Hidden Halal Chinese Food Beijing: Xinjiang Meatball Soup, Nai Lao Wei Snacks & Hua Mao Restaurant
Reposted from the web
Summary: A hidden halal Chinese food supplement for Beijing, adding Xinjiang meatball soup, Nai Lao Wei snacks, Hua Mao restaurant dishes, and other reader-recommended stops while preserving the source facts.
Following our previous guide to halal food in the capital, readers let us know that the Uzbekistan restaurant Shashi Castle at the Saint Angel Hotel in Hujialou has closed. This issue continues with more unique restaurant recommendations.
Unless otherwise noted, all restaurants listed here serve alcohol. It is a pity that it is hard to find unique halal restaurants in Beijing that do not serve alcohol. By international standards, halal certification is not granted to restaurants that sell alcohol.
Also, if any friends (dosti) doubt whether a restaurant's ingredients are halal, I suggest saying 'Bismillah' before eating. A staff member's ethnicity does not guarantee the food is halal, and many Hui Muslims living in big cities may know less about the faith than Han people living in ethnic enclaves. Here is the evidence, taken from Sahih al-Bukhari:
1. Xinjiang-style meatball soup (wanzi tang)
It was originally in Dongsi and later moved to Chaowai SOHO. It is very popular and the taste is truly good.
The beef tripe is a bit spicy, so be prepared before you eat it.
Order a bowl of meatball soup and it comes with two steamed flower rolls (huajuan) and a side of kimchi. The flower rolls are soft and fluffy, and very delicious.
The peppercorn beef (jiaoma niurou) tastes great.
Address: Second floor, Building B, Chaowai SOHO
2. Nai Lao Wei
This is fried fresh milk (zha xiannai), a Beijing specialty snack.
Almond tofu (xingren doufu), a great treat for cooling down in the summer.
If you have eaten at Wenyu Cheese in Nanluoguxiang, I suggest you try Nai Lao Wei on Niujie Street. The quality of this famous Beijing snack is worth a try. Note: This restaurant does not sell alcohol.
Address: Room 107, No. 202 Guang'anmennei Street (west side of Dazhong Electronics)
3. Huamao Restaurant
A new-style halal small seafood restaurant.
The food is prepared delicately, and they also serve spicy hot pot (mala xiangguo).
Signature seafood rice
Dongting Lake fish head pot
Spicy cabbage (la baicai), cold and refreshing.
Potato shredded shrimp balls (shusi xiaqiu)
They also have spicy crayfish (mala xiaolongxia), with an average cost of about 60 yuan per person.
Address:
Level B1, Pedestrian Street, West District, Changying Lugang City.
4. NAIL Russian Restaurant.
This place specializes in Russian food. It is small, and most of the customers are foreigners.
I usually think of Russian food as having large, greasy portions, but this place does things differently with small, light dishes.
The average cost is about 80 yuan per person.
I came here on Valentine's Day, and the manager gave three roses to every woman dining in the restaurant.
Address: Shenlu Street, Chaoyang District, opposite Desert Rose Restaurant.
5. Shangzi Street Clear Broth Beef Brisket Noodles.
This is a Cantonese-style halal noodle shop. The staff wear uniforms printed with the words Southern School Halal, and the owner speaks Cantonese.
Bamboo-pressed noodles (zhushengmian).
Beef brisket noodles (niunanmian).
You can get halal porridge here. Beijing really needs a halal restaurant that makes good porridge right now.
Address: West side of the intersection at Yabaolu South Slope Mosque.
This article is a supplement to the guide on special halal food in the capital. I have selected one representative restaurant for each flavor rather than listing every single one. I have already recommended most of the restaurants mentioned in user comments on my official account.
