Speaking of the traffic in Haikou, we can forget about the food in Haikou. In fact, everyone knows that the food by the sea is generally nothing more than seafood, but there are many delicious things in Haikou besides seafood. Let's go and see where it is. Gourmet

1. Seafood

The taste of southern cuisine tends to be Cantonese, with a light taste. It retains the original flavor of the ingredients and does not like spicy food. A common way for Hainan people to eat seafood is a side furnace, which is a pot of clear soup. In addition, freshly cut seafood, delicious grouper, lively shrimp and various shellfish are absolutely environmentally friendly and natural without any artificial flavor. Dip it in Hainan's unique sauce, and match it with whatever flavor you want.

Haikou seafood recommendation: Jinshuimen, Banqiao Road seafood, Renmin Road seafood. Among them, the biggest attraction of Ren Minqiao Seafood Plaza is that it is next to the fishing port of Haidian Creek, and the fishing boats returning with full loads are directly sold to the fishmongers in Ren Minqiao Seafood Plaza on the shore. Not only are the ingredients fresh, but also the middlemen's price increase is avoided, and the price is very reasonable. Basically, locals buy seafood. Visitors can buy their own, and then go to the nearby restaurant to "process the materials", or sit down at the restaurant first and let the restaurant's "little brother/little sister" take you to the seafood market to buy ingredients.

2. Clear and cool

When it comes to Hainan desserts, everyone will mention clear and cool. Many mainland tourists say that this dessert exists like a god. It can be regarded as a unique flower in Hainan dessert industry, sweet and refreshing, cooling down and relieving summer heat. Other herbal teas, double skin milk, frozen lemon water, etc. are not as cool as they are, so they are welcomed by Haikou citizens. Speaking of Laba Festival and clearing away the cold, there is another joke.

Netizen: Do you Hainanese eat Laba porridge on Laba Festival

Hainanese: Is Laba porridge an eight-treasure porridge? Can by can? Delicious brand?

Netizen: It's not

Hainanese: Anyway, there are eight kinds of ingredients cooked together.

Netizen: Even so.

Hainanese: Then why don't I eat Qingbuliang? !

Qingbuliang is rich in ingredients, and there are various kinds of Qingbuliang, with more than 21 kinds of ingredients. Coconut Qingbuliang, Coconut Milk Qingbuliang and Sand Ice Qingbuliang have won the love of different people, and of course, you need to taste each one. Now there are improved varieties, such as ice cream Qingbuliang, which were also very popular when they first went on the market.

Recommended place: Wenchang Dengji Qingbuliang: Qingbuliang in a long queue every night in summer. Compared with smoothies in other places, the taste here is closer to that of ice cream, with a larger proportion of creamy taste, but sweet but not greasy. Unlike the taste of smoothies in other places, Deng Ji is more like ice cream frozen with coconut cream.

Address: the intersection of Xisha Road and Wanhua Road

Coconut Language Hall: The first one has put Qingbuliang into shopping centers and business districts, and the decoration is also very "high". There are also popular Hainan snacks such as chicken excrement rattan and coconut milk sorbet, so you may wish to have a try.

3. Hainan powder

The local breakfasts in Hainan are mainly all kinds of powders and noodles, such as abalone powder, Hainan powder, powder soup, Houan powder, Lingshui acid powder, Gangmen powder, etc. There are some dry ones and some with soup. I have eaten them in breakfast shops and roadside stalls in Hainan for countless times, but I still can't tell them apart. I can only look at the next table.

Let's talk about Hainan powder in detail. The authentic Hainan powder is made of fine rice flour as the main material, with ingredients such as sauerkraut, coriander, soybean sprouts, shredded beef, black sesame seeds and peanut kernels, and then sprinkled with a layer of secret bamboo shoot sauce. Diners should mix the powder evenly before eating, and add some Chili sauce according to their taste preference. Hainan powder is usually eaten at breakfast. Whether Hainan powder is delicious or not depends largely on the sauce. Marinated Hainan powder, marinated abalone powder and noodle soup are all local breakfasts in Hainan, so you might as well try them.

recommended shop: there is a well-known unknown Hainan powder shop hidden in Ximen Antique Street, Haikou, which is usually called "Yamei Powder Shop" or "Amei Powder Shop". This shop sells hundreds of kilograms of Hainan powder every day, and the diners are also varied, including old people, children, students and office workers. Even old overseas Chinese will come and go several times when they return to Haikou, and they will have to pack up and take them away if they don't eat enough.

4. Pig's foot rice

Pig's foot rice can be said to be a special "Hainan fast food": a bowl of oil rice, a bowl of pig's feet and a bowl of clear soup (usually free sauerkraut clear soup). Billboards in front of snack bars operating fast food can be seen everywhere in Hainan. "Our restaurant operates pork knuckle rice and beef brisket rice".

The rice used for authentic Hainan pig's feet rice is early indica rice, which is neither soft nor fragrant, but the skin is very solid. If you pour a spoonful of pig's feet with soup and meat, it will be delicious enough, and it will be easy to eat and carry hunger. Food street

I also want to know more about Haikou. A food snack street is essential. Look at the street flavor of Haikou and taste the most authentic taste of the tip of the tongue.

1. arcade snack street

the emergence of Haikou arcade snack street is a milestone. It is the first food street covering almost all Qiongtai-style snacks in Haikou. For tourists who have no leisure to walk around looking for food, Qilou Snack Street provides a one-stop space for tasting authentic Hainan

food.

There is an open-air square in the arcade snack street, which is full of tourists from all directions in the midsummer night, and there are various food stalls on both sides. On the second floor, the "New Datong Dad Teahouse" and "Banqiao Seafood Supermarket Restaurant" with the imprint of the old Haikou have also been launched, but their service groups are "tourists" after all, and they have a strong feeling of "scenic spots".

2. Tailong City Snack Street

This is the Qiongtai Snack Street in Tailong City, which young people in Haikou prefer to visit. Tailongcheng Snack Street is more than ten years earlier than Qilou Snack Street. The boss and proprietress are both Taiwan Province. In addition to Hainanese snacks, there are also more than a dozen famous Taiwan Province snack stalls run by Taiwan Province people, such as salted chicken, oyster omelet, large intestine wrapped in small intestine, braised pork rice and so on. Tailongcheng snack street is adjacent to Qilou snack street, less than 51 meters away.

3. South Gate Snack Street of Hainan University

The "Haida South Gate Snack Street" consists of more than 51 mobile stalls, which are closed during the day. In the evening, the dining cars are pushed over one after another, lined up along the 211-meter-long bicycle lane, and placed with small tables and stools, waiting for the arrival of a "midnight snack group" mainly composed of sea college students and nearby residents. There are not only all kinds of Hainan foods, but also Sichuan spicy soup, Chongqing Xiao noodles, Shaanxi Chinese hamburger, Xinjiang barbecue and other well-known snacks all over the country.

PS: "Chen Ji Hainan's No.1 Qingbuliang" is recognized as the best food in this street. The difference between the main ingredients of their family's qingbuliang and other qingbuliang lies in the addition of fruits such as watermelon and pineapple. Other

in Haikou, it would be a pity if they missed the delicious food in the arcade snack street. Qilou Snack Street is actually not a street, but a food city, which includes the special snacks from all over Hainan: Hainan powder, crab porridge, abalone powder, Qingbuliang, Wenchang chicken, coconut rice, roasted squid, roast suckling pig, rice rolls, Hainan coconut boat, Hainan radish cake, Qionghai hot spring goose, pineapple rice, roasted oysters, snails, durian crisp and spicy.

Coconut stew

The "Tailong City" next to the arcade snack street is also worth visiting. In fact, it is a snack street, which is a bit like a night market in Taiwan. The variety of snacks is not less than that of the arcade snack street, and the two places are less than 111 meters apart, which is very convenient.

Hainan's specialties are mainly coffee, pepper, yellow bell pepper, coconut products, tropical fruits and seafood. It's inevitable for family and friends. If you buy in Haikou, I suggest you choose a regular merchant and place an order after careful comparison.

North-South Fruit Market This is the largest fruit wholesale distribution center in Hainan, and the wholesale market with the most complete varieties and the largest sales coverage of tropical fruits in China. You can find all kinds of tropical fruits here. However, this place is mainly wholesale, and the price given by the boss of bulk sales is not low. If you want to buy here, it is best to have a local leader.

Dongmen Market mainly focuses on dried seafood and seafood. You can find all the ingredients on the dining table from grand hotels to ordinary people, and you can buy almost anything. There are many varieties, many vendors and uneven prices. Agree to suggest going under the leadership of local people.

Sun Moon Plaza is currently the largest shopping plaza in Haikou, which opened in 2116 and is located on Guoxing Avenue. HNA Investment has a large-scale duty-free shopping center (under construction). Come here and see the shopping malls where Haikou people go for shopping and eating.
