Night food of Zhuhai

Usually when you go out to the club after several hours of partying you become hungry. In most countries in the world you are doomed to go with an empty belly, or visit McDonald’s at best. Not in China.

Usually when the clock strikes 10 PM tents are being raised at various streets and tables being prepared with different snack foods. These foods include calamari on stick (Squid), Pork/lamb meat on stick, Fishballs, cabbage in soy sauce, fried dumpling on stick and much more. These nightly food stands are usually open between 10 PM and 2 AM.

Each foodstuff comes with a price of either 1 or 2 kuai so its inexpensive. Beer to that (usually a local brand or Tsingtao) comes at a price of 4-5 kuai.

The places where the food is served are very simple with plastic chairs and plastic tables in the open air. Still, it has a nice atmosphere due to the fact that Chinese people hang around there, not only “tourists”.

You can also eat snack foods at the bars but its usually a lot more expensive. For example a portion of French Fries in MTC club would go for 20 kuai which is the equivalent of Ten lambsticks at a nightmarket stand.

McDonald’s in China is open 24/7 and offer food for the hungry after a bar night. The price is usually 20 kuai for a Big Mac set.

Personally I prefer the Nightmarket food.

If you have a chance, try the duck or goose in soy sauce, cuttle fish, and peanuts in soy sauce. These are eastern Guandong specialties and should be available in the night markets. There are other more exotic stuff too, but you should try the basics first. Oh, scrambled eggs with oyster is great !!!

I forgot to mention that you can also order Oyster. However they didnt serve it with scrambled eggs though.

Thank you for the advise though I hope I will try these soon.
