Reposted from the web
Summary: This Tianjin halal food map part 5 covers Alishu Pizza and Pasta, Yanchunlou Restaurant, Chengcheng Charcoal BBQ, AINY Western Casual Dining, Muyi Nuobona Western Restaurant, Haishiwan Restaurant, desserts, seafood, and family-style Western halal dining.
This is the fifth installment of my Tianjin halal food map. It covers six restaurants I visited while traveling back and forth to Tianjin five times recently.
The halal restaurants in Tianjin I visited this time are:
1. Alishu Pizza and Pasta
2. Yanchunlou Restaurant
3. Chengcheng Charcoal BBQ
4. AINY Western Casual Dining
5. Muyi Nuobona Western Restaurant
6. Haishiwan Restaurant
1. Alishu Pizza and Pasta
Tianjin has many small, family-run Western restaurants like this. They are usually located near residential neighborhoods and offer great value. None of the small Western restaurants I visited sell alcohol. The owners are all locals from Tianjin. It is strange that Beijing does not have any similar restaurants.
When I am in Malaysia, I often take my children to Western restaurants for pasta. Kids seem to love pasta and french fries.
This shop serves baked beef rice with cheese and pizza, costing about 30 yuan per serving.
Two people can eat until they are full for about 100 yuan. People say this shop used to have several branches, but this is the only one left.
2. Yanchunlou Restaurant
Some internet users called this the best halal restaurant in Tianjin, so we made a special trip to try it while passing through the city.
The restaurant has a fancy atmosphere and displays many collectibles inside.
Many people come here because of its reputation, so you have to wait in line for a table.
We tried the traditional stir-stir-fried meat liver and kidney (bao liang yang), braised oxtail, and shrimp with gluten. The taste was just okay and quite ordinary. It was not as amazing as people said online and fell short compared to Hongbinlou. However, the price is reasonable at about 150 yuan per person.
3. Chengcheng Charcoal BBQ
This shop was a surprise. I came here because my classmate was having a baby at a nearby maternity center, and we just picked the closest place. I did not expect it to be so good.
This place is a great value. Two people can eat plenty of meat for less than 200 yuan.
I highly recommend the rice mixed in a basin. It costs just over ten yuan, and the rice grains are distinct, which is the texture I like.
4. AINY Western Casual Dining
This small shop is a lot like the first one. It is even smaller, but it has been open for nearly 10 years.
They even write their menu by hand.
Two people can share a seafood pizza, a black pepper pasta, and a large order of fries for about 100 yuan. It tastes pretty good.
5. Muyi Nuobona Western Restaurant
Muyi and Nuobona Western Restaurant are two restaurants with different styles run by the same owner. They are both in the same building. Muyi is a Chinese restaurant, and Nuobona is a Western restaurant.
We tried the Nuobona Western Restaurant this time. The food and the atmosphere were great. People say their Chinese food is also very delicious.
The best thing about Nuobona is the fireplace they use to bake pizzas. The pizza that comes out of it smells amazing.
I tried the famous French dish of baked snails (escargot) for the first time. It tasted quite good, just like eating sea snails.
Even though the food and the environment are quite fancy, the prices are not high. You can eat for about 100 yuan per person. Prices in Tianjin are generally lower than in Beijing.
6. Haishiwan Restaurant
We found this Western restaurant based on online reviews.
We ordered a wide variety of dishes here and tried almost all their signature items. However, the taste does not compare to Nuobona. This is a budget-friendly Western restaurant. It is definitely much cheaper than other places, costing only about 50 yuan per person, so you cannot expect too much from the flavor.
Still, their dishes look great in photos.
This huge cup of dessert was so sugary and rich that everyone could only manage one small bite before they were full.
