Hubu Alley Breakfast Crawl
One alley, one hundred breakfasts (guozao culture).
Must-try list
· Doupi glutinous rice & egg wrap
· Mianwo donut rings
· Hot dry noodles
· Rice wine
What it is
The breakfast crawl version of Hubu Alley — doupi (the rice-egg-meat parcel fried on iron pans), re gan mian, sweet egg wine and sugar-glazed rice cakes in sequence, in the lane where the city's guozao morning culture is on display.
How to order like a local
Order half-portions wherever allowed; the crawl is the meal. Doupi is made in front of you — take the corner piece with the crisp edge. Finish with egg wine, warm and faintly sweet, the morning's closing argument.
Good to know
Do it 7-9am before the lanes fill. Sixty to eighty yuan buys the full circuit.
