Eating in Weihai
Eating in Weihai
Chinese food: it's obviously everywhere; however, some consider the local kitchen to be tasteless.
To others, the traditional and simple steaming of fresh seafood along with locally grown varieties of fresh vegetables make for healtful, delicately tasty food, remarkable merely in its simple, unadulterated purity. The local delicacy is sea cucumber for which Weihai is very well known. Fresh scallops are readily available and are extremely affordable by western standards. In the summer months, fresh fruits abound. Rice is less prevalent than noodles in this region of China, for wheat is grown in the area. Be sure to try the local jiaozi or baozi, tender dumplings, particularly those filled with local fresh shrimp and chive.
One local restaurant that has very unique offerings is called Yi Kuai Dou Fu (一块豆腐）， their specialty is a one piece tofu dish. They also have other great dishes such as tang su liji and gong bao rou.
Korean Food: you can't miss. Given the proximity of Korea, the food has made a strong presence. During the warm summer months, seek out the tasty soup called mool naeng myun, an ice-cold, bold beef broth that is laden with buckwheat noodles and laced with bits of cucumber, chive, sliced beef and leafy coriander (British) or cilantro (North Americans refer to coriander as the seed, not the leaf, of the same plant). Top it off with kim chee. It's more refreshing than a cold shower after a hot, sultry day at the beach.
There are many Korean places in the city （市里），in the Economic Development Zone, there is a Korean Food street called "Han guo mei shi jie" (韩国美食街）. There is an excellent Korean restaurant located in the Jusco (佳士客）, in the Economic Zone (经济开发区）.
There is a Korean coffee shop called Bread N' Bakery and Coffee located on Tong Yi Road (统一路） just north of Kuming Road (昆明路）， next to the Adidas shop. It is a wonderful place to hang out. Coffee starts at 15 RMB and they have delicious breads and wifi.

There is a Western/Chinese breakfast buffet at the Golden Bay Hotel on the NE end of the International beach for about USD10. They'll expect a room number, but will seat visitors.
the local major grocers usually have a small international selection where one may find Dove chocolates, pasta and sauces, and pantry staples that have a long shelf life. If you look hard, some stores even carry New Zealand butter or French Brie and aged English cheddar cheeese and a decent selection of biscuits/crackers. An occasional parcel of familiar can be intensely appreciated by an unadjusted western palate.
