Today I went out exploring Shenzhen and found a place serving Chicken & Duck Rice for only $3.50! The chicken came with a really interesting green sauce that I’d never tried before — fresh, herby, a little spicy, and full of flavour. The duck was juicy, the rice portion was big, and for the price this meal was incredible value.
After finishing the meal, I spotted something wrapped in a leaf being sold nearby. I thought it was going to be a dessert… but it definitely wasn’t what I expected at all! Still, I enjoy trying random local snacks, even when I have no idea what they are.
From there, I took a long walk along the Shenzhen Bay, enjoying the views and the evening atmosphere. I followed the path all the way to the K11 Mall, where I wandered around and checked out the shops and displays. It’s a really impressive place.

Kevin arrives in Shenzhen and, on his first day, dives into a food hunt in Shiko Old Street. He translates menus, navigates construction-dusted streets, and picks a crowded stall for chicken and duck rice with a broth and a bowl of soup, plus a bold green herb topping that becomes a personal favorite. A leaf-wrapped item—meant to be a dessert by appearance—turns out to be something savory; its exact nature remains a clue in the moment. As the day progresses, Kevin walks along the coast toward Shenzhen Bay, discovers the K11 Mall, and explores a surreal, massive mall with rooftop views and a floating garden pavilion. He tries a mango dessert at a big mall, but mango is not available, opting instead for a milky dessert and a black sesame-flavored ice cream later. Throughout the journey, he interacts with locals, tests rideshares and bikes (with app challenges), and captures intimate moments—like the sea’s edge at sunset and a fisherman’s catch. The day ends with a return to the hotel, reflecting on the best bites, the generous portions, and the surprising delight of the green topping on the chicken rice. Kevin signs off ready for rest after many steps and sensory discoveries around Shenzhen’s coast, markets, and malls.

Traveler: Kevin Travel
Kevin travels Shenzhen for a late-day food hunt, starting with a hotel room review in a construction-scarred area and a trek toward Shiko Old Street to uncover local eats. He finds a bustling market and stalls, translating menus on the fly, and eventually orders a generous chicken-and-duck-rice set for 25 yuan with soup and a mysterious green herb-topped sauce that becomes the star of the meal. A leaf-wrapped snack (later identified as a savory item, not a dessert) accompanies the dishes, and Kevin samples escalatingly flavorful chili oils and a bright, herbal green topping that elevates the chicken and duck. Throughout the day, he walks along the Shenzhen coast toward Shenzhen Bay, the K11 Mall, and other sights, encountering a mix of construction sites, seaside paths, a quiet, expansive mall, a moonrise, and a few local encounters (including a basketball hoop session with a stranger). He forages through the Kowloon-like malls and seaside promenades, chasing a mango dessert that elus
