Michelin food scouting, which ones are a must-try?

In 2019, Michelin made its first visit to Beijing in search of delicacies and street food, offering diners a guide to culinary gems. The old restaurants in the city are still full of guests, and the owners use their decades of skill and experience to bring unforgettable classic dishes. The traditional "Erba Sauce" is still in the vat, the freshly fried liver and marinated pork are steaming hot, and there's still plenty of shabu-shabu to go around. Jingtianhong fried cake, Yanlong Restaurant and Lao Teng Rice Noodle say goodbye and reunite with their customers, and the old flavors that they have longed for are finally preserved. Drinking a bowl of bean juice in the morning and eating Lao Zhang Ramen at night add warmth to those who come home early in the morning and return late at night. People who live far away from home will find familiar food in their hometowns by chance, and foreigners living in China will also find their own specialties. The "hand-shot rose" and "a peach" have been featured in short videos, so don't forget to express your feelings to your loved ones when you come to visit the festival.
