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!
