In 2019, my best friend and I went to Wuhan twice. I have a strong say in this question because our travels are completely food-oriented. As two carb-heads, Wuhan is simply a pilgrimage place.

Visiting scenic spots is just a stopover on the way to find delicious food and to digest food after eating.

I think breakfast and late night snacks are the first choice for you if you want to experience the most authentic and distinctive taste of a place. This is especially true for Wuhan, where the early culture and late night snack culture are prevalent. The snacks for breakfast and late night snacks alone can last you for a week.

Same thing.

Here are my top recommendations for specialty foods and restaurants.

Breakfast at the Town Tower of the Yangtze River Bridge Even if you are a Buddhist traveler who advocates "sleeping until you wake up naturally before going out", when you come to Wuhan, how can you not get up early one day to experience the "premature" of Wuhan?

My best friend and I danced disco the night before leaving Wuhan, and the next day we had to go downstairs to the hotel bleary-eyed to have a final bowl of hot dry noodles and fried noodles.

1. Hot Dry Noodles If there is any food that can represent Wuhan, then Hot Dry Noodles must be the one.

In the morning, have a hot dry noodles with a mellow taste and strong sesame aroma, preferably paired with a bowl of mung bean paste, and you will instantly feel at home.

2. Three fresh bean curds. What I miss most after leaving Wuhan is the three fresh bean curds. The bean curds are soft and crispy. The glutinous rice is very similar to the texture of the bottom of claypot rice. When paired with diced mushrooms and diced pork, the texture is very rich.

3. Fried noodle nests with a mixture of sugar and oil are the first choice of Wuhan people. Freshly fried noodle nests, the aroma of oily noodles overflows in your mouth when you take a bite. Paired with hot dry noodles, it is very delicious.

Other recommendations: Shaomai wrapped in fried cakes, glutinous rice chicken, and fried dough sticks wrapped in glutinous rice. These three are almost not introduced one by one. They are all carbohydrate bombs packed with carbohydrates and heavy oil. Eat one for breakfast and you will not be hungry all day long (bushi).

Recommended must-go restaurants for breakfast: Sanzhen Minsheng Dessert Restaurant (Shengli Street Main Store) is a time-honored breakfast restaurant with a strong historical atmosphere. The main store has a strong historical atmosphere.

It gathers all kinds of delicacies under one roof, with a wide range of categories, not to mention hot dry noodles and beef noodles, as well as three fresh bean curds, fried buns, and rice wine. It is the first choice for those who want to experience Wuhan breakfast all at once.

It is also a restaurant where many Wuhan locals go to eat.

Recommendation index: ? Jiayang Master Zhao’s Pancakes with Shaomai (Liangdao Street Store) The famous Master Zhao has become famous on the Internet.

This oil-baked shaomai restaurant can be said to be the top one in Wuhan. At first glance, it sounds like a strange combination, but I don’t feel tired at all after eating it.

The outer skin is fried very crispy, and the siomai oil on the inside is moist and glutinous. It is heavy on pepper and oil. Go ahead with the carbs!

The hot dry noodles here are also very authentic, but may be a bit dry for outsiders.

Recommendation index: Cai Lin Ji? The hot dry noodle restaurant with the most chain stores and the largest reputation. If you don’t want to travel too far, Cai Lin Ji, which is located all over Wuhan, is also a good choice.

The taste is mediocre, but definitely not unpleasant, but the price is a bit more expensive than ordinary small shops.

Recommendation index: Of course, the most recommended thing is to find a busy morning market and pop into a small shop where local elderly people gather. You are right!

Late-night snacks Wuhan's "nightlife" is so rich. No matter what time you go to the streets, you don't have to worry about finding something to eat. On a seemingly sparsely populated road, you may suddenly encounter a lively restaurant after turning a corner.

stall.

1. Lotus root soup sounds ordinary, but you will definitely fall in love with it after drinking it. The ingredients are also very simple. It is completely due to the excellence of the ingredients that it has become the taste that many Hubei people miss when they leave home.

The pink lotus root paired with the braised pork ribs is really delicious.

Let me share my personal way of eating rice with lotus root soup. Does anyone like to eat it this way? 2. Steamed shrimp is a must-eat when visiting Wuhan crayfish. The specialty of Wuhan crayfish is that it is steamed.

When I came to Wuhan, I learned for the first time that you can also eat it by steaming it. It tastes very delicious. The fresh shrimps are freshly steamed. They taste chewy and sweet, which is super satisfying.
