Northeast cuisine is famous and mouth-watering. But readers may have different views on where the best food is. As a Northeastern, I think Harbin in Heilongjiang is the most distinctive, which makes people linger.
First of all, Harbin sausage is one of the most representative foods in Northeast China. It tastes delicious and melts in the mouth, which is a rare delicacy. Besides, Harbin also has a famous big bowl dish in Northeast China. All the dishes are eaten together with a thick stick, which is very enjoyable. One of the most famous dishes is pot cabbage, fried tenderloin, with potatoes, carrots, green peppers and other vegetable materials, which is rich in flavor and very appetizing.
Secondly, the food in Harbin is diversified, including not only Chinese food, but also various western foods. For example, Russian seafood restaurants, kebabs bars and the most famous Harbin Beer Museum can taste many beers and snacks. These different ways of catering complement each other, so people can enjoy different tastes of food and leave good memories.
Finally, Harbin's ingredients are also the best in Northeast China. Take salted duck eggs as an example, its salinity is moderate and its taste is smooth, which is incomparable in many places. There is also the most famous blueberry, which is very delicious and nutritious because of its superior climatic conditions and growing environment.
Generally speaking, although every city in Northeast China has its own unique cuisine, I personally think that Harbin is a representative of the food culture in Northeast China and a gourmet mecca that should not be missed.
