Dalian, China: Must-Try Delivery Foods!
Words & Photos © Yullo
When you're exploring China, there's one experience you simply can't miss:
delving into the world of delivery food!
Just like in Korea,
China boasts an incredibly robust delivery culture.
During my recent trip to Dalian, I decided to try ordering delivery food myself,
and I was genuinely surprised by how much more convenient it was than I expected.
The variety of options was incredible,
and what truly stood out was the impressive speed and efficiency of the delivery system.
Today, I'll be sharing some of the delivery dishes I personally ordered and enjoyed
during my Dalian adventure, one by one.
In China, delivery orders typically arrive within 30 minutes. Talk about speedy service!
I stayed at the Novotel Dalian, and guess what?
A hotel robot actually brought the food right to my room!
It was incredibly convenient and felt like something out of a futuristic movie!
1. Huajiade Dumplings
The first menu item I ordered was
Huajiade Dumplings.
Huajiade Dumplings is a chain,
so you'll find many branches throughout China.
They even provide four types of sauces:
chili oil, soy sauce, vinegar, and minced garlic.
The dumplings arrive in a two-tiered container.
It's best to transfer the dumplings from the top lid
and then pour your sauces over them.
I ordered the shrimp and sea urchin dumplings,
and both the wrappers were thin and the fillings delicious.
My family agreed they were all incredibly tasty!
2. More Yogurt Avocado Smoothie
This is a beverage that's been quite popular
among Koreans lately when visiting China.
It's the Avocado Smoothie from More Yogurt.
Real avocado chunks are generously blended into it.
And apparently, it's great for digestion! 😉
The rich, creamy flavor of avocado really shone through.
Personally, though, I wasn't a huge fan because of the strong milky taste.
3. Domino's Pizza Egg Potato Pizza
It's pretty amazing how all the delivery food in China
arrives in these disposable insulated bags.
The menu item I ordered was the Egg Potato Pizza.
I'd heard it's a menu item exclusive to Domino's Pizza in China,
so I absolutely had to try it on my trip.
They even provided disposable gloves,
which made eating it super convenient.
It looks like a regular potato pizza, but...
...it has egg inside, and it was
surprisingly sweet and delicious!
Since you can only taste it in China,
I highly recommend giving it a try if you visit!
4. Heytea Grape Cheese Foam
Heytea is so popular that they even opened a store
in Hongdae (Seoul), which says a lot about its appeal!
Honestly, it's not mind-blowingly delicious,
but it has that subtly addictive flavor that keeps you coming back for more.
And with real grape pieces inside, it offers a delightful chew that makes it even more enjoyable!
At Novotel Dalian, when you order delivery food, a hotel robot will bring it directly to your room. This makes receiving your food very convenient.
When you order Huajiade Mandu, a total of four types of sauces are provided: chili oil, soy sauce, vinegar, and minced garlic. We recommend taking a dumpling and pouring the sauce over it.
Domino's China's Egg Potato Pizza is a special menu item that can only be ordered in China. It's similar to a regular potato pizza but contains sweet egg, giving it a unique flavor.
More Yogurt's Avocado Smoothie contains real avocado chunks. It has a rich, savory avocado flavor and is known to help relieve constipation.
