First, Beijing is not a desert of food, but a desert of cheap food. It's a dream for you to eat a delicious meal for tens of dollars per capita like other cities.
The so-called specialty foods are all small folk music, especially now, the so-called digging holes through walls is being rectified, and the shops at the bottom of the community are almost completely wiped out. In addition to some chain stores, they can still exist. In the past, the specialty stores opened by three or two people were closed.
So do you say there is anything delicious in Beijing? Yes, the existence of a large number of offices and embassy districts determines that you can eat different foods from all over the world in Beijing, and they are relatively authentic. However, many factors lead to the serious lack of such ordinary restaurants in Beijing.
Second, when ordinary people have a bite to eat in Beijing, more than 7% of them are Lamian Noodles, Shaxian Snacks and KFC. Some may not be chain stores, but they are also branded with similar signs.
Some people ask what an involution diet is, and I think it is involution. Beijing's catering pattern is not growing outward and expanding categories, but constantly competing, integrating and scaling existing categories, and finally making eating an assembly line product.
Those are the places that foreigners come to visit in Beijing, which have long been occupied by "large-scale braised pork, large-scale Zhajiang Noodles and large-scale instant-boiled mutton in copper pots". Doing this is the fastest way to earn money, and you can also rub the name of old Beijing.
The "industrial diet" outside the Second Ring Road and the "tourism diet" inside the Second Ring Road are the overall appearance of Beijing's civilian diet, which is also the reason why Beijing is called a gourmet desert.
Third, some Beijing snacks are listed
1. I really love these big cakes! Kidney bean roll, pea yellow, snowballing usury, adzuki bean cake and hawthorn cake! Yes, restaurants in other cities that cook Beijing food basically have these, but I really think that the exquisite and neat snacks in many of those big hotels are not as delicious as the rough and bold snacks in these traditional snack bars that can be seen everywhere in Beijing! Even in the tourists' piles of snacks at Huguo Temple!
nanlaishun restaurant has a history of more than 8 years, and was once famous in Beijing for its instant-boiled mutton and fried tripe. But what is most popular among the people in Beijing now is its "snack banquet". Nanlaishun snacks were laid the foundation by famous snacks experts with unique skills, such as Yangtouma, Qie Gao Mi, King inby and Pie Week, and
once enjoyed the reputation of "the first snack in Beijing". No matter fried dough sticks, sesame cakes, pea yellow, noodles tea, inby, snowballing usury, smiling, or crispy, jujube flowers, sweet and salty sesame cakes, screw turners, crispy sesame cakes, Aiwowo, bean curd, shredded ginger, and scattered Dan twist, you can feel and taste the taste of old Beijing. Honey twist, the most famous city in Nanlaishun, was once rated as a famous snack in Beijing in 1997.
1. jubaoyuan instant-boiled mutton
niujie is a Muslim settlement in Beijing, and proper Muslim slaughter is carried out by full-time imams. Beijingers also generally believe that beef and mutton bought in niujie is cleaner and more authentic. According to the evaluation of Jubaoyuan by the public comment network, niujie is the "oldest Muslim shabu-shabu". Hand-cut fresh mutton "that's called an authentic" and "it won't grow old after a long time of cooking"
the authentic instant-boiled mutton pays attention to the charcoal copper pot. Clear soup, sesame sauce ingredients (coriander, chopped green onion, chives, bean curd with soy sauce, marinated shrimp oil, sesame), mutton, louver, cabbage, frozen bean curd, wide flour, sesame seed cake, and sugar garlic (to relieve boredom). The meat should be fresh and tender, cut as thin as snowflakes by hand, cooked with chopsticks, and melted at the entrance. Jubaoyuan's mutton and sesame seed cake are really amazing, but the price is also flat.
2, Beijing Roast Duck
Store recommendation: Four Seasons Minfu Roast Duck Restaurant
Per capita cost: 14 yuan
Don't punch in online celebrity Store, eat the most authentic Beijing Roast Duck, of course, go to the Four Seasons Minfu Roast Duck Restaurant recommended by local people ~ 9% of the diners are from Beijing, as long as the per capita is 1+, the taste is super delicious! Duck skin dipped in white sugar melts in the mouth, and when it's hot, it's full of satisfaction. It's really super satisfying!
3. Master Bao's Cake
In 24, Mr. and Mrs. Bao founded the first "Master Bao's Cake" in Beijing. Because the husband's surname is Bao, the name of the store is straightforward. This store was founded because Mrs. Bao likes snacks, but she feels that the snacks bought by several stores have food safety problems and dare not talk casually. So, master Bao patted his thigh, and I'll open one and cook it for you!
Over the past ten years, Master Bao has been making cakes silently. Until 214, suddenly, Master Bao was on fire. Later, the couple learned that "Master Bao's Cake" was reported by a food column of Beijing TV Station, and the passenger flow surged in an instant, and the cakes made every day were quickly sold out.
4. Beixinqiao Luzhu Old Store
It is between Zhang Zizhong Road and Beixinqiao Station of Metro Line 5, and it is close to Guijie Street. This family's pot-stewed food is different from other families, and two pieces of white meat will be added to make it more fragrant. Moreover, there are more shops at the bottom, but the price has been getting longer and longer in the past two years ...
There will always be queues during the basic business hours, but the master is excellent at cutting, and a bowl of stewed food will come out after a while. There are leeks, fermented bean curd, Chili sauce and garlic under the take-away table, which can be adjusted according to your own taste.
5. Zhajiang Noodles, Old Beijing
If you want to feel the culture of old Beijing, you can go to that kind of specialty store, and a bald and fat man at the door will say, "Hey, I'm here." After taking the door to order, put all kinds of small ingredients into a bowl and mix noodles together, and eat with garlic. Sometimes there is cross talk on the stage, which is quite an interesting experience.
when you go out at last, if you have change, you can be generous and forget it, and then listen to "thank you". Eating with a few old Beijing friends is this rhythm, which makes me feel for the first time that China also has the habit of tipping.
