In this episode, we step into a hidden century-old morning market tucked inside a bustling modern city in Zhejiang, Eastern China — a place where time slows down and the rich scent of street food fills the air. From sizzling smoked goose and aromatic sesame oil duck to tender, slow-braised beef shank and collagen-rich tendons, every bite reflects generations of flavor. One massive pot simmers with a mix of soy-braised meats and vegetables, sending out irresistible waves of umami. Watch vendors expertly pound fish into thin, delicate slices, and fry crispy golden lantern cakes to perfection. At the seafood stalls, plump sea crabs, soft-shell crabs, and roe-filled marinated crabs are steaming hot, while clams and live prawns are cooked fresh on the spot. You’ll also see deep-fried vegetables, hand-cut beef, and a colorful array of juicy fruits — mulberries bursting with juice, jumbo blueberries, tangy bayberries, and fragrant loquats. This market is a true slice of daily life in Zhejiang — and a reflection of the broader food culture in southern China. Join me as we step into the city’s most lively, authentic market and experience real Chinese street food, local flavors, and everyday warmth, all under traditional tile-roofed halls. 00:00 Video Overview 01:29 Entering the Market 01:55 Smoked Goose & Sesame Oil Duck 03:24 Braised Beef 07:46 Pounded Fish Slices 09:16 Lantern Cake 13:05 Mixed Braised Dishes 16:00 Various Sea Crabs 17:11 Shellfish & Sea Prawns 20:37 Deep-Fried Vegetables 22:07 Vegetable Stalls & Broccoli 24:48 Jumbo Blueberries & Mulberries 27:06 Juicy Chinese Bayberry & Loquats #ChineseStreetFood #HiddenMarkets #ChinaFood #StreetFoodLovers #BraisedMeat #FreshSeafood #ExoticFruits #FoodMarketTour #TraditionalChineseFood #MarketLifeChina
