding eggs, scallions, leeks, and sauce, and finally seasoning it with chili sauce or spices. Huaqiangbei Commercial Street, an iconic electronics district in Shenzhen known for the latest electronic gadgets, allows one to enjoy this dish, which truly reflects the diversity and unity of Shenzhen. By the way, Huaqiangbei is a vibrant place often referred to as China's "Silicon Valley," but by night, its hustle and bustle calm down, offering a delightful time to enjoy local cuisine. The author of this gourmet blog, seeking excitement at midnight yet ultimately settling into a food stroll with a beer in hand, resembles a foodie explorer. Immersed in the soothing Shenzhen night, make sure not to fall asleep as if you've forgotten something!
