Chinese Breakfast: 30+ Street Foods from North & South, Which is King?
What do Chinese people eat for breakfast? Sweet or savory soy milk? Chocolate fried dough sticks or rice noodles soup? In this video, I traveled through morning markets across northern and southern China and tried over 30 authentic breakfast foods. From Tianjin's Guobacai, Beijing's Fried Tiger, to Suzhou's rice pancakes and Zhangzhou's Guobianhu – and even chocolate fried dough sticks and Qingming herb rice cakes! Southern breakfasts are delicate and fresh, while northern ones are hearty and filling – which one will be crowned the king? Crunchy fried dough sticks, chewy glutinous rice cakes, warm offal soup, or tender tofu pudding? Every bite carries the taste of local memories. What's your favorite Chinese breakfast?
