My hometown cuisine is Huaiyang cuisine.
There are many varieties of Huaiyang cuisine, including braised lion head, Pingqiao tofu, soft-double long fish, etc.
Among them, my favorite is the braised lion head, which is really delicious.
The braised lion head is served like a big meat ball, some are red, some are white, some are yellow.
The red ones smell like tulips, the white ones smell like locust flowers, and the yellow ones smell like sweet-scented osmanthus.
When eating braised lion head, it is easy to crush it with chopsticks. Experienced people will scoop it up with a spoon.
The soft-double long fish is also good. It is jet black when served and is very smooth in the mouth.
The poet Ding Mang praised it as "a fish with a soft pocket and a fish that is fresh to the bone".
The dim sum in Huai'an is also good, including soup dumplings, xiaolongbao, pot stickers, etc.
My favorite is Xiao Long Bao.
The little red envelope looks like a football and tastes like cotton. It is so soft and beautiful.
The soup dumplings are also good, with paper-thin skin and delicious soup.
Mr. Zhu Ziqing said in the article "Speaking of Yangzhou": "The Huaiyang restaurants in Beiping and Nanhua sell soup dumplings. It is good to be honest." The Huaiyang cuisine in my hometown is really beautiful.
