Changzhou specialty food recommendations
Changzhou is located in the south of Jiangsu Province, south of the Yangtze River and north of Taihu Lake, with an advantageous geographical location.
Changzhou has a history of 2,500 years. There is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the city, which has accumulated this ancient southern city.
Changzhou has a lot of delicious food.
Let me show you them.
Tianmu Lake Casserole Fish Head After visiting the vast Tianmu Lake, you don’t have to worry about what to eat.
Casserole fish head must be your first choice.
And eating Tianmu Lake casserole fish head is very particular.
It's not good if the fish is too big or too small.
It is best to choose live silver carp, the head of which is about three pounds and the meat is fresh and tender.
And you must use Yixing casserole with Tianmu Lake as the soup base.
You can taste it at the restaurant in the food street outside the archway of Shanshuiyuan Scenic Area.
Affordable but not authentic enough.
After entering the resort along Yingbin Road, there are three good places to eat fish heads: one is Tianmu Lake Hotel, which has "Zhu Shuncai" recipe fish head casserole soup; the other is Biboyuan Food Center, opposite Tianmu Lake Hotel, with an elegant environment
.
These two places are actually the same, each one costs 200 yuan.
There is also the Shanshuiyuan Hotel, which has a good environment and affordable prices, including fish head soup for 300 yuan per table.
When eating, add a plate of fresh vegetables mixed with celery and fried celery to make it more delicious and refreshing.
Silver Noodles Changzhou Silver Noodles are as thin as silk and as white as jade. They look very delicate just by looking at them.
Coupled with the original soup made from grass chicken, the texture is really smooth and glutinous, and the bite is soft and smooth.
If you add egg skin and coriander to the soup, it will be more fragrant.
Liyang Fried Liver Liyang Fried Liver is a famous traditional dish in Liyang, and it is a popular dish during every year and festival.
The main ingredients are pork belly, pork liver, fried tofu, and dried bamboo shoots.
After stewed in "Zha Gan", the three kinds of meat have a mixed flavor, the pork belly is fat but not greasy, the pork liver paste is full of fragrance, and the small intestine is rotten but not loose.
The two kinds of vegetarian food absorb the deliciousness and greasiness of meat food, and are also indescribably delicious.
However, for those who are trying it for the first time, it takes some courage to prick the liver, and it also takes some courage to eat it with chopsticks.
If you are interested, you can order one at Tianmu Lake Hotel to try.
When eating liver, many foreigners eat the small intestine first and then eat the various ingredients one by one.
But for Liyang people, taking a bite of other ingredients besides the small intestine and feeling the mixed aroma is the authentic "Liyang way of eating".
Crab dumplings Changzhou people like dumplings with crab.
Only when it is cooked, steamed and sold can the crab be kept fragrant, fat but not greasy.
So before, you had to queue up to eat steamed buns, and the scene was no less than eating Quanjude roast duck in Beijing.
The most revealing thing is that the crab buns in autumn are the most attractive, with their small, exquisite shape and unique style.
They are made from refined white flour cooked with suet, crabmeal and pork.
The crab oil is golden and shiny, juicy and delicious, with a fragrant aroma, thin skin and strong tendons, and the filling is tender and smooth.
The Changzhou hemp cake that is freshly baked is yellow but not burnt, and its rich and tangy aroma is mouth-watering.
Take a bite, it's crispy and soft, the skin is thin and crispy, sweet, salty and mellow.
One can't help but admire it.
If it can be paired with a bowl of Shuang Kwai Fong tofu soup at this time, it will definitely be excellent.
If you are not full, you can also buy a boutique to take home for your relatives and friends to taste.
