Although Quzhou is not well-known in Zhejiang Province, its economy is much worse than that in Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wenzhou and other places in the same province, but for a foodie, you will be surprised when you arrive in Quzhou.
According to incomplete statistics, there are 100 kinds of food in Quzhou. In my opinion, such a rich variety of food can almost be compared with the food cities of online celebrities such as Chengdu and Xi 'an. Moreover, the price in Quzhou is much lower, so you can go there just for the sake of delicious food.
Quzhou scones are generally divided into big scones and small scones. The scone tastes crisp, and the highlight is mainly its filling. Some are fresh meat with dried plums, and some are pickled mustard tuber with fresh meat. If you want to eat the most distinctive scones, you must ask the store to add some peppers to the stuffing, and they are all pulling.
Another kind of scone is a small scone with soft taste. I prefer the soup filling of scones to the filling of scones. Take a bite, there is a strong smell of steamed bread, and the gravy penetrates into the bread. Meat mixed with wheat tastes very emotional.
In addition to scones, if you have to choose an equally famous snack, then Quzhou Duck Head must bear the brunt. Although the method of making Quzhou duck head is simple, the washed duck head is put into the marinade of spices such as pepper. After several hours of stewing, the spicy and seasoning flavors perfectly invaded the duck head, and it tasted spicy and crispy, which was more delicious than Wuhan duck head.
Of course, because the taste is unique enough, it may be difficult for friends who don't like spicy food to accept this food. In addition to duck head, friends who like spicy food should not miss braised duck feet and rabbit heads, which are also very emotional.
When you come to Quzhou in summer, you must not miss the local cold drink-crystal cake. It is said that this cold drink has a long history in Quzhou, and it has almost become the summer memory of everyone's childhood. Crystal cake tastes fresh and sweet. It can be said that this cold drink is very suitable for spicy food such as duck meat because of its coolness.
It's hard to imagine that as a southern city, you can find a lot of pasta in Quzhou. If what kind of pasta can best represent the taste of Quzhou, then Quzhou Hair Cake can be regarded as one of them. Quzhou hair cake tastes soft, sweet but not greasy, and there are more than ten varieties. My personal favorite is brown sugar-flavored hair cake.
