Food lovers definitely shouldn't miss the Old Spitalfields Market in East London, a historic market with a history of more than 300 years! The architectural exterior exudes an artistic and retro charm.

Most importantly, this market offers a wide variety of Chinese delicacies! It's truly a paradise for Chinese international students.

Humble Crumble
We highly recommend the Apple Crumble from this store! In my opinion, it's the most delicious and popular signature dish. The warm and sweet custard sauce, paired with slightly sour apples, perfectly balances the sweet and sour flavors. Sprinkle some crispy shortbread and baked caramel on the surface. Having a bowl of it during the cold Christmas winter is simply blissful! With just one bite, your whole body will feel warm.

Bleecker Burger
This is a very juicy burger, and many local Britons love to dine here! The filling consists of substantial beef, the store's own special Bleecker sauce, cheese, and a slice of lettuce. One of the things I like most is that there are no pickles. The meat juice that oozes out when you squeeze it, mixed with the cheese, is simply delicious!

Dumpling Shack Pan-fried Dumplings
The pan-fried dumplings in this market are extremely popular! Not only do many Chinese people buy them, but also a lot of foreigners are queuing up to purchase them. They really taste great. With one bite, you'll be filled with soup, and it'll make you feel like you're back in Shanghai eating Xiaoyang pan-fried dumplings! As an introvert, what I like most about this place is that you can directly order on a tablet and then just queue up for your food, without the need for much communication!

Red Oil Wontons
It's right next to the popular pan-fried dumpling store and looks like it's from the same shop. This bowl of red oil wontons is also extremely fragrant, with a filling of shrimp and chives! Just now, you felt like you were in Shanghai having pan-fried dumplings, and in the next moment, you're in Sichuan and Chongqing enjoying red oil wontons! The filling is generous, and it really has a spicy kick!

Wheelcake Island Taiwanese Wheel Cakes
The wheel cakes often have limited-edition flavors, and of course, there are festive limited-edition flavors during Christmas. For regular visits, if you prefer savory flavors, I recommend the double cheese flavor, and for sweet flavors, the matcha and red bean flavors are great choices.

Rice Brother Fried Chicken Rice Cakes and Rice Balls
The fried chicken rice cakes from this store are huge in portion and have an extremely rich filling. Many people are basically full after eating half of one, and you can take the remaining half home for breakfast. Although it doesn't quite match the taste in China, it's already very satisfying to be able to eat freshly wrapped rice balls with a good flavor in the UK!
