Come to Hangzhou, in addition to the West Lake, Lingyin Temple, Nine Streams and Eighteen Streams and other beautiful scenery worth seeing, Hangzhou cuisine, which is known as one of the new eight major cuisines and an important part of Zhejiang cuisine, cannot be missed. What smoked fish, fragrant brine, Dongpo meat, sliced river, etc., now that I think about it, I have to drool.
01
Well-known Hang Bang cuisine
/ Jiulijia Laodizi Hangbang Cuisine (chain)/
The reason for choosing this restaurant is simple: it is a chain of Hangbang restaurants that are open until the early hours of the morning. Entering the store at 9 o'clock in the evening is still full of popularity and does not look lonely.
Dongpo meat
When you come to Hangzhou, there is no reason not to try Dongpo meat, after all, its wife is too famous.
Compared with the braised pork common in general restaurants, although Dongpo meat is also salty, sweet and fat, it is all revealed from the plate and size.
Most braised pork is cut to the right size before cooking. Dongpo meat is cut into a large square meat, when served, a whole piece into a bowl, fat and thin five flowers and three layers burned red, look soft and elastic. After serving the food, the waiter cuts the cube-shaped braised pork into several pieces suitable for the entrance in front of the diners.
Dongpo meat is divided into several portions on site
The diced braised pork is shiny, the entrance is smooth and soft but fat but not greasy, the sweet and salty ratio is just right, and with the sauce, it is a sure rice killer.
Longjing shrimp
In Hangzhou cuisine, Longjing shrimp should be another famous dish with the same status as Dongpo meat, after all, Hangzhou is the well-known origin of Longjing, and this dish is one of the top ten famous dishes in Zhejiang Province.
The buds of Longjing tea are accompanied by fresh shrimp, and the aroma of tea and shrimp are intertwined, and "green color, fragrant, sweet taste, and beautiful shape" are the characteristics of this dish.
But I don't know if it is because I have too high expectations for this dish, Jiulijia's Longjing shrimp did not feel the freshness of tea, nor did it feel the deliciousness of shrimp, as if eating a lonely.
/ Hangzhou Restaurant (Yan'an Road Store)/
Hangzhou Restaurant, an old restaurant founded in the 1920s, is famous on the Hangzhou gang cuisine list. Yan'an Road store is located on the commercial street, the location is very strategic.
If you want to eat this restaurant, you must arrange a good time, early, and then early. The evening show is open from 5 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. When I went, at about 5:30 there were already nearly 40 tables in line, waiting in line for an hour or so, the meal time was just right, and the waiting time could go around and taste the small snacks of Zhiweiguan and Daxing cake dumplings.
Snacks for Daxing cake dumplings
Most of the Hangzhou dishes that can be thought of can be eaten in this restaurant. However, the disadvantage of a person's travel is that the amount of food is too much, and after entanglement and entanglement, the choice is not very large but very distinctive Hangzhou cuisine.
Hangzhou smoked fish
Smoked fish are eaten in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, but the ingredients and tastes are slightly different. Smoked fish is fried in oil and then marinated in various ingredients such as soy sauce and rice wine.
Compared with the smoked fish in Shanghai, the smoked fish in Hangzhou is less sweet and more salty, with spices and heavy wine aromas.
The shell of Hangzhou smoked fish is crisp but not chai, the fish is full of soaked juice, and the fried food is mixed with complex spices, bringing an irrepressible pleasure of greed. What's even more is that because the fish has been fried enough to be crispy, the small fish bones can be eaten directly and are very fragrant.
Rotten chicken feet
Since you came to Hangzhou, how can you not taste the bad brine!
Bad brine is a type of marinade that has evolved from aged lees. Dried lees (aged sake lees) are seasoned with rice wine, salt, etc. to make a marinade.
There are many types of bad brine, from vegetarian flowers and hairs, to meat-eating rotten chickens to all kinds of strange parts enthusiasts are difficult to give up the internal organs, tongue, etc. They are also much the same way, and the food that needs to be badly marinated is cooked, marinated in the bad marinade, and then eaten.
Bad brine chicken feet, a big class in bad brine, a person who likes to eat chicken feet, how can he withstand such a temptation.
Hangzhou restaurant's fragrant chicken feet, rich wine aroma and five spices complement each other, and his smoked fish is similar to the magic. Chicken feet are very flavorful, and for a picky chicken claw eater, the chicken skin Q is elastic and chewy, far beyond the degree of excellence.
The endless chicken feet are packed and taken away, which is the best partner when watching dramas and drinking at night.
Vince Tofu
Wensi tofu, a bowl of one person, a tofu feast that has been passed down since the Qing Dynasty.
Rather than testing diners, this dish is more like a constant test of the chef's knife work. Tofu is first sliced with a knife and then shredded, as thin as a hair and constantly shaped, can be called Wensi tofu.
Wensi tofu is not as refreshing as tofu soup, but more intense as tofu soup.
The snow-white Wensi tofu is smooth in the mouth, with the unique aroma of tofu but can not eat the taste of tofu, from the visual experience is very magical, but from the overall taste, salty...
02
Shop around and eat snacks
Perhaps one of the great significance of travel is to eat and eat. When you are tired of walking, find a shop to rest your feet and eat; when you are full, get up and walk around again to consume food.
Compared with the meal of the Eight Classics, the snack bar on the side of the road is an indispensable part of the itinerary.
/ Zhao Baomei Dim Sum Shop /
Zhao Baomei dim sum, originally called "Baomei dim sum", is said to be a lot of Hangzhou people from snacks to large shops, the top stream in the Hangzhou breakfast industry, more than six o'clock in the morning to open until noon, raw fried, wontons are freshly wrapped on the day, eat that bite of fresh.
Raw fried
Zhao Baomei's family is raw fried, small, just the amount of one bite. Although it doesn't seem like a big amount, for the average girl, a few raw fried and then a bowl of wontons is enough.
The "special onion fried bun" in the public review ranking is "raw fried"
Fried at the bottom until golden and crispy, sprinkled with green onions on the top, it tastes solid and very full, but it is easy to get greasy when eaten, and can be served with vinegar and chili sauce. For friends who eat salt, it seems slightly salty.
ravioli
Wontons are divided into vegetable meat ravioli and fresh meat small ravioli. After ordering, the boss will give small signs of different colors according to different orders, and then go to pick up the meal.
The ravioli soup with green onions, pickles, etc. is first lined up on the table, and then the boiled ravioli soup is poured in, and finally the cooked wontons are added.
The cooked ravioli soup is very fragrant, with a little sesame oil flavor, and the amount of vegetables and meat filling in the vegetable meat ravioli is very sufficient, worthy of its title of large ravioli.
/ Fang Lao Da Mian /
If nominating a shop makes me haunt my dreams after leaving Hangzhou, there is no doubt that it must be Fang Laoda.
Fang Lao Noodles is probably one of the most polite but also the most humane shops I have ever been to. The smoking ban in the store is only the basic rule, and the rule of "having a face and a seat, no face without a seat" avoids the embarrassing scene of many people in the small shop, carrying the noodles but not finding a seat. When ordering, it is more humane, the noodles are more faceted and less, the noodles are soft and hard, and the sauce toppings are rich or light, which can be adapted to the personal taste 1v1.
The food intake is densely packed with various precautions and warm tips
Fang Lao Da noodles are divided into two kinds: Kata er Chuan and MixEd River. When ordering, I asked the boss why this noodle was called Kataergawa and Mixed River, and the boss said that because most of the toppings were cut into slices, and "Chuan" and "汆" were homophonous, shouting and shouting became Slices of Erchuan. And mixed river, as the name suggests, is mixed noodles.
Slices of sichuan with soup, mixed with sichuan dry mix, but which one is the tube, the noodles and toppings are made separately. Waiting at the dining window, you can see the little sister in the kitchen tossing and turning spoons, stir-frying, and playing with ease.
Fang Lao Noodles started as an eel, and when you come here, you must try his eel toppings. Waist flowers, popping eel slices, shrimp popcorns, yellow croaker... There are so many choices that it is simply a nightmare for tangled patients.
Tasted waist flower eggplant juice + eel mixed with Sichuan, waist flowers tender, eel caramel caramel, with plum vegetables and leeks noodle soup, moderate sweet and sour.

And snow shoots yellow fish fillets, fish pastry fresh, of course, if you want to eat more authentically, then when ordering, you must not forget to let the boss add a free oil residue to you.

/ Some small street noodle shops /
In addition to the more famous shops such as Boss Fang, there are also countless noodle shops of all sizes scattered in the streets of Hangzhou. In the small noodle shop near the Lingyin Scenic Area, in addition to the Kataer River and the Mixed River, there is also a special kind of noodles, that is, vegetarian noodles.
This bowl of vegetarian noodles is actually a bowl of vegetarian mixed sichuan
Vegetarian noodles were first served to monks, so there are many near Faxi Temple and Lingyin Temple. Compared with ordinary noodles, vegetarian noodles do not have green onions, ginger, garlic, lard, oil residue, etc.
Plain noodles
In addition, vegetarian noodles also have a variety of different flavors of toppings such as vegetarian chicken and double mushrooms.
/ Fengqi Market /
Fengqi Vegetable Market, a farmer's market that includes all kinds of cooked snacks, comes out of Exit B of Jianguo North Road Station, and you can see many uncles and aunts queuing in front of a row of delicatessens. Crispy fish, honey root, marinade... Everything.
There's so much to eat in the farmer's market
After hesitating and hesitating, he finally chose the snowy crispy fish and Fang Grandpa Fang's grandmother honey lotus. The crispy fish are freshly cut and fried, and the well-made crispy fish is crispy and fragrant, similar to the smoked fish taste of Hangzhou restaurants; and the honey root of Grandpa Fang's family is very hot, the honey root can help cut, the taste is soft and sticky and not sweet, even if people who do not like sweetness, it is easy to "addictive".
Glutinous rice root
There are so many delicacies in Hangzhou that you can't eat them at one time, but it's okay, we're coming to Japan for a long time.
This time did not eat West Lake vinegar fish, please eat friends to tell me about what it is like~
