In the middle of Yuxi, Yunnan, there is a small county called Tonghai. Tonghai not only has a profound cultural heritage and enjoys the reputation of "a famous country of rituals and music", but it is also the food capital of Yuxi. As a native of Tonghai, I will introduce you to some Tonghai delicacies today to have a taste of Tonghai. Travel~

When mentioning Tonghai delicacies, the first thing everyone in Yuxi will think of is Tonghai’s “scallion cake” (in Yunnan, “baba” means “cake”). Only people in Tonghai know about the time-honored scallion cake, let me take you there.

Well, here it is. I haven’t seen Baba yet, but I’ve seen the long queue first. Almost every day when I pass by here, I can see a long queue of children, adults, couples... everyone chatting about homely things and waiting quietly, just to have a bite of the authentic green onion cake.

Scallion cake, as the name suggests, has a lot of chopped green onion added to it. The dough is mainly wheat noodles, plus Tonghai-style pickled scallops and chive flowers, wrapped in layers, and finally minced meat is added, giving it a rich flavor , the fragrance spreads thousands of miles away, and the taste is very pleasant~

Tonghai’s pastries are famous throughout the province and even the country, and the most representative one is Tonghai’s bean curd. Tonghai's bean paste has a history of more than 200 years and is Tonghai's famous brand product. It uses high-quality soybeans as the main raw material, plus white sugar, maltose and other materials. It is boiled at high temperature and the massecuite and bean foam are folded multiple times. It has the characteristics of "fragrant, sweet, crispy, crispy, and no residue in the mouth".

A whole bag of yogurt, a big spoonful of purple rice, where can I find such conscientious yogurt and purple rice - Tonghai! Tonghai’s Zimi Lu can be said to be the conscience of the industry.

The yogurt generally used in milk tea shops is the well-known yogurt brand in Yunnan - Laisier. It has a moderate consistency and a pure milk flavor, but the addition of purple rice will not take away the fragrance of the purple rice. In the hot summer, a cup of iced yogurt and purple rice dew is super satisfying and super happy~

Cold rice noodles can be said to be a famous snack in Yunnan. In the summer of Yunnan, we don’t eat cold skin or cold noodles. A good (hào) bite is the cold rice noodles on the street.

Every time when they go shopping and get tired, Tonghai people like to sit down at a street food bar, eat a bowl of cold rice noodles, chat, and then continue shopping. Cold rice noodles are not only a snack, but also a yearning for leisure and comfort for the people of Tonghai.

Cold cake is a snack loved by people of all ages. The cold cake made of glutinous rice is not special at all, but after adding a spoonful of cool brown sugar water, the whole taste becomes It’s different. Soft and glutinous with a coolness, the fragrance of glutinous rice blends with the sweetness of brown sugar, making the whole person feel refreshed.

Sweet liquor is also a signature of Tonghai’s food industry. The sweet liquor in Qutuguan Town, Tonghai County is famous far and wide. Qutuoguan is the hometown of sweet liquor. The sweet liquor made by people there is fragrant, cool and refreshing, sweet but not greasy, and is the top grade of sweet liquor. Many people come here because of its reputation and use Qutuoguan sweet liquor as gifts for their relatives and friends.
