Best 串儿(chuanr) in Dalian

Forgot to mention this in the last post. After leaving the Tin Whistle, the lads wanted food (as is the case with most Paddies after a few pints), so they said we’d get some chuanr (串儿), i.e. shish-kebabs, meat/veg etc on skewers cooked for you on a BBQ type thing. I was a bit wary as I had eaten some before and it was a bit dry and not that tasty.

The lads convinced me that it was the best 串儿 in Dalian, and after eating it, I reckon they were probably right. It was gorgeous. Got some with lamb, some with mushrooms, some with aubergines and some with garlic bread. Man, they were tasty. Not all dry like the ones I had before. And not overly spicy, i.e. you could taste the meat rather than the sauce (otherwise they might as well fry cardboard).

So, anyone hanging around the back of the Shangri-la hotel, this guy was on the corner nearest the Hole in the Wall pub. Well worth checking out. I’m still salivating at the thought of eating more of it!
