Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is in Beijing and is touring the city’s food scene, drawing onlookers and social media attention. Multiple outlets report that Huang was spotted at a noodles shop in the Nanluoguxiang area, which is known for its traditional hutongs—low-rise neighbourhood lanes with shops and restaurants. There, he orders “zhajiangmian,” described as a Beijing specialty in which noodles are covered with a thick soybean-paste sauce mixed with vegetables and often meat. Witness accounts say he eats the dish at the restaurant entrance while people nearby film and photograph him.
Several reports also mention that Huang tries a fermented soybean drink, “douzhi’er,” which outlets describe as slightly sour and gray-green in colour. One outlet says Huang reacts with a wince after tasting it, and that videos of his reaction trend on Weibo. Afterward, he buys a sweet beverage from Mixue Bingcheng to recover. Overall coverage focuses on the food tour setting, public reaction, and the contrast between Huang’s positive response to zhajiangmian and his more hesitant reaction to the fermented drink.
