Last week, I finally went to Haikou, where I was thinking about it.
To tell the truth, Haikou is a city that will make people feel relaxed, and almost every editor sister will like it when she comes. Some people like its "looseness", some people like the sour and spicy strange taste here...
Living in Haikou, going out to see the sea, feeling anxious, you can drink tea with "dads", like sports, and can go to the seaside park to run at any time.
Prices here are also relatively low, whether it is hotels, air tickets or catering prices, almost 1/2 of Sanya (Christmas and New Year's round-trip air ticket prices are less than 1000).
If you're good at duty-free shops, the price of your ticket can also be earned back in minutes.
Such a haikou can be used as a place for weekend vacations, and can also be used as a starting point for self-driving trips around Hainan Island.
This time to Haikou, I did not arrange too much itinerary, every day is to follow the rhythm of Haikou people to get up late, drink morning tea, walk, watch the sea, eat hot pot.
Spent 48 hours of happiness in eating and walking.
<h1>Haikou days, from morning tea to bad vinegar</h1>
Coming to Haikou does not necessarily have to eat seafood, in fact, There are many Hainan specialties, per capita less than 50, you can eat the support wall, Guagua students have written a very detailed article before [Dunton per capita is less than 50, I ate a full sense of happiness in Haikou].
It includes the most worth eating in Haikou: Hainan noodles, seafood, dad tea, Wenchang chicken, Qingtongliang and spicy soup rice.
Haikou is really delicious! The food here is grounded, cost-effective, and the atmosphere of life in the city is strong. No wonder Hainan people always say: "Live in Boao, play in Sanya, eat in Haikou."
This time, on the basis of Guagua's classmates, I will add a few very special tea shops and rotten vinegar hot pot restaurants in Haikou.
Coconut Edge Tea Garden - full of seats after three o'clock
Address: Haikou Meilan District Qunshang Road No. 246
Business hours: 07:30-21:00
If you want to feel the slow life of Haikou, you have to start with tea.
As the intersection of Nanyang culture and Central Plains culture, Hainan has a morning tea culture that is not inferior to Guangzhou. Here, there are morning tea, afternoon tea, evening tea, any time you want to drink tea you can find a tea shop.
Most of these tea shops are scattered in the community and alleys, and the stores are not large, but the categories are really super rich!
There are not only Cantonese dim sum such as egg tarts and durian puff pastry, but also Hainanese flour, coconut buns, taro buns, mango buns...
This coconut fragrant tea garden is a special favorite of nearby residents, if you go in the afternoon, you will see a lot of elderly people gathered here to chat. The atmosphere here is very good, and the hygiene is cleaner than the fly house.
Even on weekday afternoons, after three o'clock, the seats are almost full.
The shop is full of refreshments, and there are many memories of ancient breakfast hearts, such as tapioca pancakes, egg scatter, Cantonese wontons, etc., where you can also drink old salt lemonade.
The price of bread usually ranges from 3-5 yuan, like the three-star bun inside, and the filling also has three flavors to choose from: taro paste, char siu, and bean paste.
Radish cake must be ordered at every table, and his family's radish cake has also been on a local food program. The radish cake is fried crispy on the outside, and the taste inside is still soft and sticky, unlike the impression of the lumpy radish cake, which is broken and flattened and mixed with egg liquid to fry.
Eat it with sweet vinegar sauce and it will not be greasy at all.
Genting Tea House - a tea shop where Dad Tea Grade 10 enthusiasts gather
Address: No. 21 Xingdan Road, Haikou
Opening hours: 7:00-11:00 in the morning, 14:30-5:30 in the morning
Every morning tea shop in Haikou has its own expertise, and this Genting Tea House on Xingdan Road is particularly awesome: ice coffee bumping milk, Hainan powder and chicken wings!
Its signature milk coffee, the milk flavor is very full, the coffee here will taste sweet, for people like me who do not drink coffee, just right, the taste is rich, and it will not be bitter.
Remember not to order too many pastries as soon as you enter the door, these are actually close to the taste of Guangzhou, suitable for eating in the back.
Went to grab garlic chicken wings, this is really super fragrant! The chicken wings here are fried whole wings, super solid, chicken wings garlic juicy, charred crisp and sweet.
Every time the pot comes out, it will be robbed.
Let me add a few more Tips for going to a tea shop for tea:
1) Don't say "Waiter, come to the pot of daddy tea" as soon as you come up, because daddy tea is actually a collective term for Hainanese afternoon tea.
2) In the tea shops in Haikou, the bottom of black tea, green tea and other teas is mostly precipitated with rich sugar granules, while milk tea, coffee, etc. are a thick layer of condensed milk. Don't stir it up as soon as it comes up (otherwise it's sweet), this one is reserved for refills.
3) Traditional refreshments do not sell iced tea, only hot tea in a small cup of white porcelain, cup by cup slowly drinking is the authentic dad tea.
4) Don't order too much at once! The older generation of Haikou people drink daddy tea, generally a cup of tea and a bag to get it done. The biggest meaning of drinking tea is actually chatting.
5) How to identify Haikou people? The one who brings his own tea bag must be a senior tea guest of the tenth grade of Dad Tea.
Next, let's talk about the rotten vinegar.
We are not unfamiliar with the dross, which is the "dross" left by winemaking. But what I didn't expect was that it could be brewed and can also become a sour and sweet vinegar.
Add fried garlic, locally produced hot sauce and oil to boil, become the perfect soup base, used to be rotten vinegar can be powdered, in recent years especially popular with it to cook hot pot.

Beef special beef lees vinegar hot pot - eat beef and seafood all at once
Address: Guomao Sanheng Road, Jinghua City West Gate D area on the first floor
Business hours: 10:00-14:00 17:00-24:00
The first time I came to Haikou, a local friend told me to definitely try the bad vinegar hot pot.
The little brother in the shop, when he entered the door, said to us, "Hainan's peppers are not spicy, or you will have a medium spicy at the bottom of the pot!" ”
As a result, the first bite of the soup base, I almost did not cry.
The taste is too rich, sour and spicy, and the spicy is very direct, not spicy, it is the kind that feels like tears are about to flow down after drinking a sip.
I have no experience, and I actually put chili sauce on the dipping sauce.
Later, the aunt in the shop taught me to properly blend the dipping sauce: using the small green orange + assorted sauce, which is the representative of hainan style, which is the basic combination of a bad vinegar dipping dish, and there is no need to add anything.
After gradually getting used to this spicy, I found that everything in the rotten vinegar was really delicious. Hainan's hand-beaten beef balls are very smooth and tender, although not as strong as Chaoshan, but they are another delicious taste.
In addition to beef balls, shabu-shabu oysters, seaweed, sea white, and tender beef are all good, the ingredients in the shop are very fresh, and the soup base is better and more delicious under the blessing of seafood and beef.
Unlike other hot pot soup bases, the dross vinegar is also particularly appetizing, so it can really help you eat a lot of meat.
Authentic shop before the three women's rotten vinegar
Address: Haikou Longhua District Yilonghou Road Longquan Building next to
Business hours: 12:00-21:00
If you can't eat hot pot alone, I recommend going to a small shop that sells rotten vinegar. Here you can use the rotten vinegar to burn powder, a small bowl of powder, you can put sea vegetables, shrimp, powder, shellfish, sandworms.
A standard powder is only 10 yuan, and the store will pour the soup with bad vinegar when it comes out of the pot. The soup in front of this authentic shop is really good, and when you go to eat, you will see that many locals are even drinking the soup clean.
If there is not enough to add materials, small hairy crabs are only 5 yuan a (there is also crab yellow inside), 5 yuan / one in the middle of the snail, 5 yuan / 2 pippi shrimp, really too suitable for one person to eat, the amount is also very sufficient!
After eating, if you like it, you can also buy a few bottles of rotten vinegar filled with plastic bottles.
