There are many kinds of snacks in the street.

In the old days, there was a saying in Xiguan that "there must be snacks within a hundred steps". Walking on the

Xiguan style

road, holding the snacks you just bought while eating, this is the safest, most delicious and most time-saving way to eat. Who knows what snacks you will encounter in the next step or

the next corner

?

When it comes to street snacks in Xiguan, the first thing that comes to mind is

beef offal

. You see, whether it's fashionable white-collar workers or middle-aged uncles and aunts, walking around with bowls of beef offal in their hands, this unique scenery is always indispensable. Especially when the cold wind is howling, several beef offal shops on Shangxiajiu Road are even more crowded with three floors inside and three floors outside. It's hard to squeeze and squeeze to buy a bowl of hot

radish beef offal

, pour it with special noodle sauce and Chili sauce, and then stand and eat it with the surrounding diners. The soft and tender beef offal and the crispy and hot radish warmed up after eating, and we can continue to go shopping against the cold wind.

There is more than one fragrant beef offal in Xiguan, and Master Lin's beef offal shop on Xihua Road is one of them. Master Lin personally goes to the market every day to select the most beautiful beef offal, and uses a special pickling method to make every piece of beef brisket and beef offal taste evenly, so that the cooked beef brisket and beef offal are sweet and fragrant, and the meat is chewy in the mouth.

When it comes to authentic Xiguan snacks, there are

Dechang

salty pancakes

. Dechang salty pancakes were invented by Tan Zao, a pastry chef in Dechang Building, in 1938. Now

Wu Zhanji

Dechang salty pancakes are made by Tan Zao's apprentice, and their taste is no different from that of Dechang Building. Sticking to Master Tan's production method seems simple, but the process of powder coating and the temperature during frying are very particular. The fried salty pancakes are

golden

crisp and

south milk

very pungent.

Oil-scented cakes were also one of the signs of Dechang Building in those days. Now, if you want to find this flavor back, you have to go to

Lin Ji

on Daxin Road. Golden-colored dough is like

snail shells

, and

circles

are connected into a small circle. When it first came out of the oven, it was crisp with a bite and a creak. Wait until it cools down and taste it carefully. The crispy dough is a little sweet and salty. It's a little tough and brittle, and the rosin is delicious.

In addition to these traditional delicacies, there are many fashionable and exotic snacks in Xiguan today. For example, in the Chinese Minghui Food Street in Shangxiajiu, there are dazzling snacks, and

octopus balls

,

oyster omelet

,

eggs

,

kebabs

and so on can all be caught at once.
