The restaurants in Gannan and Qinghai are mainly Sichuan cuisine and Muslim restaurants. You can choose according to your own taste.
Xia He: You must try Tibetan food, or you will eat it for nothing! Many people are not used to pure Tibetan food. Now most Tibetan food in Xiahe has improved. I recommend you to try it.
Diebu County: Barbecue is the most famous. You must try it when you come.
Tang Ke: Eating fish on the plateau has a unique flavor. But the price must be communicated clearly in advance, otherwise being slaughtered will affect the mood;
Qinghai: Hand-grabbed mutton is delicious, and Qunke Town is the best. You won't miss it if you pass by.
Xining: runner-up mutton, fresh and tender, is a must!
Gannan's food really dare not show off. There are not many specialties along the way, mainly Sichuan cuisine and Muslim restaurants. Some small restaurants are better than big restaurants. If you eat, you'd better go to a small restaurant. Because it is located in the plateau and the water quality is average, it is necessary to bring gastrointestinal drugs and antidiarrheal drugs.
Hand-grabbed mutton: Gannan also belongs to northwest Gansu, and the meat is mainly beef and mutton. The most recommended thing is to catch mutton by hand without adding a lot of seasoning, which not only retains the umami flavor of mutton, but also has no fishy smell of mutton. Delicious and nutritious, especially breast fork meat.
Yogurt: Yogurt in Gannan is made of fresh milk from Tibetan pasture, which has a high consistency and can usually be found in restaurants. However, if you want to take it away, you can buy boxed snow mountain yak yogurt in the local supermarket, which is sour and sweet, cool and delicious. There are "Snow Mountain Yak" brand yogurts in the supermarket, with small 5 yuan and large 10 yuan in each box.
Bazin (Bazin): Bazin is the staple food of local people. Similar to Han rice and steamed bread. It is flour ground after baking highland barley and mixed with ghee. It needs to be shaped by hand before eating. You can add some sugar. When visiting the home of a Tibetan compatriot, you usually need to rub it with your hands, but in a restaurant, you have rubbed Baba. You must see delicious food when you go to Gannan, but it may not be suitable for mainlanders' stomachs. Pay attention to moderation.
1. Xiahe Tibetan food
Most restaurants in Gannan are mainly Sichuan cuisine and Muslim restaurants. If you eat noodles, it is not a problem to find a Muslim restaurant. If you eat fried rice, go to Sichuan restaurant.
What is worth tasting in summer is Tibetan food. I recommend a restaurant to everyone. There is a Tibetan restaurant under Building 2 of BMW Hotel. The owner's name is Gao Bai. He is a very nice person. Tibetan food cooked by his family is acceptable, especially roast leg of lamb. Bake it with some fat. It's called fragrance. If you eat pure Tibetan food, it is estimated that not all Tibetans are not used to it.
2. Overlapping barbecue
I suggest you don't consider the farmhouse in Zhaga. Zagana has been neglected for a long time. There are no tourist facilities, no decent restaurants and no local vegetables. The price and taste are much worse. But Diebu County is different. There are all kinds of food. The barbecue at night is the most famous. You must try it when you come.
3. Zoige visceral cutting
Tangke County is located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. After coming down from Bayan Kara, I turned a bay from Sichuan and returned to Qinghai, so there are many kinds of fish here. Of course, the price is higher. You must discuss the price before you want to eat it. Otherwise, the fish will be thrown to death before communication is completed. If the communication between China and Tibet is not clear, the price will be uncertain!
If you really want to recommend delicious food, besides Tibetan food in Xiahe, barbecue in Diebu and beef offal in Zoige. Local people eat large rolls of pure yak meat soup every day. When a bowl sinks, hot air will rush to the top of the bowl and burp. That kind of satisfaction is real!
