People take food as the sky, people's pursuit of food has never stopped, once popular in Shenzhou food documentary "China on the tip of the tongue" with a fire one after another very distinctive local cuisine, the achievement of one after another local business cards, net red famous food, Beihai Old Street shrimp cake is one of them.
As land, sea and air transportation becomes more and more convenient, tourists come to Beihai every year, and in the famous Beihai Old Street, shrimp cakes with a piece of hand are almost the standard for tourists. Walking through this nearly 100-year-old street, the bustling crowd, the scene of tasting delicious shrimp cakes, has become the most common scenery of the old street.
You can not shop, you can not understand the history of the old street, but the pursuit of food makes people always find the happiest topic, come to Beihai, do not taste shrimp cake, can not be regarded as coming to Beihai.
Since being included in "China on the Tip of the Tongue", Beihai Old Street is crowded with many shrimp cake shops, and century-old shops, authentic, old-fashioned, traditional and other words are filled with shrimp shops of various "aunts".
In the old street, there is a shrimp cake shop is fortunate to become the "tip of the tongue of China" shooting scene, the result has become the Beihai shrimp cake "net red punch point", every day in front of the store door can always see a long line of shooting, exaggerated, the line can continue tens of meters, blocking the originally not too wide old street.
Buy a "shrimp cake on the list", the first half hour is not a thing at all, there can be a partner rotation in the middle, that is the best, but more are standing alone in this way, like the girl in front of you for a full 55 minutes, has been tired a little irritable, but when you get your own 6 shrimp cakes, you are still excited to dance.
Eat a piece of "well-known brand" shrimp cake, take a photo, leave a souvenir, send a circle of friends to advertise, "Beihai I came, I finally ate the North Sea shrimp cake", has been the standard project of many people's trip to the North Sea.
In comparison, the shrimp cakes of other "brands" appear much more deserted in front of the door, even if they can be fried and taken immediately, and the spray is crispy, but there are still not many people who buy them.
There are too many people in the past of the "net red shop", and other shrimp cake shops on the old street have become a good place for tourists to explore the production process. Encountering some enthusiastic stores will make customers feel embarrassed and buy one and a half when they leave, but there are also some stores that directly drive away those customers who are only curious and have no intention of buying.
In fact, the shrimp cake making process is not complicated, it is a snack in people's daily life, ordinary to the point of being like the "fritters" around us.
In the final history, it is said that the shrimp that used to make shrimp cakes in front of the Beihai seafood that has a natural large fishery in the Beibu Gulf is simply a tasteless thing that is discarded. Later, the skillful woman thought of processing it with flour to make today's crisp and refreshing shrimp cake, and continued to do so. The materials used in shrimp cakes are much the same, and there is no need for the so-called "unique recipe".
Different shops, the taste is slightly different, the proportion of flour and shrimp depends on the time, depending on the customer, according to the master's craftsmanship, customer needs, frying heat is slightly different.
In order to identify whether there is a difference in the taste of the shrimp cake in Laojie, I made an appointment with a few small partners, took turns queuing in front of the net red shop, spent nearly an hour to buy shrimp cakes, and then bought a few pieces of shrimp cakes from other stores, put them together, and everyone tasted them separately, and the conclusion was: the difference is not big.
