As a famous historical and cultural city in China, Pingyao naturally has its own delicious food.
Especially the breakfast in Pingyao is even more mouth-watering.
Where's the best breakfast?
Let’s go into Pingyao and explore the city’s breakfast culture.
The first store we recommend is the Mahua shop.
Mahua is not a specialty delicacy of Pingyao, but Pingyao’s Mahua is definitely different.
The main breakfast item in a Mahua shop is, of course, Mahua.
Twist twists with moderate firmness and delicious taste are irresistible when paired with fried eggs or tofu curd.
It must be mentioned that the mahua shop also has a unique breakfast dish - round plate.
Knead pancake slices and sugar into balls, dip them in sesame powder, and toast them until slightly caramelized. It's a masterpiece.
As the second store, we recommend Wujiayao.
Wujiayao is an ancient street in Pingyao, and there are many snack bars on this street.
Wujiayao Breakfast Restaurant is the one we would recommend.
The signature dish of Wujiayao Breakfast Restaurant - hot dry noodles, has a very strong local taste.
This dish costs about 2-3 yuan in Pingyao. The hot dry noodle soup is yellow and clear, more like thick soy sauce.
The most common way for locals to eat it is with green pepper preserved eggs and mung bean soup. Simple combinations are also very delicious.
For the third store, we recommend Pingyao Laoximen’s Tofu Pudding.
Tofu brain is a common northern snack, but in Pingyao, it has more new ideas.
And the tofu puffs in this store will surely amaze you.
The tofu brain has a smooth and tender texture without any milky smell.
The most important thing is that tofu brain can be paired with seasonings such as sauce, pickles, chopped green onions, etc. to make the whole breakfast taste richer.
Pingyao's breakfast culture is a beautiful landscape. From old shops in the ancient city to unknown shops in the corner, they all have a unique flavor.
If you have the chance to come to Pingyao, don’t miss these delicious breakfasts.
