Tiantai Mountain Snacks (Gongren East Road Branch)
天台山小吃(工人东路店)
A budget snack shop that locals recommend first, offering jianbing rolls, beef blood soup, mian nao noodles and hulata; open all day.
Located at 117 Gongren East Road in Chicheng Subdistrict, several travel guides name it the snack shop that Tiantai locals all recommend; it has a Ctrip rating of 5.0 and nearly 90 reviews. The menu is extensive: jianbing rolls, beef blood soup, mian nao noodles, shredded potato hulata, stir-fried rice cakes and bianshi, plus Qingming rice cake around Qingming Festival. Wheat cake is a hidden item not on the menu, so order it verbally. Beef blood soup and beef offal soup can be ordered in half portions, and the jianbing rolls are large, so two people can share one. The setting is that of an old, simple eatery, but prices are low, making it good for solo diners. Per person about RMB 15–25.
