If you want to ask where the food in Shanxi is the best, let me tell you. I first came to Shanxi in 2007 and it has been more than ten years now. I have been in Yuncheng, Changzhi, Jincheng and Linfen for most of the year.

I visit these places, but I go to other places occasionally. In fact, every place in Shanxi has its own characteristics. For example, Jincheng’s pickled cabbage, beans and Heluo noodles are quite good, but the noodles are too hard!

You can also have stir-fried braised noodles!

!

The pig soup in Changzhi Yincheng is also good in the local area, but I am not used to it. It feels very unpalatable!

!

!

Yuncheng's Big Beard Chicken is also good, but I feel it has no other flavor except spicy, and it's not as delicious as the one I cook at home!

Linfen’s Tijian, Yangcheng’s Zage, Jinzhong’s noodles, Datong’s knife noodles… in short, each has its own characteristics!

Of course, everyone has their own preferences. I’m not used to Shanxi’s food, so I’ll try to make do with it. Henan’s food is still delicious!

!

Because I am from Henan!

In Shanxi as a whole, the food in each place has its own merits and characteristics. People in Datong know how to eat it and are willing to eat it. The food in Datong is no worse than that in Taiyuan. In terms of fine workmanship, combination of dishes, and comprehensive consideration of color, shape and taste, they are still Chinese chefs.

The hometown of Fenyang has delicious food.

Thank you. I am a foreigner and have eaten some food in Shanxi. Let me share my opinions: 1. The food must be oily and meaty, but the taste of each restaurant is still slightly different. Try a few more restaurants.

2. Pasta is the focus.

(1) Everyone knows about knife-shaped noodles, but there is a difference in Shanxi. The knife-shaped noodles in Datong are soup-soaked and taste very good. The noodles in Hongdong, Linfen are fried (with meat and egg fried), and the taste is very different.

(2) Yongji’s beef dumplings are still very good, you can try them.

(3) Hongdong’s knife noodles (Noodle King, Huangjia noodles, etc.) and Linfen’s beef meatball noodles.

(4) Noodles are also an important delicacy in Shanxi. Many people eat Noodles for breakfast.

(5) Noodles include: pulled slices, foreskin noodles, cat ears, and picky noodles.

(6) There are also some pastas not to be missed: 栲栳栳, stir-fried glutinous rice noodles, oil cakes, Hexi steamed rice, rubs, noodles, fish noodles, bowls, oatmeal rolls, glutinous rice cakes, rolls, mochi, etc.

wait.

The above is for reference by people coming to Shanxi.

You must choose to eat pasta when you go to Shanxi. There are really not so many varieties when you leave Shanxi.

Food in Shanxi each has its own characteristics. You can’t just say which place is delicious.

1. As the provincial capital, Taiyuan’s delicacies are of course mutton soup, siomai, dumplings, meatball soup, braised noodles, oily pork, and eggplant in oil pot.

2. The main delicacies in southeastern Shanxi are donkey meat pancakes, Changzi fried pancakes, pig head meat, Heluo noodles, pulled noodles, and Changping ten bowls.

3. The main delicacies in Shannan include Maotouwan, Xiaosu Pork, Jishan Twist, steamed buns, fried noodles, and apples.

4. The main delicacies in Luliang include bowls, enema, rubbing, potatoes and fish.

5. The main delicacies in Jinzhong include Pingyao beef, oil cake, Taigu cake, and stone cake.

6. The main delicacies in Yangquan include glutinous rice, glutinous rice, kaolaolao, and red thick rice.

7. The main delicacies in northern Shanxi include knife-shaped noodles, sheep guaiwan, jelly, oatmeal noodles, buckwheat noodles, and Tanzao.

The food in Fenyang City, Shanxi Province is delicious!

This is recognized as the best.

Fenyang has been a gathering place for princes and celebrities since ancient times!

There’s also the Xinghua Village with fine wine!

So whether it’s tradition or innovation, Fenyang’s chefs are the best.

Folk traditions are also something every household pays attention to!

Very good.

Traveling through various regions in Shanxi, Fenyang’s food is the best with its traditional and innovative features!

Palatable.

Be particular!

Datong's yellow cake, oatmeal series, hand-caught mutton, haggis, jelly, vermicelli, pie, shaved noodles, bean noodles, steamed noodle dumplings, yam fish, siu mai, orchid beans, yellow sesame cakes, dried tofu, bacon

, heavy chicken, braised pork, oily pork, alfalfa meat, brown sugar and sesame oil moon cakes, roasted yam, stewed dishes... too many, there are too many delicacies in the Yanbei region.

The correction is that smoked chicken is not heavy chicken, a typo.

After graduating from university, I was assigned to work in Shanxi for more than half a century. I have actually worked for thirty-eight years and have been retired for more than ten years.

I have traveled all over Shanxi from south to north, and have eaten a lot of Shanxi’s delicacies.

Objectively speaking, the food in Shanxi Province is still the best in Datong, and is recognized by peers in the catering industry.

On July 20, 2021, the Shanxi Provincial Cooking, Catering and Hotel Industry Association rated Datong as the "Shanxi Food Capital". On October 22, at the second World Pasta Industry Development Summit, the title of "Shanxi Food Capital" was officially awarded to Datong.

I think the key to whether a meal is delicious or not depends on whether it suits your own appetite. Everyone has their own favorite meal.

As a Luliang person, I think the rice in Fenyang, Shanxi is the best. Fenyang restaurants are always packed with diners. Being the hometown of pasta, my most recommended ones are Fenyang’s fried pork noodles and fried eggplant noodles. They are simply too delicious.

.

By the way, there is also shrimp paste tofu which is also very special.

It is recommended that everyone go to Fenyang to try it.

To be honest, as long as you are an outsider, you will not be able to eat pure Shanxi rice for three days.

The taste of rice from southern Shanxi is generally better than that from central and northern Shanxi!

The stewed mutton, red date and yellow cake, and handmade noodles with mutton tips at Babao in Linxian County of Luliang are definitely delicacies.
