Speaking of this dish, it is said that it was called "Luoyang Yan" before, and later "Peony Yan" is said to be the credit of Premier Zhou. After tasting it, he gave the evaluation that "Luoyang peony is the best in the world, and peony flowers can also be produced in vegetables". From then on, "Luoyang Yan" was named "Peony Yan". This dish is beautiful in appearance, delicious in soup, sour and refreshing, and rich in cultural connotation. It has always been one of the delicious foods that people can't miss when they come to Luoyang. As for where to eat authentic peony swallow dishes, Bian Xiao will tell you slowly!
According to legend, the peony swallow dish began in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of 1000 years. It is also one of the famous banquets with a long history in China. Also known as peony. The main ingredients are white radish, sea cucumber, squid and chicken. There are so many legends about it, of course, we can't avoid the first queen Wu Zetian. The most unique thing about this dish is that ordinary white radish is carefully cooked through many processes to make the taste of bird's nest. What's more, the dish is drenched with soup, just like the dazzling yellow peony flowers floating on the noodle soup, which makes people applaud!
On the other hand, what are the recommendations for foreign tourists who want to eat authentic peony swallow dishes?
First of all, the most famous is the "really different hotel" located in the old city. Founded in 1895, it has a history of 100 years. It's a time-honored Chinese restaurant and a famous Chinese restaurant (it's too easy to list them one by one, so you can check them yourself if you are interested). However, if the price increases with the name, you can go to the draft table inside. The biggest highlight is that a clerk dressed as a maid eunuch arranges dishes for you, and can also explain the food allusions like a "tour guide".
Secondly, Bian Xiao is more inclined to "manage the water mat", especially ordinary people (eating goods), which is grounded. Guanji water mat is very famous in the alley of old street. It was also selected as one of the 0/00 best restaurants in China/KLOC. Sour soup fried meatballs, soup meat slices, peony anchovies, honey sweet potatoes, eight-treasure rice, etc. , with steamed bread. Stop saying how exciting it is!
As for other water mat buildings, there are many, such as Luoyang water mat garden, Jiankun water mat palace, Jiufu water mat old shop and so on. There are many names to mention, so I won't list them here. Everyone has different tastes, so it's up to you "old foodies" to taste it yourself. I wonder if there are any netizens who like draft seats? The comment area is waiting for you!
