Berlin Food Guide for Free Travelers 🍜

Spent two days in Berlin and summarized the food highlights between deadlines—overall great value, much cheaper than Copenhagen! ✨ 1. Chen Xianggui Beef Noodles 🍜 Tastes exactly like the beef noodles I queued for in high school! Arrived at 1pm, waited 15 mins 👫 Beef noodle soup: €9.9 with free refills, generous tender beef slices 🥩 Cold beef salad: Huge portion, dipping sauce is 💥 Shredded lamb: Zero gamey taste, must-order! 🐑 Egg rice wine: Heard it's amazing, saving it for next time 😢 Pro tip: Cash only! WeChat/Alipay charged at ¥8:€1 rate. 2. Sangu Mao Cai 🌶️ Minimum 400g order, our portions weren’t cheap (price TBC) 💰 Stuffyy interior, so we packed up early 😓 Tastes like the hotpot near BUPT—mediocre at best 🤔 Wide selection: shrimp, beef, fish, etc. 🦐 Not excited about its upcoming Copenhagen branch anymore... 3. Hong Kong Mong Kok Garden)🍲 A bit far from downtown, cheaper than Sangu Mao Cai (price to be added) Couple’s lung slices: Good but different—thick sauce, mild spice 🌶️ Seafood platter: Not on menu! Showed a photo to order. €50 with rice, pricey but super fresh 🦞 Dong’s favorite: Rich, sweet soup base he can’t stop raving about! 4. Old Chengdu Flavor 🌶️ ⚠️ AVOID the spicy lotus root slices! ❌ Frozen slices with chili paste—only 5-6 pcs, texture nowhere near fresh 😤 Mixed sauce noodles: Salty-savory, not spicy (ordered regular spice) 🌶️ Hours warning: Open different days M-W vs W-F—check before going! 5. Currywurst 🌭 Random stand near DM, struggled to order due to language barrier €4.9 (should’ve just gotten sausage). Crispy fries + delicious sausage 🍟 Social anxiety moment: Used translation app + gestures—staff was confused... 6. Airport Eats ✈️ Asian-friendly meal for €15, solid choice! Mango juice: €5, so refreshing I gulped it down 🥭 Perfect for soothing a homesick stomach between flights! #Berlin #BerlinFood #FoodieTravel
