Quanzhou, located in Fujian, is one of the three central cities in Fujian. Quanzhou is located on the southeast coast of Fujian, facing Taiwan Province across the sea. In Bian Xiao's impression, coastal cities generally eat better, and there are delicious foods everywhere. What are the delicious foods in Quanzhou?

batter

It is said that batter has a history of more than 8 years in Quanzhou. It is said that it is the most representative breakfast in Quanzhou, and probably few Quanzhou people will object.

the making of noodles is a bit like vermicelli. Handmade noodles are as thin as hair, and when made into batter, they look like flowing dragon whiskers. The soup head is made of pig bones, and then thickened, slightly sweet and slightly sticky. Otherwise, how can it be called "paste"? The taste is also very soft, and the noodles are almost imperceptible. In the morning, when the stomach is not fully open, eating a bowl of batter makes people feel comfortable.

ingredients are also essential. The most classic collocation is Quanzhou's unique "vinegar pork" (which will be discussed below). Common ones are fried dough sticks, shrimp, squid, jellyfish, duck intestines, oysters, fat intestines, pork liver, chicken gizzards and so on. You can choose two or three ones you like to add to the batter at a time. Finally, a pinch of white pepper After eating these days, my favorite ingredient is fried dough sticks. Fried dough sticks, pieces of money cut into pieces, are very crisp, and they are tamed after soaking in soup for a while. The fried dough sticks with enough soup are really great! I like this way of eating in southern Fujian very much, and the fried dough-strips duck porridge in Xiamen is equally delicious. )

There are so many noodle restaurants in Quanzhou that you can see them on every street. 2 "The Tip of the Tongue" filmed the batter in the back of Quanzhou during the preparation period (it was not broadcast at last). The reason for being photogenic is the texture of a small workshop, but the taste evaluation seems to be higher than that of the latter two stores. The two restaurants I went to were Xijie Laoji batter and Shuimen Guo Zi batter recommended by local people. I feel that Lao Ji's vinegar meat is sweet, which is different from the fresh fried vinegar meat bought separately later. Duck intestines and fried dough sticks are delicious; Squid, razor clam and deep-fried dough sticks are added to Guozai, which is very fresh. Personally, I prefer bowls that love pots, but overall, both stores are good.

1-11, fortunately, before I left Quanzhou, I went to the prestigious Qiaotou Vinegar Meat and found that the correct way to open the Vinegar Meat is to fry it now and eat it now! Vinegar is pork tenderloin, which is marinated with vinegar (famous for Yongchun vinegar in Quanzhou) and various seasonings, then wrapped in strips and fried in a pot. Yes, it doesn't sound fresh, and I don't like fried food very much. However, there is really too much vinegar meat just out of the pot! Beautiful! Wonderful! Come on!

Qiaotou vinegar is a stall in Jinying Bridge. After 2 years of operation, it has become an endorsement shop for vinegar and pork. It was raining lightly on the day we went, and everyone was waiting for vinegar to fry out of the pot. Bought 1 yuan of vinegar meat, put it in a plastic bag and hung it on the handlebar. I smelled this smell when I was riding a bike. Take a piece and put it in your mouth. Spicy, crisp and fragrant, it tastes not sour, but it has a very special smell, which is a bit like the smell of fried garlic (but there seems to be no garlic in the gravy of vinegar meat). That night, I ate the steak from Dongxing Beef Store, and my stomach was obviously full, but I still couldn't help stuffing vinegar into my mouth. Chewing is really the best way to satisfy people's desires when eating.

Quanzhou is known as the "Museum of World Religions". Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Catholicism, etc. Everyone has a considerable number of followers here, and it is rare to have a peaceful place. For example, the Guan Yue Temple in Tumen Street is a Taoist temple in the Song Dynasty. Apart from Jokhang Temple in Lhasa, it is the first time that the fragrance is so strong. More than 1 meters away from it is the oldest existing mosque in China, with a history of more than 1 years, Jing Qing Temple. The day I went coincided with the Muslim Eid al-Adha, and everyone held a banquet in the yard.

Steak

Apart from old notes, Houcheng batter, an old Watergate store in Guo Zi, is also a friend who likes batter and is worth brushing. Go to the Watergate and get some vinegar, meat, eggs and sausage. That's right.

Later, the cinema was abandoned, but the alley was still lively, because young people found it to be a food gathering street.

Shuimen Guozai Old Shop

Sour vegetable head is a classic Han snack in southern Fujian. Minnan people call vegetable head, namely radish. In Quanzhou, pickled cabbage head is a well-known snack for women and children.

Donglai Caitou Sour is an old brand specially recommended by local people. It is said that it has been open for more than 7 years.

I didn't expect a thin slice of pickled cabbage to be played by Quanzhou people.

remember to order "the upgraded version of the dish is sour". Peanut with sweet sauce is sour, which is a great invention.

at the moment of eating, my mouth was "gassy", sour and spicy, with a sweet aftertaste and a strange taste. Carambola sour water is also very greasy in love.

Next to Donglai, there is an old shop selling Yuanxiao.

The Lantern Festival here is different from the single stuffing Lantern Festival in Shanghai. There are peanuts, sesame seeds, onions and lard in it. It's a hot bomb. But it's really delicious. After "dry stirring" and "wet stirring", the "bomb" was formed. Finally, the glutinous rice flour is rolled into a lovely Yuanxiao.

a full one, bite off a full stuffing.

And the way to eat Yuanxiao in the store is very fancy, with a combination of big and small circles, as well as three big Yuanxiao dumplings and taro.

the core area of Quanzhou is west street, east street and Tumen street, where there are not only concentrated characteristic buildings, but also many snacks. For example, Haochengcai Steakhouse, Stan Ginger Duck, Hou Apo jiaozi and so on. All in this area. When choosing accommodation, you can consider living nearby.

It's about an hour's train ride between Quanzhou and Xiamen. Although the geographical location is very close, you can obviously feel the difference in diet. Compared with the tradition of Fuzhou (such as eel skin soup, I can't accept it), Quanzhou snacks have more varieties and more open tastes. Maybe some snacks are not written here, maybe they are written in Xiamen or the next Fuzhou.

Quanzhou is so low-key, so the price is naturally not expensive. Accommodation is about one-third cheaper than Xiamen; These snacks written above are all at the price of ten or twenty yuan; Most scenic spots in Quanzhou don't accept tickets, even Kaiyuan Temple, an ancient building in Tang and Song Dynasties, is no exception. The temple is quiet, and there are people playing chess. This season, you can see the longan tree when you look up. It's a little surprise from the southern city for the northern girl.

If you are planning the Spring Festival holiday, you can choose Quanzhou. Even if you are tired of the aesthetics of ancient buildings, you can travel to and from Xiamen on the same day, or go to places not far from Quanzhou, such as Shishi (there are many seafood by the sea), Chongwu Ancient City and Yongning Ancient City. Or conversely, a two-day tour in Quanzhou is also a good choice, at least to avoid congestion.
