🍻 Night Run on Guijie Street | Hu Da's crayfish and greedy frog, who is the hottest king at night? Tonight, explore the food world of Beijing.

When talking about Guijie Street, old Beijingers will say with a smile: "This street is hot from dusk to dawn. If you haven't eaten Hu Da, it's like coming here for nothing."

This is really not an exaggeration.

Hu Da Restaurant is not only a legend of Guijie Street, but also a representative of "equal sign food". After we rushed into Yizhuang to eat spicy food at noon, we moved to Hu Da in Dongzhimen at night. The lanterns were hung high and the wooden doors were thick. As soon as we entered the door, we had a hunch that "there must be a story".

🦞 Spicy crayfish: It feels like dancing tango when you bite it!

Hu Da's crayfish is not just spicy, the most charming thing is the layer of sauce and the spicy spirit that seeps out from the cracks in the shell.

The shrimps are solid, with shiny red shells. When you break them open, you can see the shrimp paste slightly yellow under the light. The shrimp meat is firm and chewy, and it has a "chewy but not dry" taste. The whole thing has a slight numbing taste of pepper, and the aroma of fried dried chilies. The aftereffect goes straight to the throat, making people suck shrimp shells while drinking ice beer.

The most exaggerated thing is that you will keep licking your fingers, making you not want to wash your hands at all. That layer of sauce is the soul.

🐸 Greedy frog: the most gentle and deadly knife in the middle of the night

I came here originally for crayfish, but after eating this plate of frog, I really... immediately fell in love with someone else.

The bullfrog is cut into pieces, fried, and then soaked in the red oil pot. The calf meat is as tender as silk, and even the bone joints are full of flavor. The spiciness is not the type of rough collision, but a master spiciness with a little freshness, a little fragrance, and a little sweetness. After taking a bite, your forehead will feel like a small heater is on, which will make you willing to eat more and more with chopsticks. The more you eat, the happier you will be. You will be completely addicted.

This dish is a perfect love triangle of "seduction + spicy temptation + lust", which is really addictive.

📒 Stella's running notes

The price of crayfish is reasonable. It is recommended that you catch ten or more per person, otherwise it will not be enough;

The greedy frog is the hidden king. It can be paired with starch, otherwise the red oil will be too charming and you will directly eat it with the bottom of the pot;

Their garlic crayfish noodles are also worth ordering. The noodles are full of shrimp oil and garlic fragrance. One bowl is full and happy;

If you dare to challenge the heavy taste, don't miss the spicy crab and spicy beauty hoof. The gelatinous texture is really soft and chewy.

🕰️ Store Tips:

Hu Da's main store is open 24 hours a day, but if you want to queue less, remember to get a number online in advance. You have to wait for 3 hours during the peak season;

They use live shrimps that are killed on the spot, and you can really taste the difference in the meat quality, so you can eat it with confidence;

Rice cakes or mixed noodles are soul mates, don't just order crayfish, you will regret it if you don't have a bite of starch.

🌃 Guijie is the arena of Beijing late at night

From beginning to end, the whole Guijie is like a lit night market fire line, with various spicy hits taking turns.

But Hu Da is probably the only one who can make shrimps poetic and frogs affectionate.

At the moment after eating, I have to say:
This is not a midnight snack, this is a spicy love.
After eating, you will feel super refreshed, full and stuffed, but you will still say "I must come again when I come to Beijing."
