Food is very subjective. Some people may think the same food is average, but others may think it is delicious.
Harbin is a city with a short history. When it comes to Harbin, everyone is familiar with its nicknames such as "Ice City" and "Oriental Little Paris".
I am a native of Henan. I was deceived by these good names and beautiful imaginations to study in Harbin. I stayed in Harbin for 6 years. Now think about it, how many 6 years can a person have in his life?
From 18 to 24 years old in 6 years, from adulthood to maturity, from ignorance to entering society, Harbin is an indescribable complex for me.
I seem to be off topic, so what kind of delicacies are there in Harbin that shock outsiders?
Let me introduce it below. All the food mentioned below are my comments on Harbin food based on my personal taste. Please forgive me if you have any different opinions.
The first delicacy I want to introduce is Madier popsicles on Harbin Central Street.
Madier popsicles are very popular in winter and summer. When I came to Harbin, I couldn’t understand why people in Harbin also like to eat popsicles in winter. What’s even more puzzling is that all popsicles are sold outdoors in boxes without refrigerators. The colder the winter,
The more people eat popsicles.
The reason is related to the special climate of Harbin. Although Harbin is hot in summer, the temperature difference between day and night is large, so the summer is not too hot, so not many people eat popsicles. In winter, the heating in the house is sufficient, the temperature is suitable, and the air in the house
It is relatively dry, so people inevitably want to eat something cool. The average temperature in Harbin in winter is minus 20 degrees, so if you put popsicles outside the window, it will be a natural big refrigerator outside.
Madiel popsicles have a history of more than 100 years. They are made from milk and eggs without puffing machines or additives. They are truly "sweet but not greasy, with a fragrance in the ice."
The second thing I want to introduce is grilled cold noodles. The cold noodles are made from local wheat flour in Harbin. They have a long growth cycle, so they are stronger.
Spread a piece of cold noodles on the iron plate, beat an egg, brush with special sauce, and then sprinkle with coriander, onions and various seasonings. It is soft, delicious and fragrant.
Grilled cold noodles is the snack I ate the most during my four years in college. I still miss the grilled cold noodles in the snack street outside our university.
The third thing I want to introduce is Guobao Pork. I fell in love with this dish the first time. The tenderloin is wrapped in starch and fried. It is red and white, charred on the outside, tender on the inside, sweet and sour, just thinking about it.
My mouth is watering.
The fourth thing I want to introduce is pimple soup. We also have pimple soup in Henan, but it is not as tasty as Harbin.
The gnocchi soup with eggs, tomatoes, and gnocchi as the main ingredients is a staple dish that we must order at our four-year college dinners.
Light, nutritious and delicious.
Of course, Harbin’s delicacies are definitely not limited to the four kinds I mentioned above, but also local delicacies, pig-killing vegetables, and goose stewed in iron pots... But for me, a foreigner who has lived in Harbin for 6 years, Guobaorou and
Di Sanxian is the special taste that Harbin has left to me, and it is also the key to unlocking my memories of Harbin.
