Shenyang's most famous restaurant is the Laobian
Eating House, at 6 Zhong Jie (tel
024/24843956 ext 621), whose noted jiaozi
cost ¥50 for a jin (60 dumplings),
though you can order a fraction of that and pay
accordingly. The restaurant may be famous, but
its decor and service are terrible. An
alternative with excellent service and cheap
food is Meiahli Korean BBQ, 62 Kunming
Beijie (tel 024/3415547), near the Heping
Hotel and Zhongshan Lu. They serve zaocha
here, a sweet, fruity tea that goes well with
platefuls of beef and bottles of beer. Dinner
for two will be around ¥50. Next door is a USA
Beef Noodle King, and farther down Zhongshan
Lu, towards Mao's statue, are several jiaozi
houses. Shenyang's most popular fish restaurant
is Tianjin Yu Gang Er Bu inside the Liaoning
Stadium Hotel, 284 Qingnian Lu (tel
024/23896188). Dinner for two will come to
around ¥100. Of the many KFC s here, the
closest one to the South station is 100m in
front on Zhonghua Lu, with another one around
the corner on Taiyuan Jie. McDonald's is
on Zhong Jie, next door to yet another KFC.
