1. Mattel Popsicle
This thing is the most famous thing in Harbin. It is sold in Central Street and in Mattel Club. It is delicious, but it is not as fantastic as others say. Anyway, since your friend is here for the first time, it is impossible not to eat this symbolic thing. It is best to eat it in Central Street, which is convenient. You can also visit Harbin after eating it.
II. Commercial Committee's sausage
The most famous sausage in Harbin is not Lin Qiu sausage, nor is it meat joint sausage, but the Commercial Committee. As the only sausage store in Harbin that has not opened any branches, the queue of this store can start at 8: the night before on holidays. Even many people increase their prices by 1 or 2 just to buy a few catties of sausage. To be honest, as a Harbin native, I really don't think it's delicious, but who makes it rare? Things are rare, and people from other places are eager to eat it. If it's not a holiday when your friend comes, buy more and let him eat enough!
3. Luchuan
Harbin is a famous Luchuan city in Northeast China. There are many roadside places everywhere, which are much more enjoyable than those in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, and they are not expensive.
Personally, I recommend that there is a Miao Xin in Jiangnan Normal University, and there is a place like 89, which tastes good. When they die, they can only eat for 2 yuan. Unless they drink, they are absolutely affordable and delicious, and they also have local characteristics.
4. bento
hahaha, yes, it is bento, and the bento in Harbin is a must! Anyway, I haven't eaten anything better than Harbin box lunch in other cities. I recommend a place for you, or Jiangnan Normal University. You can go to the Internet cafe. At noon, there is a woman in her thirties who comes to sell box lunch. Her box lunch is super delicious. I promise you to eat it once and think about it once! There is also a market in Hongnan Street, and there is one in it, which tastes great! Suggest taking friends to eat!
