Shenyang Tawan · Xingshun International Night Market

When you come to the Tawan · Xingshun International Night Market, northeastern specialties are a must. Hidden here are the truest flavors of old Shengjing, each bite filled with the straightforward warmth Northeasterners are known for.

Grilled chicken rack is the soul of Shenyang's night markets. Fresh chicken racks are marinated in more than ten spices, slowly grilled over charcoal until the skin turns crispy, then finished with cumin and sesame. Sweet and spicy, salty and savory, the flavors balance perfectly.

Old-style Guobaorou

Old-style Guobaorou(sweet and sour pork) is crispy outside and tender inside, golden in color with a sweet-tangy glaze. Fresh from the wok, each bite gives a satisfying crunch that conquers your taste buds on the spot.

Benxi grilled tofu skin comes with its own popularity. Thin yet resilient tofu skins are skewered and slowly grilled until lightly blistered, brushed generously with a savory secret sauce, crispy outside and soft inside, salty and spicy with deep flavor.

Xuemian Dousha (red bean paste) is one of Liaoning cuisine's top ten classic dishes, and a treasured childhood sweet for many northeastern kids. Round and plump, as soft and airy as a cloud, it melts gently in the mouth—sweet but never heavy, smooth and comforting.

Meicai Kourou (braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens) baked in a flatbread comes out crispy and fragrant, with savory preserved greens mingling with pork aroma. CrabRoe Soup Dumplings have skins thin as paper and release a burst of rich, umami crab roe with every bite.
