picture 1 Hainan coconut boat Hainan coconut boat, also known as "pearl willow boat", is a traditional folk snack in Qionghai and Wenchang, Hainan. Fresh coconut is cooked with glutinous rice and seasoning, which has a strong coconut flavor. Generally, it is only popular among the people in coconut producing areas. Only a few restaurants sell morning tea in Hainan. Morning tea is available in hotels, small hotels and tea houses in Hainan. Every morning, hotels, restaurants, tea houses and wine shops in the streets and alleys of various cities and counties in Hainan are crowded with tea customers, or drink slowly, or negotiate business, or respond to rewards, or date couples, and everyone conveys their feelings and exchanges information in mutual accommodation. Some people sum up Hainan morning tea as "poor tea is rich". Tea is nameless, and there are many kinds of tea, including small, medium and large, apex and characteristics. The dishes are mostly chicken feet, chicken wings, duck wings, pig feet and tails, mutton and beef, as well as seafood and bird stew, similar to Guangdong morning tea; Vegetarian food includes glutinous rice coconut cake, meat dumplings (including chicken and salted egg yolk), fried powder, agar cold cuts, etc., which are quite characteristic of Hainan. Bao Luo powder Because Hainan Island is located at the southernmost tip of China, rice is the main food, so rice snacks are more common in Hainan, and Bao Luo powder is one of them. Baoluo Powder is named after Baoluo Town in Wenchang City. According to legend, Baoluo Powder has been a delicacy in the famous four townships of Baoluo Town since the Ming Dynasty. Baoluo powder belongs to soup powder, which is expensive because the soup is good, quiet, delicious, sweet and spicy. The soup of abalone powder is sweet, but it is a unique fresh and sweet, sweet but not greasy, and it is sour in sweetness and spicy in acidity, and its taste is wonderful. In the old days, abalone powder soup was usually made from beef bones. Now, the powder soup is made from a variety of raw materials by absorbing the cooking method of Cantonese cuisine, and its taste is more delicious than that of the old powder soup. Using this fresh soup to mix rice noodles with refined beef jerky, shredded lean meat, vermicelli, peanut kernels, a little sour bamboo shoots, sauerkraut bones, peppers and other ingredients and condiments will certainly arouse your strong appetite. A bowl of baoluo powder can satisfy hunger and thirst, and it is also a kind of food enjoyment. No wonder people in baoluo town have regarded "listed food powder" as a great pleasure since ancient times. Hainan powder There are two kinds of Hainan powder: coarse powder and fine powder. The ingredients of coarse powder are relatively simple. It is called "coarse powder soup" only by mixing it with hot sauerkraut beef soup and removing a little shrimp sauce, tender pepper, chopped green onion and fried peanuts, while fine powder is more particular. It is called "marinated powder" by mixing and marinating it with various ingredients, seasonings and sauce. Hainan powder usually refers to this kind of "pickled powder". Chicken excrement vine Bazai is an alternative in Hainan rice noodle snacks. First, it has a strange name, which makes people turn off their appetite. Second, it looks strange and turns off their appetite, but it is really delicious and healthy! I have read an article about this snack in a book before. It is said in the book that a plant in Hainan is called "Jiteng" because it tastes like chicken excrement. This plant is also often used in Chinese medicine. It is said to have the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, nourishing yin and strengthening yang, nourishing blood and protecting stomach. In order to use medicine for food, Hainan people have made "chicken excrement rattan rotten", that is, drying chicken excrement rattan leaves and rice and grinding them into flour, then kneading them into dough as big as fingers and cooking them in a pot! After cooking, add raw flour, shredded coconut, brown sugar and ginger to the pot and continue to cook for five minutes, so that a pot of chicken excrement and rattan is made. It looks like it is black and tastes continuous, sweet and has a faint "chicken excrement smell" (in fact, it is a very good herbal smell).
