Let's share with you the food and snacks that you can't miss when you arrive in Xitang.

1, Xitang noodles

Because I have stayed in the north for a long time, I still prefer to eat noodles. I thought Jiangnan water town should be a land of fish and rice, so it's right to eat rice. I didn't expect the noodles in Xitang to taste so good. As we all know, Xitang people especially like to make noodles. To cook noodles, two pots should be used at the same time, one pot should cook noodles and the other pot should fry accessories. The auxiliary materials commonly used by Xitang people are belly slices, shredded eel and homemade fried fish. Put the cooked noodles in another pot, add water to the belly slices and shredded eel and cook for 2-3 minutes. After the noodles are out of the pot, the soup is delicious and the noodles are strong.

2. Stinky tofu

The stinky tofu in Xitang is very famous. There are stinky tofu sellers everywhere in the streets and alleys of Xitang, among which the most famous one is Guan Laotai's stinky tofu. Her stinky tofu is crisp outside and tender inside, with moderate salinity. It is extremely delicious when dipped in sauce, and the taste can be chosen by yourself. Friends who like stinky tofu may wish to have a taste.

Step 3 send a dragon's hoof

Sending dragon's trotters is a special food in Xitang, which is actually pig's trotters. High-quality pig's trotters with more than ten kinds of seasonings are carefully stewed, steamed and repeatedly cooked by fire and slow fire. The meat of the dragon's trotters is crisp and tender, deboned, fat but not greasy, and it is really delicious. It is a good choice for friends who like to eat big meat.

4. Bazhen cake

Bazhen cake is a traditional specialty of Tang Xi ancient town, which is refined from yam, Poria, Euryale euryales, rice kernels, malt, lentils, lotus seeds, hawthorn, glutinous rice and white sugar. The finished product is light gray flake, smells faint aroma, tastes sweet, and has the effect of invigorating spleen and promoting digestion. It has become a famous scenic spot in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is a good gift for many people to give to their relatives and friends.

5. The malt cake collapses

Wheat milk cake is a seasonal snack in Jiashan, which can only be eaten around Qingming Festival. This is because the main ingredient for making malt cakes is sage, which only existed around Tomb-Sweeping Day. The production process of malt cake is complicated, and the finished product is ugly, greasy and soft. You must not be deceived by its appearance, it still tastes good. If you arrive in Xitang around Tomb-Sweeping Day, I suggest you try it. You will find it delicious.

Step 6 tie meat

Zharou is actually a delicious food in Shaoxing, and it can also be eaten in Xitang. This snack is very popular among Xitang people and in Xitang. Slice pork belly, blanch it with palm leaves, take it out, wrap it with rice leaves and tie it tightly with green straw. Fennel, cinnamon, onion and ginger are tied into spice bags with gauze and simmered over low heat. Bright color, crisp and tough meat, fat but not greasy, crisp but not broken, very delicious.

The above six kinds of Xitang snacks are all delicious. Friends who come to Xitang can try it. Enjoy the beautiful scenery and taste the delicious food of Xitang, which is the correct way to open Xitang. Of course, there are many delicious snacks in Xitang. Please leave a message to add.
