When it comes to Hainan, most people's first reaction is to think of Sanya, a holiday paradise.
In Ah Qiu's mind, Hainan has always been a romantic and delicious existence, and every county and city has endless treasures.
In addition to the popular destination Sanya,
I prefer Haikou, the provincial capital of haikou, which is worth a trip to in order to eat;
There is also Wenchang, which can eat the best Wenchang chicken & coconut in Hainan in one stop;
Let the "ancient number one food blogger" Su Dongpo linger in the treasure ancient city of Danzhou...
A huge number of tropical fruits all year round, coconut water that is cheap enough to drink, a non-repetitive way of powdering for a week, one of the best chickens in the country, and a refreshing cool that exudes the summer atmosphere forever...
As I spoke, somehow tears came out of my mouth.
Fortunately, I have a number of local friends in Hainan, and when I think about these foods every day, I will also buy food from each other online to solve my "homesickness".
Therefore, today I bring you the Hainan food series, and bring you some island flavor on the tip of the tail in the summer.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" >01 The underrated province relies on the online shopping version to remotely solve homesickness</h1>
When it comes to flour, everyone will think of Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guizhou, in fact, in Hainan, every different county and city has an exclusive delicious rice noodle.
Locals have their own pocket lists, dangling bowls of soup powder in the morning; ordering pickling powder to appetize when it's not so dry; eating sour powder in the afternoon to cool off; and then frying powder in the evening breeze to relieve fatigue.
/Hainan powder/
@Aman
Hainan powder is not a general term for Hainan powder, but the most commonly eaten powder in Haikou.
The powder is fine and tender, you can rarely eat this taste in starchy foods, and its eating method is very special, half dry mix and half soup, a bowl of powder to eat two flavors.
First mixed with salty and sweet dried sauce, with bean sprouts beef sauerkraut under the belly, halfway through the meal and then pour a sweet conch soup, sweet and sour and salty flavor is superb.
At first glance, it looks like snail powder, and the taste can indeed be called a light flavor version of snail powder.
The Hainan noodles of this island powder family are very good, the crispness of sauerkraut and bamboo shoots, the Titian of sesame oil sesame peanuts, and the indispensable yellow lantern pepper,
/Lingshui acid powder/
Lingshui acid powder is a specialty of Lingshui County.
Traditionally, light rice noodles take 7 days to make, rice noodles are as fine as a hair, but smooth and flexible.
Then paired with the secret marinade, add squid shredded, fish cake, beef jerky, peanuts, leeks, coriander and other ingredients, drizzled with fresh and appetizing rice vinegar, and finally add the special yellow bell pepper, sour and spicy sweet and fragrant is still very delicious, think about it and drool.
Uncle Fan's restoration is very good, the ingredients are fish cakes, dried squid, beef jerky, peanut rice, and soul yellow pepper.
The way to eat is to mix the powder, remember to cook the noodles first, and then add the marinade to the water to make a viscous mixture, remember not to put too much water, and then add the cooked ingredients, pour in the seasonings and mix well, eat sour and spicy and the delicious seafood. (Warm reminder to eat yellow pepper as appropriate)
/Wenchang Baoluo Powder/
Wenchang not only has chicken delicious, but the powder is also really outstanding, and this powder is named after Wenchang Baoluo Town.
Many people often confuse Baoluo powder with Hainan powder.
In fact, the difference between it and Hainan powder is that the noodles of Baoluo powder are larger, and the round and slippery noodles are also called "Hainan's Udon", and the taste of Baoluo powder marinade is sweeter.
It can be mixed dry or broth, suck it into the mouth, refreshing and soft, and make people want to stop.
The ingredients are very rich, the crispy bamboo shoots and sauerkraut peanuts and rice are very complete, and the amount of rice noodles after boiling is very sufficient.
The sauce is just right to boil out the viscous thickness, and after stirring, it is a special appetizer of salty and sweet taste.

/Wenchang Chicken/
In Hainan, "no chicken is no banquet, and guests must order Wenchang chicken."
As the first of the four famous dishes in Hainan, Wenchang chicken, its source is located in Wenchangtan Niu Town, the biggest feature is that the skin is thin, the meat is sweet and tender, and it is elastic.
In addition to good meat, just the right sauce is also a must.
The dipping sauce consists of chicken broth, coriander (wenchang people call it "chicken dish"), ginger mashed sand ginger juice, garlic juice and the essential Hainan green orange!
/Coconut chicken hot pot/
In Wenchang, Hainan, the quality of coconuts and chickens has great advantages, and even many chickens grow up eating coconut and banyan seeds, and there are many restaurants in Hainan that specialize in coconut chickens.
The unique flavor of coconut juice, combined with refreshing coconut meat and fresh and delicious chicken, coupled with special dipping sauces such as garlic paste and Hainan chili sauce, soaked in coconut fragrant chicken, fresh and pleasant!
The soup base is very refreshing, and it will not get greasy after cooking for a long time. (Is my favorite hot pot TOP3!) ）
/Wenchang Jinshan beef jerky/
In addition to the famous Wenchang chicken, the town of Jinshan in Wenchang is also rich in delicious beef jerky.
It is said that many people in the Jinshan area first went down to Southeast Asia and other countries, and in the past, it took more than ten and a half days to cross the sea on a small sailing boat to make this kind of resistant and lightweight beef jerky.
This Zhang Xiong beef jerky is a local old brand, the meat is firm, but it is dry and hard, with a spicy and five-spice flavor, which belongs to the kind that becomes more and more fragrant the more chewed.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="260" >03 has a complete coconut collection to lock in the summer atmosphere of The South Sea</h1>
/Coconut flour/
A ball is coconut control, coconut itself and food made of coconut I love! So try a lot of coconut series delicacies.
Southern coconut flour is really an artifact that I buy back every day.
This is a sugar-free virgin coconut powder concept, individually packaged, directly rinsed to brew, with a strong coconut flavor and natural slightly sweet.
And in addition to direct brewing, it is also the best companion for French pressed coffee, and it can even be put into Tom Yin Gong soup and coconut grove mustary.
/Hainan coconut rice/
In many parts of Hainan, there are also snacks made of coconut meat and sticky rice, coconut rice (also known as coconut boat).
Coconut meat, coconut milk and sticky rice are combined to combine soft and hard, with a rich coconut flavor and a tropical atmosphere.
There are two flavors in the southern country, the original flavor, the red date flavor, the original taste of spring light and the taste of Wenchang chicken.
It is suitable for cutting eight small pieces of coconut rice like cutting watermelon, and then steaming for 30 minutes, so that the steaming will be thorough, the coconut meat will be soft and sticky, and the sweetness is just right.
/Unlimited buy-back coconut snacks/
Southern coconut sugar and coconut flakes are small snacks that I stock up on every day.
Coconut sugar is made with Hainan red coconut, which has a rich silky taste after the fusion of coconut milk and caramel, but it is not too sweet, and it is just right when you are relieved.
Their coconut flakes also belong to the taste that is not too sweet, in addition to eating directly, I usually use yogurt to mix ice cream, crispy and crispy can not stop.
Coconut crepes I prefer spring light, many locals will choose this cookie with "Gobio" (black coffee), their favorite afternoon tea.
There is also a local Amway's old brand Sun River, this coconut-flavored shortbread is also very fragrant, with milk to eat more fragrant, looks is also full of ancient taste.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="261" >04 sweet and sour sauce</h1>
/Yellow Lantern Pepper/
The yellow lantern chili sauce with a high rate of appearance in the previous Amway Hainan powder can be seen almost everywhere in Hainan, and its spiciness can almost subvert our impression of Hainan.
There was once such an interesting thing: when a Hainan female college student who went to school in Chongqing returned to school after her vacation, her father stuffed 10 cans of Hainan special peppers into her suitcase.
The father crouched next to his daughter's suitcase and said, "I'm afraid you won't eat enough for a semester, and I'm afraid that the peppers in Chongqing are not spicy enough." “
The pepper that the father stuffed into his daughter's suitcase was a yellow lantern chili sauce specially produced in Hainan.
First of all, in the raw materials, yellow bell pepper is far more spicy than Chuanxiang's Chaotian pepper and millet pepper.
Because it is too spicy to eat directly, the Hainan people pickle and ferment it and make a chili sauce.
The taste of yellow lantern chili sauce from different manufacturers is slightly different, and the spicy and sour in the spring light is closer to the pickled pepper, which is suitable for mixing noodles and mixing rice, which is relatively more versatile.
The southern country will be a little saltier, but there are several spicy degrees to choose from, more humane, suitable for hot pot dipping.
/Dross vinegar/
Bad yeast vinegar is a traditional folk snack that originated in Wenchang Puqian Town.
A snack made of sour vinegar from the fermentation of sake lees produced during the folk sake brewing process, plus vegetables, seafood, animal offal, crisp bones, etc., and the accessories are accompanied by chili peppers, sugar, monosodium glutamate, etc.
The taste is slightly spicy, sweet and sour, super in line with Wenchang's climatic characteristics, and is often eaten as a pre-dinner appetizer snack.
@goericgo
Bad goose cream is especially suitable for buying homemade bad vinegar hot pot, super appetizing!
Delicious shop front dregs vinegar, one is authentic dross vinegar, the other is to have a wealth of condiments, if there is a rich variety of seafood has a preemptive visual effect, has been considered a large part of the success,
Of course, there are many sea vegetables and green vegetables that are also indispensable, and the meat is perfectly matched, and the taste is pure and mellow.

This picture is a very common dip combination in Hainan, and the rightmost one in the lower row is the assorted sauce.
Because everything is added to the inside, it looks slightly like tahini, the taste is fresh and sweet, and it is a little sour, and it is remembered after trying it in Hainan.
/Canned coconut butter/
Full of old style @ Chinese and Western food
The last Amway is the childhood memories of Hainanese people - canned coconut sauce.
Compared to coconut sauce, it is actually more like coconut-flavored condensed milk.
There are many kinds of usages, especially suitable as a bread sauce, as a dessert condiment, can also be added to milk tea, coffee, milk, and even when stewing soup, some can be added to the soup to inject coconut flavor.
