I am a northerner. When it comes to unusual ingredients, most of them come from the south. When I was young, transportation was inconvenient. I have never seen many fruits and vegetables from the south. But now, with developed logistics, Things like Golden Fruit, Lotus Mist, Pagoda Vegetables, etc. are also sold locally, but there are still some ingredients that I have eaten during my travels but are not common in my hometown.

The first course: Grilled tilapia with lemongrass. Lemongrass and tilapia are not ingredients produced in the north. There are very few products selling these two foods in the market. You can only go to specialty stores. These ingredients can only be tasted in specialty restaurants.

The first time I ate "Lemongrass Grilled Fish" was at a newly opened local specialty restaurant. The specialties of that restaurant include "Spotted Fish Hot Pot" and "Lemongrass Grilled Fish". , her fish are all fresh and live. After the customer orders, the staff will let the customer select the live fish in the fish pond, and then the staff will take it to the kitchen for cooking. ?Spotted fish hot pot? The taste is very delicious. The fish meat is cut into thin slices and can be translucent. You can blanch it in the hot pot and eat it. There is only fresh soup, no other options, no spicy, sour and spicy flavors. I heard that the owner of this store’s ideal is to bring out the “freshness” of the ingredients in their original flavor.

Her lemongrass grilled fish uses the popular local pollack, which is also one of her store’s signature dishes. Our locals’ usual recipe is pollack stewed with tofu. ?, ?Cold Pollack? or ?Spicy Grilled Pollack? etc. This was my first time to eat ?Lemongrass Grilled Fish?. Out of curiosity about the unknown ingredients, I ordered one. It tasted very good and I will remember it from now on. Got the smell of "citronella".

The second time I tried it was during my trip to Yunnan. It used tilapia, which I don’t often see. In addition to using lemongrass, there were also some seasonings that I didn’t know about. , the taste is very unique, different from the grilled fish in my hometown, and it is my favorite taste.

Second course: Braised Chong Chong Fish Chong Chong Fish? It is a specialty of my hometown, but the quantity is not large and the price is relatively expensive. It is also subject to seasonal restrictions, so you can’t eat it all year round. The food you eat. Chongchong fish is not big in size, but the meat is plump and tender, with few fish bones and garlic clove meat that melts in your mouth. Whenever friends from out of town come to visit, I will highly recommend this hometown specialty dish.

The third course: Beauty’s Finger

I don’t know? Beauty’s Finger? Is it a grape or a raisin, but it’s really delicious. It’s the best grape I’ve ever tasted. The most delicious one among them, its fruit is elongated, seedless, and sweet. It is the first choice for those who love sweets.

When I saw it for the first time, I thought it was very special. I asked the store clerk and he said it was a new product in the store, called "Beauty Finger". I sold it after I repeatedly confirmed that it was sweet, because I can't eat anything sour. The disadvantage is that it is too expensive. The ones in the photo cost me more than 40 yuan, which is a bit painful. But after tasting it, I feel that it is worth the money because it is so delicious that I grabbed it with my boyfriend in one go. The meaning is still not finished.
