when I heard this proposal of offering a reward, my first reaction was: besides the well-known delicacies such as West Lake vinegar fish and Longjing shrimp, what innovative ideas can Hangzhou have? However, if you think about it carefully, there is still a lot of potential to be tapped and explored in Hangzhou's food culture. Below, I will share some ideas of Hangzhou cuisine that I think can be introduced based on my own experience and feelings.

First of all, as a city with a long history, Hangzhou has a very rich traditional food culture. For example, traditional snacks such as Lotus Cake, Jingyuan Cake and Old Yogurt are all delicacies in the mouth of Hangzhou people. Lotus cake is one of the signs of Hangzhou time-honored snack bar, with crisp skin, soft stuffing and delicious taste. Jingyuan cake is a traditional rice cake in Hangzhou, which tastes particularly delicious during the Spring Festival. Old yogurt is the favorite of Hangzhou people, with moderate sweet and sour taste, which can not only relieve summer heat but also regulate the stomach and intestines, and is a must-have food in summer. If these traditional foods can be promoted and improved, I believe they will be very popular.

Secondly, with the development of the times and the improvement of people's living standards, the food culture in Hangzhou is constantly innovating and developing. For example, creative foods such as smoked eggs and shrimps in Longjing have become one of the new business cards in Hangzhou. Smoked egg is a kind of egg made of tea and flowers, which can not only increase nutrition but also adjust taste, and is the first choice for modern healthy diet. Shrimp in Longjing is a delicious food that combines traditional Longjing tea with shrimp. It is rich in nutrition, delicate in taste, delicious and pleasant, and it is one of the must-eat foods in Hangzhou in summer. If we can develop more creative food, combine traditional food with modern food and promote it, I believe many people will be interested in it.

Finally, Hangzhou is a city with profound cultural background and rich cultural resources. In terms of food, we can also combine culture with beauty food and introduce some creative foods with local characteristics. For example, combining traditional Longjing tea in Hangzhou with Longjing shrimp in West Lake, a kind of Longjing shrimp tea rice was introduced; Combine traditional Hangzhou cuisine with western-style catering, and launch a Longjing shrimp burger and so on. This kind of food can not only satisfy people's taste buds, but also let foreign tourists better understand the culture and history of Hangzhou.

to sum up, Hangzhou's food culture has very rich potential and innovative space. We can innovate and explore from many angles, such as traditional cuisine, creative cuisine and cultural cuisine. I believe we can introduce more Hangzhou cuisine and let more people feel the charm of Hangzhou cuisine.
