in the process of traveling, you must experience it. It must be local food. But where is the local food? How to choose is a very important problem. After all, the restaurants in many online celebrities are not very delicious now, and many people may not find authentic local dishes.

Brush apps and websites

When it comes to finding restaurants, many people's first reaction is public comments. When reading comments, in addition to praise, you will generally read bad reviews. After all, praise can be brushed, and bad reviews are relatively objective except malicious slander. Judging by yourself can basically prevent lightning strikes.

I have to say that the comments made by the public in domestic restaurants are quite valuable, but not necessarily when going abroad.

an easily overlooked application is Instagram. Before I went to Kaohsiung, I searched for tags with food on ins and found a lot of food.

TripAdvisor, which is the catwalk eagle, is recommended by big cities in Europe and America. The top restaurants are all good. One more thing, foreigners generally don't like to use filters when taking food, and the photos taken are very real.

Asia recommends local food apps. The first type is Cami, which is generally used in Malaysia, Singapore or Hong Kong and Macao. The comments are basically in Chinese, and they are also very friendly to China people.

in this APP, every user is a "foodie", which is divided into six levels. You can focus on those restaurants praised by "senior foodies", which are basically worth a try.

If you go to Taiwan Province, you should remember it by loving food. Before, I asked my friend in Taiwan Province what food APP she had, and she recommended it, saying that local people would use it to find food. I tried it several times in Taipei and it was really reliable.

Mango Plate is the most recommended website for local food reviews in Korea. This website does not make a profit through advertising, nor does it charge users and businesses. It ensures that all comments on the platform are from the real experience of users, so it is very objective. It has a mobile phone application that can switch to English. It doesn't matter if you don't know Korean.

let's talk about Japan again. Speaking of local food guide websites in Japan, it must be Tabelog. Tabelog focuses on the food field and has no scoring system. It's up to ordinary Japanese to eat it bite by bite. Needless to say, it is authoritative and referential.

speaking of app, let's mention two city guide apps, namely LV city guide and LUXE. Food recommendations inside can also be followed.

Journey to the West, a guide to p>LV city, has written an article specially before, which contains a lot of gold.

In addition to restaurants, hotels and scenic spots recommended in these two apps are reliable, and there will be lifestyle destinations such as bookstores, art galleries and museums, which are suitable for young artists.

find local people

for the most authentic food in the city, local people naturally have the most say. Most food raiders ask local friends for advice, and every recommendation is very accurate.

Nowadays, the online world is so developed that Weibo, Zhihu and Douban can be a platform for you to meet new friends. Traveling with friends you are familiar with, it is better to chat with the old man sitting in the sun by the roadside, the owner of the fruit stand, or the local people sitting next to him on the plane.

They are more likely to be your local food guides than taxi drivers and hotel receptionists. Tell real taxi drivers and hotel receptionists that they don't have much patience and time to chat with you, so they are always perfunctory and not recommended.

what if you don't like chatting with strangers? I recommend two practical methods. One is to ask questions in Zhihu and invite local foodies to answer them. The other is to find a food guide written by local people in Douban, and the pro-test results are not bad.

There is also a channel, which likes watching vlog at ordinary times, and you can pay attention to youtuber all over the world. In fact, they can also be your dietary guidelines.

For example, KINDACOOL, a famous beauty blogger in South Korea, although her videos are mainly about beauty and wearing, there are occasional videos of shopping and traveling. When she watches videos, she often plants some restaurants and writes them down in a notebook. You can arrange them next time you go out.

To go to the right place

First of all, be clear, you can hardly find any delicious food that surprises you in the scenic spot. For example, the chances of finding food in Wangfujing Street, Kuanzhai Lane Street and Hefang Street are too small. Secondly, those well-decorated shops in online celebrities, which are especially suitable for taking pictures, are not necessarily delicious, and many of them are one-time businesses.

during the trip, you often encounter some unexpected delicious food. I don't plan any trips at all in a day. I just wander around or take a bus, trying to live like a local instead of treating myself as a tourist. The chances of encountering delicious food are also particularly high.

it is also important to keep a clear head and keen observation in the process of finding food shops. Although these shops do not have high-grade decoration, they often have first-class taste. It's best to see which one has the most when eating. It's right to go in.

The most recommended place for foodies is around the old residential areas of the city. These places are basically repeat customers. The price is not expensive and the taste is guaranteed. Highly recommended. The flies restaurant in Chengdu is a typical example.

The other one is near the school. I don't know if you have noticed, many universities are full of delicious food. After all, students are not like tourists, and stores are definitely more inclined to do long-term business.

In addition, it is highly recommended that you visit local special markets, such as the morning market in Yanji, the night market in Taiwan Province, the cooked food center in Singapore and the weekend market in Europe, which are also gathering places for delicious food.

Look at the list

Compared with Michelin, the bibendum list is actually more informative, and its purpose is to commend those restaurants that are "delicious and value for money".

bibendum's selection criteria are within a fixed price range (for example, 36 euros in Europe, 4 dollars in the United States, 3 Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, 2 RMB in Shanghai and 5, yen in Tokyo). If you can guarantee high-quality food, you will be recommended, so the restaurants on the bibendum list are super cost-effective.

On some of the apps mentioned above, besides daily food reviews, the list of restaurants will be published regularly. For example, we are familiar with the public comment on the black pearl list, and the restaurants on the list are relatively competitive.

Tabelog in Japan also publishes TheTabelogAward and Tabelog Top 1 stores every year. Compared with the top 1 stores, Tabelog Award has higher gold content and influence, which is equivalent to the Oscar in Japanese food industry.

there are mango bowls in Korea. I suggest you look at the list of "TopList" recommended by the website editor. There are a selection of western restaurants and barbecue shops, so you won't step on the thunder if you choose one.

Documentary+Variety Show

Variety shows and documentaries are also good choices if you think it is too much trouble to make a food guide. The shooting teams of these programs help you prepare in advance, and the restaurants they choose are also exquisite, so you can punch in with them.

In recent years, domestic food documentaries are getting better and better. The series of Tip of the Tongue, Taste of Shunde, Taste of Xinjiang, Flavor World, Flavor Origin, Life Series and Taste of Shunde are all of good quality. I went to Shunde with Britain on the tip of my tongue.

BBC: A Mediterranean Food Tour, Greedy Italy and Food Player are recommended overseas, which can not only see attractive food, but also learn a lot about foreign food culture.

Variety shows, such as Here Comes Kangxi, specialize in street snacks and have been eaten in almost all parts of Taiwan Province. In addition, there are several issues about Taiwan Province cuisine in College Students and Lonely Gourmet. You can go to them.

Not to mention Japanese, the Lonely Gourmet can be cured by watching Uncle Goro eat it. Recommend a website: There are restaurants in www.abachibi.com/kodoku, where the main characters in each episode of Little Dreams have been. You can look at children's shoes if you are interested.

There is an earlier program called Street Food Fighter. There are several questions about relatively small destinations in Japan. Meng Xiao, the host, is the originator of eating and broadcasting, and it tastes good.

Another variety show by Mr. Bai, 755-79, has been filmed for the second season, and each episode is about the food of a destination. The selected cities are great, such as Penang, Bangkok, Tokyo and Fukuoka, as well as Chengdu, Hongkong, Harbin, Xi 'an and Wuhan in China.
