Are there any friends like me who always like to eat the most authentic local food when visiting a place? This time I came to Langxi, Anhui for a self-driving trip. I think the local farm food is highly recommended. Because self-driving tours in Langxi are all in the natural scenery of the countryside, almost every meal is eaten at nearby farmhouses. The flavor of Langxi's food is typical Anhui cuisine, which is heavy in oil, salt, and spicy. Local farmhouses also like to use alcohol stoves or cassette stoves to heat the dishes and eat them at the same time. This will not only make the dish taste better but also keep it warm, which is very desirable.

Let’s talk about one of the dishes we had at Dacun Yujiale in Hubin Village, Feili Town, within the county jurisdiction! Because we are on the edge of Nanyi Lake, "the largest lake in southern Anhui", you must try the aquatic products here. The first recommendation is the big fish head soup, which tastes very delicious. It is one of the few things you can eat in Langxi with "umami taste". "The winning dish reminded me of the Tianmu Lake fish head from Langxi's "next door neighbor" Liyang, Jiangsu. Maybe its packaging is better? For example, another dish of small miscellaneous fish relies on the spiciness to make the scene stand out. It fully reflects the characteristics of Anhui cuisine and is very suitable for meals.

Many farmhouses also have their own cured meats and pickles. The amazing thing is that these cured meats and pickles look very similar, but the taste of each one is quite different. It is highly recommended to try them. .

Farmhouses like this one also have big rice cookers from the big firewood stove, which brings back a lot of childhood memories when they are served! In the past, when I was a kid, there were not many snacks, so it didn’t matter if the rice cakes cooled down. You could grab them at any time and eat them as snacks.

So when traveling to Langxi, how should you choose a farmhouse? I thought about it carefully, and I basically don’t need to choose the farmhouse in Langxi, because there are really not many foreign tourists in Langxi. The farmhouse restaurants that can survive are usually not too bad, because the main customers are locals, and the taste is not good. How can I keep driving? Therefore, the chance of tourists from outside visiting the resort is extremely low. If you are really worried, you can choose a farmhouse with the "Hui Girl" brand. This seems to be a high-quality farmhouse brand certified by the entire Anhui Province. Some farmhouses have star plaques issued by relevant associations, which can also be used as a reference. .
