| Throughout
history, Shenyang was successively governed by Han
and Hui and Manchu. This blend of cultures also
influenced the local food. Mouthwatering Laobian
Dumplings (Jiaozi) at the Laobian Eating House (on
Zhong Jie, close to the Imperial Palace) and the
traditional Laoshanji-Haicheng pies (Xianbing) are
the most famous local dishes. Close to the border
with North Korea, Shenyang cuisine has included
numerous Korean dishes: Barbecued beef, cold noodles
and kimchi are served at the Meiahli Korean BBQ
on Kunming Bei Jie off Zhongshan Lu with reasonable
prices of around RMB50 for two persons.
Western fast food:
The top hotels have very good western food: buffets,
cafes and bakeries. American fastfood chains have
outlets in the downtown area as on Zhonghua Lu,
Taiyuan Jie and Zhong Jie. The Hongkong Delicious
Food City on Qingnian Lu is a little bit pricey
but offers a large variety of food.
