Chinki Food

August 13, 2014

The Location!

This is the town of Qibao in Southeast China, a tiny water village known for its street food.

'Beggar Chicken'

Each one of these is a whole chicken wrapped in a mud shell then baked. Just crack one open and enjoy!

Skewers and Fake Duck Rolls

Skewers of lamb, beef, giblets and fried chicken, as well as fake duck rolls made entirely of tofu sheets. Tasty and oily.

Chinese Fruit Punch

Chinese drinks made with grass jelly, citrus jello, grapes, watermelon, coconut bits.

Hot-n-Spicy

Also known as malatang in China, these skewers of giblets, tofu, seaweed knots and mushrooms are dunked in spicy soup and eaten out of paper containers.

More punch

This one comes with lemon.

Salted Quail Eggs

The entire cooker is a huge hollowed out salt chunk with hundreds of little quail eggs inside being salted and cooked at the same time.

Steamed Sweet Rice Packets

Little packages of steamed brown rice with dates prunes and raisins in them.

Sticky Rice Cakes

Entire steaming hot sticky rice cakes. The purple is red bean flavored, the yellow durian and the green Chinese medicinal herbs.

Skewers, Chinese fries and Stinky Tofu

Southern Chinese people love their stinky tofu, which are fermented tofu squares fried in oil till they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, then eaten with chili sauce and soy sauce. The smell is... an acquired taste to say the least.
