- Food Travel Log
- At the seaside attraction Sea World in Shenzhen, my heart skipped a beat at the sight of a massive ship. Toasting with Chinese-style skewers, Grilled Skewers (Kao Chuan), was the highlight. The chewy beef and sweet glaze made the beer feel like a wild bull! At first, I hesitated since it seemed undercooked, but an older gentleman next to me reassured me, 'It’s fine to eat.' He was drinking alone too, and we shared a moment of camaraderie that made the beer taste even better.

- Kaochuan is a street food beloved across China, believed to have originated from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. As the name suggests, the main appeal of wet and spicy beef is its juicy and spicy kick. Locally, ingredients are skewered on iron sticks, generously coated with spices, and quickly grilled at high temperatures to create a crispy exterior while remaining juicy inside. This cooking technique wonderfully preserves the natural flavors of the ingredients while capturing the aroma of the spices. It also pairs excellently with beer, and once you try it, you're sure to become hooked. The Sea World Plaza, originally developed from a decommissioned navy ship in 1973, is a tourist destination that offers new discoveries with each visit. However, it seems you may have been a bit quick to judge the skewers as undercooked. Maybe you were hesitant until the man next to you pointed it out, but thanks to that, you made a new beer buddy and temporarily eased the loneliness in a foreign land. It seems like you are relying too much on the man, yet I admire the author's vitality in making new friends at the Sea World to soothe their solitude. Next time, I hope you check the doneness yourself and take the step to become a full-fledged gourmet blogger!
