Dishes
Creamy Milk YogurtNai Pi Zi Yogurt is a dairy dish primarily made from fresh milk and yogurt starter. The preparation involves heating the milk to an appropriate temperature, adding the yogurt starter, mixing thoroughly, and allowing it to ferment until it sets, forming a thick layer of cream on the surface. It has a delicate texture and a rich yogurt flavor.
Beef Fire香 BunBeef fire香包 is made with fresh beef as the main ingredient, combined with scallions, ginger paste, and other seasonings, finely chopped to create a flavorful filling. The dough is made from high-quality flour, fermented, then rolled into round shapes. The filling is placed inside the dough wrapper, sealed tightly, and baked in a preheated oven until golden brown and fragrant.
Steamed glutinous rice cakeZeng Gao is a traditional Chinese dessert made primarily from glutinous rice and red dates. The preparation involves soaking the glutinous rice, steaming it until cooked, then mixing it with red dates and steaming again in a zeng (a traditional steaming vessel) until the rice and dates are fully blended, resulting in a soft, sticky, and sweet texture.
Reviews
- heliotrope_lemongrassSharing a few practical tips that honestly saved me: first, try to avoid peak meal times — on weekends the line gets crazy long. The takeout window is super convenient though, you can just grab stuff to go without even going inside, like pre-cut beef and these golden crispy beef buns that were amazing to bring home. If it's your first visit, definitely start with the sticky rice cake, the yogurt, and the black sesame rice balls — those are the crowd favorites and you can't really go wrong with them. Heads up, the new spot they opened on Waiguan Xie Street has a way bigger and brighter space, but honestly the original Andingmen location tastes just as authentic. Also fair warning — popular items can sell out by the afternoon, so if you're after the rice balls or anything like that, best to go earlier in the day.
