We start with breakfast at a local eatery which serves freshly baked flatbread. You can watch the dough being rolled out which is filled with spring onions and topped with sesame seeds before it's slapped on the inside of an oil drum oven. We order a flatbread with an omelette sandwiched inside and wash it down with a cold doujiang or soy milk. Fresh, doughy and completely more-ish.

We head to the suburb of Daqiatou next and slurp down a plate of cold sesame noodles. Wheat noodles are topped with a thick sesame sauce, shredded cucumber, pickled cabbage and chilli. It’s the perfect thing to be eating on a hot day. It’s full of varying textures and flavours.

Onwards to our next stop for a bowl of rice topped with pork knuckle which has been slowly braised in soy. Served with egg, pickled mustard greens and some blanched choy sum- this is one amazing bowl of food. The pork is tender as anything and the richness of the meat is balanced by the pickled and fresh vegetables.

We then head to a famous stall which sells cong you bing- spring onion pancakes. A wheat flour dough, dotted with chopped spring onions is flattened and then cooked on a hot plate. Hot, flaky and fragrant- this is one savoury pancake worth eating. It’s very much like a roti or a paratha which you’d find in Malaysia and Singapore (sans spring onion).

Our final stop is to a local eatery which specialises in bawan- Taiwanese meatballs. A loose mixture of pork mince is covered in a sweet potato and rice flour mixture before being steamed. The meatball skin is gloopy and soft whilst the meatball is full of flavour. A couple of squirts of chilli sauce are the perfect accompaniment.
