Charcoal-grilled Dongbei-style skewers cooked to order from a humble Preston carpark tent.

Rough-and-ready street food tent set up in a Preston carpark - communal, smoky and unmistakably authentic rather than polished.

Charcoal grilling cooked fresh to order, phone pre-ordering to skip the queue, complimentary hot tea or milk while you wait, BYO drinks welcomed.

Reviewers with lived experience in Asia, plus Chinese-speaking reviewers, describe the skewers as authentic northern Chinese (Dongbei-style) street food, with the owner identified as being from north-east China.

Skewers priced at roughly $2-3 each make this exceptional value - reviewers repeatedly call it cheap for the quality and portion of charcoal-grilled meat.
