1. Super contrast: Wen Heyou Stinky Tofu & Sugar-oiled Baba

The undisputed No. 1 delicacy in Changsha. This deliciousness comes not only from the food itself, but also from the huge deviation from people’s impressions. A piece of something that is dark and smells a little weird. Even the name is bad. Others watch the diners eating with gusto and can't understand it at all. But looking at the expressions of others who can't stop after eating, as a gourmet with a heart You struggle to put the most disgusting piece of food in history into your mouth, and then the door to a new world opens for you. And if you ask me which of the dozens of different brands of stinky tofu in Changsha is the most delicious, I would definitely recommend Wenheyou Stinky Tofu. Among them, the Wenheyou store located on Pozi Street is the one I must visit every time I pass by. Apart from the big pot used to fry stinky tofu, which is bigger than a bathtub, I am already attracted by it. my heart.

In addition, you can also taste another characteristic local delicacy of Changsha: sugar oil cake. Because of the word "baba" and its seemingly sticky texture, I had a preconceived resistance at the beginning, and I have never been able to accept this food. But when I first tasted this Changsha people's favorite After reading the folk snacks, I deeply realized that I had missed so much before. The same is true for stinky tofu. If you have a sweet tooth, you definitely can’t miss it.

2. Super sweet: the tea is delicious

Changsha No. Yiwang Black Tea is the only black tea brand that has an unshakable king position in the Changsha milk tea industry. In the Jiefang West Road business district, you don’t have to worry about not finding this internet-famous milk tea shop. On the contrary, don’t use this shop as a place to meet your friends, because it’s near Jiefang West Road. There are really too many branches of Se, and there are at least three to four branches on each road. The amazing thing is that every one of them has to queue up. However, in Lujiao Alley in Duguqiufei, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, when you come to Changsha, it is crowded. , one can imagine how high the status of tea in Changsha is. As for the taste, Chayanyuese milk tea is relatively light but not greasy. It does not have the heavy cheese texture of Heytea, but it can bring out the mellower flavor of the tea.

3. Super authentic: a lamp

How can you come to Changsha without trying Hunan home-cooked food? Near Jiefang West Road, you can easily taste the most authentic Hunan home-cooked food vegetable. Yi Lan Deng started out as a fly shop on the roadside, but as the saying goes, good wine is not afraid of deep alleys. The accumulated popularity has created this restaurant with local characteristics in Changsha. The location of the restaurant is not easy to find, but the hall is packed with people queuing up every day, which shows how popular it is. The environment and products here are all typical of old Changsha, which is rough, exciting and informal. The most recommended dish is the Dongpo Pork. The satisfying feeling of melting cholesterol in your mouth instantly fills your mouth and makes you fatter. So why not? The fried vegetables with lard residue here is also full of the taste of childhood. It is now difficult to eat such authentic lard flavor in restaurants. Other dishes are also typical of Hunan. For me, a native Cantonese, they are a bit spicy and life-threatening, but it does not prevent me from exploring the delicious food.
