When you go to Hangzhou, most of them are in hangzhou's "high value" to go. It can be said that this city, which has been known as "paradise on earth" since ancient times, has a gentle lake and mountains, antique architecture and environment. Even stepping into it, there is a kind of tenderness that whispers between hands and feet.
However, when you arrive in Hangzhou, you can't just enjoy the beautiful scenery and don't taste food, right? Since Hangzhou is already a beautiful scenery, then the food can not be as barren as the desert, right?
Hangzhou is indeed a paradise for food, but we must be able to eat! As for how to eat, this will involve the two words of "Hangzhou cuisine" and "Hangzhou cuisine". Although these two words look almost identical, they are very mysterious.
"Hangzhou cuisine" and "Hangzhou cuisine" are two completely different sets of dish systems, for Hangzhou locals, do not like to eat "Hangzhou cuisine". And for people who come to travel from other places, "Hangzhou Gang Cuisine" is a "local dish" that must be tasted, and when you go to Hangzhou, if you don't try "Hangzhou Gang Cuisine", how can you talk about Hangzhou?
Leaving aside for the moment whether there is such a possibility, let's listen to the old Yu to give you a detailed explanation:
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" >, the concept of "Hangzhou cuisine" and "Hangzhou cuisine" is distinguished</h1>
"Hang Bang Cuisine":
Originated in Hangzhou, popular in Hangzhou, but not authentic Hangzhou cuisine. Because it is based on Hangzhou cuisine, borrowing and integrating the characteristics of dishes in some other regions to form a new dish.
And the dishes of "Hangzhou Gang Cuisine" are also more, not simply a category, but have two major schools of "Lake School" and "Cheng Xiang School".
Perhaps we can also say that Hangzhou cuisine integrates many cuisines, learns from the strengths of hundreds of families, and is a collection of no sects and no sects. For Hangzhou, a tourist resort, it meets the tastes of more people and is also more in line with the requirements of the market.
Therefore, for people who travel to Hangzhou, the food to taste should probably be "Hangzhou cuisine". Longjing tea fried shrimp, Dongpo meat, West Lake vinegar fish, Hangzhou chrysanthemum chicken shredded, and so on. Each dish has a strong regional character, either related to the name of the region, or the name of the person associated with the local area, and so on.
Perhaps for the city of Hangzhou, Hangzhou's cuisine is more representative in the tourism market, and it is a powerful publicity business card of this scenic city. For those who come to travel, Hangzhou gang cuisine is more representative, "do not taste Hangzhou bang cuisine to Hangzhou".
"Hangzhou cuisine":
"Hangzhou cuisine" is a member of Zhejiang cuisine, together with Ningbo cuisine, Shaoxing cuisine and other cuisines, together constitute one of the eight major cuisines in China, Zhejiang cuisine.
Compared with "Hangzhou cuisine", the scope of "Hangzhou cuisine" is much smaller. It is a dish that belongs only to hangzhou people, and it is the taste of Hangzhou people themselves. There are 36 traditional "Hangzhou dishes", but the number of famous "Hangzhou dishes" is even greater.
For the old Hangzhou people, osmanthus sugar lotus, braised bamboo shoots in oil, pickled tuk tuk, etc. these seasonal and regional seasonal dishes seem to be more appetizing.
Compared with the "Hangzhou Gang Cuisine", the "Hangzhou Cuisine" that Hangzhou people like to eat seems to have more pyrotechnics and is the real life in the city.
If you say that "Hangzhou Gang Cuisine" is a business card of Hangzhou's external publicity, and "Hangzhou Cuisine" is the real life hidden in Hangzhou in daily life.
Therefore, Hangzhou people prefer to eat "Hangzhou cuisine" instead of "Hangzhou cuisine".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="68" > two, the taste difference between "Hangzhou cuisine" and "Hangzhou cuisine"</h1>
Although "Hangzhou Gang Cuisine" is a cuisine based on Hangzhou cuisine and a combination of the characteristics of some regions, it is very exquisite in taste.
Selection of materials: pay attention to fine, seasonal. Keep up with The Seasonal Food of Hangzhou, as well as the food of the strong regional nature.
Dishes: To highlight the regionality of Hangzhou, and there are many kinds of dishes, exquisite shapes of dishes, but also constantly introduce the old and new.
Cooking: Hangzhou cuisine pays great attention to cooking skills, raw stir-frying, stewing, tender, steaming, boiling, boiling, roasting, etc. Cooking techniques match the characteristics of the ingredients and highlight the characteristics of the ingredients.
Taste: Full of color and fragrance, mainly salty, slightly sweet. But this sweetness, compared to Shanghai cuisine, is more easily accepted by outsiders.
However, the "Hangzhou cuisine" on the table of Hangzhou people is more abundant, and there are even many shadows of northern dishes. Everything seems so unintentional, more casual, more suitable for life.
For example, Hangzhou people prefer to eat shrimp fried eel noodles. Adding the characteristic noodles of the north to the characteristic yellow eels of the region does not require any special expression, nor does it need to highlight a certain area of Hangzhou. Everything is like this, delicious on the line!
Unlike "Hangzhou cuisine", "Hangzhou cuisine" seems to be more casual in taste. "Wuyue style, Central Plains taste", incomparably inclusive. As long as it is delicious, it can appear on the table of ordinary people. Hangzhou people do not eat "Hangzhou gang dish", eat a Chongqing hot pot, Sichuan small noodles, Lanzhou ramen... What can be done?
All this is exactly where the city's real fireworks are, where the real life lies. It's real, and it's heart-warming.
Therefore, Hangzhou people do not eat "Hangzhou gang dishes", perhaps it is just a big strange thing that exists in the subconscious of foreigners. For many ordinary Hangzhou locals living in the frontline, this is the real life!
