Speaking of Longyan, I still went to Liancheng County once a few years ago, and my memory of it at that time was that there were too many local specialties! Some time ago, it started again from Xiamen and arrived at the destination of Silla District, the old city of Longyan. Travelling and foraging, the old town is my favorite route, because for me who is not traveling by car, the city transportation will be more convenient.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > my foraging route:</h1>
Since he only stayed in Longyan for a short period of three days, one of which arranged other things, the time for foraging for food was not very sufficient. When planning, I combined the local characteristics and made a series of plans to find the local traditional characteristics of the local specialties such as clear soup powder, beef offal soup, beef soup, stir-fried beef, fried beef blood, beef ball soup, noodles, soaked pork loin, and white chopped river chicken.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > [Longyan Peanut].</h1>
Longyan has many local specialties, among which the eight dry products in western Fujian and Longyan peanuts are the most famous. Western Fujian Dabagan refers to the Tingzhou area, including Changting dried tofu, Liancheng dried sweet potato, Wuping dried pork bile, Shanghang dried radish, Mingxi dried meat, Yongding dried vegetables, Ninghua dried rats, Qinglu ming bamboo shoots these eight kinds of snacks from the ancient Tingzhou capital (now Longyan City, Sanming City, part of the county), they are also a representative series of Fujian Hakka cuisine. In this article, the first thing I want to say is actually the Longyan peanut with the same name as the Eight Great Stems in Western Fujian, which can be seen everywhere in the streets of Longyan.
When visiting Longyan City, one of the stops is to go to Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street. There is also Zhongshan Road in Xiamen, which is one of the areas where many tourists punch in, and also gathers Xufang local snacks, as does Zhongshan Street in Longyan. At that time, after a small stroll, on the way back, there was a wet market, and there were many aunts selling peanuts at the entrance of the market. Peanuts are packed in oversized bags, weighed and billed, I bought ten yuan, the amount is very large!
Although peanuts are available in many regions, there are actually some differences in practice in different cities. Longyan peanuts are characterized by the fact that they are carefully selected peanuts made in the traditional roasting method, and the two forms of wet roasting and dry roasting have their own flavors. But either way, it's salty, so it's salty and fragrant, in stark contrast to ordinary peanuts.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > [Luoqiao beef offal].</h1>
In Hakka snacks, beef must be indispensable, and the food of Fujian Longyan is deeply popular. There is an old shop in Longyan City that has been open for many years, usually it is always overcrowded, and if you need to queue up for food, it is Luoqiao beef offal. A bowl of beef offal soup for more than ten yuan, which has a rich combination of ingredients, the base radish soup is very delicious, and the amount of soup is unlimited!
Regarding beef offal soup, in fact, many cities in China have it, but the practice of each place is somewhat different. The more traditional beef offal soup is made by wrapping beef bones and wrapping them in ingredients to boil the fresh soup, and then boiling the beef offal in the soup. The material bag is also very critical, generally using traditional Chinese medicine ingredients such as star anise and cinnamon, which is strong and nutritious, and is also a good soup for nourishment.
Beef offal soup:
Although Longyan is not a big city, it has its own taste in the small city, it has many Hakka cuisines, and the variety of dishes is very diverse. Longyan's beef offal soup belongs to the local Hakka method, the soup water is boiled with beef offal with white radish, which is both meaty and very sweet.
Beef soup:
In addition to beef offal soup, beef soup is also the choice of many people. Because the composition of beef offal includes a variety of parts of the cow's body, there are always 1 or 2 things that are not loved to eat! Beef soup, its beef is also a local specialty of Longyan, fresh beef added starch, so that the meat taste will be very tender, the soup water of the white radish is also very refreshing.
In addition to beef soup and beef offal soup, there are many options in Longyan, such as tripe tips, tripe slices, beef blinds, beef balls, beef loins, etc. you can make soup!
Stir-fried beef:
In Longyan, many locals will make beef offal soup or beef soup as a meal, with a bowl of white rice, soup and meat, so it is not pleasant! The Longyan area likes to eat beef, and there is a dish called Jiumentou in Liancheng County, which is made from nine different parts of the beef body. If you like to eat beef, then a plate of stir-fried beef is a must, its meat is very tender.
Fried beef blood:
Another fried beef blood, the cost of beef blood is lower, so a dozen yuan has a big plate!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > [Lao Liu Beef Ball Noodle Restaurant].</h1>
Lao Liu Beef Ball Noodle Restaurant impressed me more deeply, there are a few aunts busy in the simple stall, and the endless stream of customers are also lined up here in an orderly manner. From time to time, the two soup pots emitted a fresh beef aroma, and after a while, an uncle was seen carrying heavy beef balls into the store. Only then did I know that this small shop not only ordered and scalded, but also sold raw beef balls.
In addition to the Chaoshan region of Guangdong, beef balls are also a traditional delicacy in Longyan, Fujian. Longyan's high-quality beef balls generally choose the buffalo beef slaughtered on the same day, and then use special tools to smash the beef into a meat paste, so that the meat puree is delicious pink and has a certain toughness. After a series of hand-made processes, you can squeeze into balls. In Longyan, there are also beef balls and beef tendon balls, which can also be paired with flour noodles in addition to a single point.
Beef ball soup:
I ordered a small bowl at that time, and at that time, I ordered two bowls of my own entanglement, but fortunately, the store can choose half a beef tendon ball and half a beef ball, so that you can eat two kinds of balls with different tastes at once!
Mixed noodles:
Mixed noodles are also one of the characteristic delicacies of Fujian, a few yuan a bowl, the price is affordable. When the noodles are served, you will find some meat foam on it, stir them up with chopsticks, and the salty meat flavor remains in the mouth. For locals, a bowl of noodles and a beef ball soup are the best combination!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" ></h1>.[
This has a Tingzhou dim sum, has a number of branches in Longyan, heard the owner say that the store is not actually a chain store in the traditional sense, but the owners are related. The one I came to is very close to the First Hospital of Longyan City, and I chose it because it is open until 2 a.m.
Soaked pork loin:
The choice of meals is more diverse, all of which are special snacks and noodles from the Tingzhou area, such as soaked pork loin, white chopped river chicken and so on. Pork loin is one of the traditional Hakka delicacies, and its most distinctive feature is that it has rice wine in the ingredients and the soup is fragrant. And the pork loin is hooked, and the taste is tender and smooth.
Pork liver lean meat powder:
Originally I wanted to order fishmeal, but the store made pork liver lean meat powder, but the taste is also very good. The price of a bowl of ten yuan, when served, I think the cost performance is still quite high, the powder is more ~ the soup water and the pork loin are somewhat similar, and some rice wine has also been added. Hakka is hospitable, Hakka rice wine is also very distinctive, often combined with dishes!
White Chopped River Chicken:
White chopped river field chicken, one person to order a piece seems to be a little too much, fortunately in the store can order a single chicken leg. Hetian chicken refers to the chicken produced in Hetian Town, Changting County, Longyan, which is known as the world's five famous chickens and is known as the World's Five Famous Chickens with the American White Rock Chicken, the American Luodao Red Chicken, the British Suses Chicken, and the Italian White Laihang Chicken. The meat of Hetian chicken is strong, and after being made by the craftsmanship of Hakka cuisine, it reflects its original taste, and its entrance is fresh and fragrant, with tenacity.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > [one-pin stew pot].</h1>
Longyan people love to drink soup, both Hakka-style soups such as beef offal soup and beef soup, as well as nutritious stew soup. Yipin stew pot is also a local brand of Longyan, with many branches, one of which is close to Luoqiao beef offal, so it is also a foraging choice along Zhongshan Street.
There are many varieties of stew pots here, including tonic cordyceps flower abalone chicken soup, red jujube ginseng stewed chicken, yam fungus stewed chicken soup, pigeon ginseng soup, pepper black chicken soup, etc., there are also a variety of tonic duck soup with old duck as the main ingredient, there are about 50 kinds of choices! The price also ranges from a dozen to thirty yuan cup, which is a more realistic price.
Yipin Can is also an all-day shop, which also makes many people not only use it as one of the choices for dinner, after all, in addition to soup, there are flour and stir-fry, and late at night has also become the first choice for supper.
Nourishing chicken soup and duck soup, the price is relatively expensive, generally between 20 and 38 yuan. However, there will also be more affordable options here, such as regular cordyceps flower pork rib soup, tea tree mushroom rib soup is fine.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > [Seven-Nine Clear Soup Powder].</h1>
When I was in Longyan, I lived near Wanda Plaza, and when I walked 100 meters out, I found a shop that sold clear soup powder, which is also famous in Longyan. However, this is only its branch, which is still relatively convenient in terms of geographical location.
Clear soup powder is one of the traditional snacks in the Longyan area and is also a must-eat when coming to the city. The preparation of clear soup powder is actually relatively simple, it is said that the locals will prefer semolina, and for me fine powder seems to be better to enter, put the powder in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes to fish into the bowl, and then pour into the soup.
Although the clear soup powder pays attention to the "clear soup", in fact, the ingredients it is still very rich, and the most classic combination is to add meat on the basis of bean sprouts and leeks as side dishes. The most popular meats are scum, bacon, and skin. What I ordered was a bowl of double ingredients, that is, a combination of beef and bacon, and the salty taste of the bacon and the clear soup powder together, which is more delicious.
I remember when I was a child, I especially liked to eat lard residue, when my grandmother would go to the vegetable market to buy some fat meat, cut into small pieces and fry in a hot pan, pour the extracted juice into a bowl, and after cooling, it will form a solid lard. Solid lard is easier to store, and adding some to every stir-fry adds a better flavor, and because of lard, we especially liked to eat lard bibimbap and lard bibimbap at that time... Longyan's local clear soup powder can be encountered at any time, and the side dishes are rich in varieties, among which I am attracted by a butter residue, which is similar to lard residue, but because of the difference between pork and beef itself, there are also some differences in taste. If the order is not scum powder, you can also order a single small portion of yo, 5 yuan / dish!
If you still want to try a few more side dishes, then the a la carte is also a good choice. 1 yuan of tofu, 2 yuan of pig blood... Don't you think it's a good deal?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > [Yang jiating zhou rhyme].</h1>
Wanda Jinjie also has a shop specializing in Tingzhou cuisine here - Yangjiayu Tingzhou Yun, which is said to be a good Hakka restaurant in the city. Longyan's Hakka cuisine is very famous, especially in Changting, Liancheng and other counties are particularly outstanding, and white-ground stuffed tofu is preferred. Hakka cuisine actually pays the most attention to ingredients, while Longyan's Hakka cuisine uses the most rural materials, such as refreshing deer antler mushrooms, Tingzhou braised bamboo shoots...
Stuffed Tofu:
There are many Hakka delicacies, among which stuffed tofu should be regarded as the primary signature. Stuffed tofu is a traditional Hakka handmade delicacy, generally using fresh and tender tofu to cut into small squares, then digging a small hole in the middle of the tofu and filling in the filling. The filling is made of pork foam (which may also be fish, small shrimp), diced shiitake mushrooms, green onions and garlic, etc., so some people say that the original prototype of Hakka stuffed tofu was a combination of northern dumplings.
Dried braised bamboo shoots:
Longyan cuisine pays attention to ingredients, and many ingredients are directly grown by farmers, so many special dishes are very authentic. Dishes such as dried braised bamboo shoots are also very popular.

Shake delicious is a more common brand in Longyan, although it is a beverage shop, I heard that the environment is not bad overall. When I went to Longyan College a while ago, I found that the living area on their campus was actually very good.
The shop on the campus of Longyan College is a single-family building, the two-story storefront is very spacious, and as soon as you enter, you can see a large baby bear lying on the ground. The main drinks are served here, and the customers in the store are students on campus, and many people will sit on the second floor to study.
The price of the drink is not expensive compared to the market, milk tea from a few yuan to a dozen yuan, in addition to sweet potatoes, chicken rice flowers and other snacks.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > [Shimen Lake Fish House].</h1>
There are many food shops near every university, even Longyan College in Dongxiao Town, Longyan City. When you come here, you will find that opposite the gate of Longyan College, there are many lake fish restaurants. The friend who made an appointment worked at Longyan College, so one day at lunch, they came to one of the Shimen Lake Fish Restaurants that had been open for many years. Lake Fish Restaurant, its main dish is to use lake fish (non-seafood) as the main ingredient, a fish has more than ten or twenty ways to do.
There are three options for fish here, namely blackfish, bluefish and grass carp. Grass carp is more spiny, so the price is the most affordable, and although the blackfish is the most expensive, it is better than its fish meat. As for what to do, it generally depends on the number of people and how much fish there is, steamed fish steak, teppanyaki fish, braised fish, sweet and sour fish, casserole fish head... There's always the one you like!
The most impressive thing about the fish I ate in Longyan was to choose a fresh fish that could be cooked in a variety of ways. According to the menu of the store, there are almost twenty kinds of production methods, which is very suitable for multi-person dinner.
Teppanyaki is one of the most worthy to taste besides steaming. Because the taste of the teppanyaki will be better, there are a lot of sauces added to it, which has a slight salty and spicy.
