Last year, my friends and I went to Yangzhou. It's really a dream of Yangzhou for ten years, and I won a romantic reputation. There are three famous teahouses in Yangzhou, Republic, Ye Chun Teahouse and Fuchun Teahouse. Although there is a sea of people there, the steamed stuffed bun is really delicious (later I was tired of eating steamed stuffed bun every day). Soup is famous for its oil but not greasy, and its meat is fragrant. I found that almost every household there ordered a dish, which was boiled dried silk. I ate it once, but it turned out to be shredded tofu, but there were quite a lot of patterns. Some put shredded chicken with vegetables, and some put shredded shrimp and bamboo shoots. It tastes good, and it's delicious. It is said that it tastes different from the food in the north.
Speaking of representative dishes, Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs have to be counted. The fire won't start. They eat hairy crabs, and everyone is expected to drool and go to the specialty store to buy them. Steamed hairy crabs are also the representative of Jiangsu cuisine. They bite and bite, oily crab leg meat, alas, how can the Mid-Autumn Festival be without them?
Speaking of the well-known Huaiyang cuisine, we have to mention stewed lion's head. It seems that this dish is also served at the state banquet. Although the promotion of Huaiyang cuisine is not strong (much less than that of Sichuan cuisine), I personally like this dish. How can I put it? This big meatball is rich, fat but not greasy, delicious and satisfying. I will go to Huaiyang Cuisine Restaurant, which is a must.
Huaiyang cuisine has a weak taste, such as the famous Yangzhou fried rice, which is unacceptable to many northerners. In many northern restaurants, it has even been improved. However, eating Yangzhou fried rice in Yangzhou not only feels light, but also has the aroma of scallops, shrimps and Shaoxing wine, which is absolutely different from that in the north.
I'm going to Yangzhou, and there's a shop called "simple tea and simple rice" in Dongguan Street. The lotus root starch dumplings made are particularly delicious, and the dumplings are sweet and delicious. Even drank two bowls of soup, full of praise!
What other Su dishes are good, such as roasted tiger tail, fragrant Malantou, white shrimp with snails, and three white shrimps in Taihu Lake, but if you haven't eaten them much, you won't evaluate them.
