Guiyang Street Food

Lunch

First we met my wife’s friend for lunch at an open air spot. First course was beef soup and these amazing beef skewers with a strong smoky flavor. The beef soup comes with lots of cilantro and crispy peas. The soup is made to be poured inside each crepe filled with vegetables and tofu. It was delicious!

The next course was a fried smashed potato cake with chili powder and sauce. This was very crispy and sweet and spicy. The gray jelly is Taro and supposedly has negative calories and is good for weight loss.

Potato Chips

We were stopping at a beer tap room next, so I wanted to try some of the potato chips that are sold in carts along the street.

Craft Beer

We arrive at the trip smith tap room, we got a delicious beef dish with lots of herbs and we tried three types of beer. I liked the new england IPA, but the Oolong candy was the best.

Rice Crust

The next spot we stopped at was a cart outside that served rice crust with nut and sesame filling. The man skillfully created a crust from a ball of glutinous rice dough and filled them with toppings, all in about one minute!
