đ A Day of Chinese Food in Valencia: From Morning Buns to Late-Night BBQ If youâre planning a day trip to Valencia and want to eat like a local (with a Chinese twist), this itinerary is for you. We hopped on the earliest train from Madrid just to eat our way through the cityâand let us tell you: Valenciaâs Chinese food scene is next level. 𼢠Breakfast: Tian Tian Da Rou Bao We came all the way from Madrid for this spotâand it did not disappoint. Must-tries: Their sesame balls (crispy outside, chewy inside, sweet but not cloying) and xiaolongbao (soup dumplings, juicy and flavorful). Perfect fuel for a day of eating. Address: C/ de Pelai, 15, 46007 València đ Lunch: Casa Tafu Weâd tried to visit before, but they were always closed for holidaysâthis time, we finally scored a table. The star: Braised pork rice. Tender, savory, and perfectly seasoned, with a generous portion thatâs a steal for the price. Pro tip: It gets packed, so book ahead. Trust us, itâs worth the planning. Address: Carrer de Julio Antonio, 26, 46007 València đ§ Milk Tea Breaks: Two Spots to Quench Your Cravings After lunch, we needed something sweetâand these spots delivered. Moment: We popped in while waiting for our Casa Tafu table. The milk tea is solid (nothing mind-blowing), but their egg tarts? Incredibleâflaky crust, creamy filling, just sweet enough. Address: Carrer de Ribera, 19, 46002 València JG DE TE: The winner. Their smoothies are life-changing. The matcha and taro flavors are rich, fresh, and not too sweetâplus, the portions are huge. Split one with a friend to save room for dinner. Address: Gran VĂa de Fernando el CatĂłlico, Bajo 35, 46008 València đ˘ Dinner: Hui Wei We had our hearts set on their Qingdao-style braised pork ribs, but the owner said they take 2 hours to cookâand we were rushing back to Madrid. Next time! What we loved: The BBQ. Juicy, well-seasoned, and perfect for sharing. They also serve classic home-style dishes if youâre craving comfort food. Address: Av. de Blasco IbĂĄĂąez, 120, 46022 València đ Bonus: Valenciaâs Sunset After a day of eating, we wandered outside to catch the sunsetâand it was stunning. Golden light, warm breezes, full bellies⌠the perfect end to a perfect food crawl. Valenciaâs Chinese food scene is a hidden gem. From breakfast buns to late-night BBQ, every bite felt like a hug. If youâre planning a day trip, follow this routeâyour taste buds will thank you. #ValenciaChineseFood #FoodCrawl #DayTripEats
