if we travel to an unfamiliar place outside, how can we know which store in this place has the best and most authentic food?

(1) We all have this demand. How can we eat the most authentic food in a strange place?

For example, if I want to go to Xi 'an and I know that there is a very famous snack Chinese hamburger in Xi 'an on the Internet, how can I know where Chinese hamburger is in Xi 'an and which store has the best and most authentic Chinese hamburger?

first of all, I want to say that the best food is not necessarily the most authentic, and the most authentic food is not necessarily the best for you. Authentic is the practice of local people, and the taste of local people is not necessarily the taste of tourists.

If you want to eat the most authentic, ask the driver what you locals eat and what you eat when you take a taxi. This is definitely the most authentic. The best food is to look at the evaluation of major software. Those foods cater to tourists' tastes. Although they are suspected of advertising, they will be scolded if they are not delicious. It is definitely not bad to occupy the list for a long time.

(2) Knowing these seven steps, you will never step on thunder.

For example, if you want to eat the best and most authentic Chinese hamburger in Xi 'an:

Step 1: First, learn what is the most authentic Chinese hamburger.

Check Baidu Encyclopedia to understand the definition, history and classification of Chinese hamburger, so that you can roughly judge whether the food is authentic or not.

in Shaanxi, there are "meat-in-gravy buns" with Baiji steamed buns, meat-in-minced buns with vinegar in Xifu, Baoji, and Tongguan meat-in-gravy buns in Tongguan (unlike Baiji steamed buns, the buns are brown in appearance, with clear stripes, layered inside, puffy, crispy and tender skin, and the temperature is better when eating, and the old Tongguan meat-in-gravy buns are hot.

Go to Tik Tok and other video platforms to watch all kinds of food reviews and vlog about Chinese hamburger in Xi 'an. If you are interested, you can also watch various tutorials to have an intuitive understanding of Chinese hamburger.

the second step is to do a good job of raiders in advance, which is of course the most appropriate method. It is suggested to buy two sets of books, the New Atlas of go on road trip, China in 2122 and the Food Tour of China on the Tip of the Tongue in 2121, which are complete in content and placed in the car for easy reference at any time.

Step 3, ask a friend

If you have a friend in the local area, the friend is often the most reliable, but it is best for this friend to be a native or a friend who lives in the local area and loves to eat. The reason is very simple. One side feeds on the other side, and they eat more local restaurants than we do. In contrast, they naturally know where it is better

And they usually know which restaurant has been open for many years, where they ate in their childhood, where they often eat, and where it is not delicious ... Even if they don't take you to eat, it won't make you eat hard.

the fourth step, the method of asking strangers

This method is commonly used by me personally.

When you go to a strange place, it's never a wrong topic to talk about food, and you can find what you want to eat between conversations.

I usually ask that there are many service personnel in hotels or homestays, and some of them may talk to you about Kan Kan and tell you a lot. Some may just tell you 1-2; Some have helped you make a good choice of food before you leave.

the fifth step is to find local residential areas and local vegetable markets.

The vegetable market is a must for every gourmet to travel to the local area. There are the most special ingredients in this city, and here is the most real life of the city.

If you find something delicious in a strange city, you should first look near the vegetable market.

Step six, find street restaurants near residential areas and vegetable markets to see which families are large.

once I went to Xi' an, there was a steamed stuffed bun shop downstairs of the hotel, where uncles and aunts lined up every day. I was so curious that I asked the people in the queue and said it was an old shop for more than ten years. I ate it once, really. It can be said that this is the best meat steamed stuffed bun I have ever eaten.

Step 7, if there is a gourmet snack like Chinese hamburger, it depends on how many local people hold it. 6. Usually, this kind of gourmet snack is very common in the local area and not expensive, and most of the high-priced snacks are fired. I think avoiding tourist areas and night markets for tourists can basically prevent lightning.

(3) I always do this when I'm away on business, and the food keeps coming.

I ate the best Daoxiao Noodles once when I was on a business trip in Datong, Shanxi, and it was six yuan a bowl. It is no exaggeration to say that it was delicious enough to lick the plate. This shop is located in a street shop in a residential area. The storefront is not big, but there are many diners. That's why my colleagues and I went in to eat. It was delicious!

in residential areas, there are not many shops and many diners.

with these three points, it is absolutely guaranteed that the taste is authentic, the price is conscience, and you will not step on the thunder.

according to this principle, I ate steamed dumplings, a thief's delicious food, in Xi 'an, a thief's delicious Chinese hamburger and oil-sprinkled noodles, and a surprise called Douhua paomo. I don't know if you have eaten it, but I think it's delicious to eat at breakfast, but it's too much to eat.

(4) Authentic specialty snacks have the following three characteristics.

authentic local snacks should be found in a proper way. About the following points as observation points:

1, location. Authentic local snacks exist in the residential areas of the old city in the city, usually near the neighborhood where the local government is located. Buildings are mixed with old houses and some new buildings in the 1981s, and government agencies, such as police stations and district-level administrative units, are all squeezed in the cracks of dilapidated small buildings.

2. Shops, surroundings and customers. Shops are usually small in scale. In most cities, these specialty shops look shabby, not chain stores. The staff of the shops are generally older, and the cashier has a mixed social temperament. Most of the clerks speak local dialects. If you can park next to the shop, you will see luxury cars with local licenses parked together with ordinary cars, and there are more electric cars and bicycles. Among the customers in the store, you can see urban management, police and the like. Most of the customers speak local dialects, and they have to queue up during peak hours.

3. There are few catering contents, and at most there are 4-5 kinds of dry and wet combinations. Take my best Regan Noodles Pavilion as an example. It only offers Regan Noodles, rice noodles, oil dumplings, soybean milk and rice wine.

basically, an authentic local snacks is one that meets these requirements at the same time, which may be a small shop or just a semi-outdoor stall.

(5) The most authentic may only represent local tastes.

The most authentic one represents the local taste. It is not certain that tourists can accept this taste and find it delicious.

For local people's taste, you have to drill into the old residential areas. The buildings there are all small buildings with two or three floors, and the walls are mostly stone rice, and the oldest one is grey water, which is basically a restaurant for local people to eat. It is not necessarily big, but it can survive and tastes very local.
