To be honest, I am not a very qualified foodie, so I will not go out to look for very special food to eat.

But after more than ten years of traveling, I still know a little about Harbin’s food, especially the food that outsiders find very unique.

My suggestion is that when traveling to Harbin, firstly, taste Hafu cuisine, secondly, eat three authentic Russian meals, and thirdly, eat Harbin’s traditional snacks.

As for Northeastern cuisine, it can be found in the three northeastern provinces, so it doesn’t seem to be very special.

Speaking of Harbin cuisine, it is not well-known. Some people think that Harbin cuisine is Northeastern cuisine. They regard folk dishes such as "pork-killing vegetables, fish stew in iron pots, and four stews" as representatives of Harbin cuisine. In fact, this is incorrect.

.

I participated in a competition of Harbin cuisine and gained some understanding of it. Harbin cuisine absorbs the dietary characteristics of Shandong, Henan and other places, and also integrates Russian and Western food flavors. It is like Harbin.

Like every city, it has the characteristics of combining Chinese and Western styles, being eclectic, and being compatible with both the north and the south.

This beautiful bean paste in snow clothes was available in Harbin restaurants a few years ago, but it seems to be less common now. I like it very much.

Guobaorou is an invention of a veteran chef in Harbin. Now there is a special snack on Central Street, which is very popular.

Double-cut portions, with meat and shrimp, crispy on the outside and lazy on the inside, crispy and delicious.

I really like the Northeastern pancakes in Dingxiang Town. Although it is a Northeastern dish, it is exquisitely cooked and contains all the meat and eggs.

If you want to eat Russian and Western food in Harbin, there are a few places worth recommending.

If you are on Central Street, you can go to Tadous Russian Western Restaurant. Its Russian grilled skewers are very delicious.

There is the Bincamilla Russian-style Western Restaurant at the Harbin Railway Club on Nangang West Dazhi Street. The building itself has a story. Now it is a chef invited from Russia. It is very nice to sit in and dine in red soup.

The taste is very good.

It is recommended to visit Volga Manor in Harbin. It is a Russian-style theme park with more than 30 houses each with its own characteristics. Of course, Jinhuan’s Western food is not only beautiful, but also authentic, including foie gras, caviar, and steak.

delicious.

Another thing to go to is the Chinese Baroque Street outside Daowai. Zhangbaopu, Laojie Claypot Ju, Lao Renyi, and Fan Yongji are all time-honored snacks in Harbin.
