If you have the chance, you can try the food in Fuzhou. The local breakfast is very unique. The fastest way to understand a city is to taste the local food first. If you have the chance, Don’t miss it, after all, it may be a delicious food you have never tasted before. Breakfast

For breakfast, you can choose to have breakfast in the hotel, or you can go out with the hotel butler to "explore Fuzhou".

The hotel's breakfast is actually very rich. A snack box and Fuzhou-style rice noodles are more than enough for two people.

Based on the good impression I left at Chaozhou Yu’s "Taste of Chaozhou", my expectations for this time of "Taste of Fuzhou" are also very high.

As usual, the butler sells all the orders, and you can go shopping and eat at several time-honored restaurants.

If you have something special you want to eat, you can also ask the butler to help recommend it. It may not be an Internet celebrity restaurant, but the taste will probably be the same.

Xiaoliu Guobian - relocated three times, business is very good

Address: No. 82, Guanglufang, Baima North Road, Gulou District, Fuzhou City

The pot side paste is very A Fuzhou-style breakfast, a bowl of soupy hotpot batter must be eaten with fried food.

You can choose your own fried food, including fried dough sticks, shrimp cakes, taro, fried spring rolls, and oyster cakes. Each bite is crunchy, and the other is sweet and chewy. This combination is the one that best appeases the stomachs of old Fuzhou people." Banyan Breakfast”.

This Xiaoliu Guobian is a time-honored restaurant that has been open for many years. It has moved three times, but its reputation has always been very good.

Relying on his skillful cooking skills, the boss not only paid off a foreign debt of more than 100,000 yuan, but also helped his children buy a new house in Fuzhou. You can guess how good the business is.

The rice milk hangs on the edge of the large iron pot and quickly condenses into a thin layer of rice skin. Use a shovel to gently scrape it into the bowl, then add seaweed, dried shrimps, shrimp oil, chopped green onion, and four other ingredients. Elements are indispensable.

This bowl of pot rimmed soup looks clear and watery, but it is actually made from clam soup. It tastes of natural umami flavor derived from seafood, and you won’t feel dry after eating it.

Tongli Rouyan Old Shop - the first signboard of Fuzhou cuisine

Address: There are many branches, just choose the one closest to you

Although it is very "old-fashioned" , but when I come to Fuzhou and don’t eat Tongli, I always feel like I haven’t eaten enough.

There is also a Tongli restaurant in Sanfangqixiang. There are a lot of people there, so I passed by and saw a branch with few people and went in.

Fuzhou people’s dietary genes are inseparable from fish balls and meat swallows. Although Tongli is very famous, the locals still buy it. I saw many people packing several boxes of raw food to cook at home.

The meat swallow looks similar to small wontons. The secret of its deliciousness is that the skin of the swallow is made of pork and sweet potato flour and then "wrapped in meat". I was amazed when I first tasted it. This "spiritual Hu Jianren" "I often shop for the same style online at home.

Although it specializes in meatballs, it is just as delicious as fish balls. Like Chaoshan beef balls, a good fish ball also needs to go through "hard work".

The hand-beaten fish balls are firm and elastic, and you can eat tiny, swallowable fish bones. With just one head, you can instantly kill those "little guys" in the hot pot.

There is no comparison, so I think Tongli is already delicious! And if you can’t decide, you can order a double combo of fish balls and meat swallows, and eat both at once.

Guanglufang Guangbake Shop-Dried Shrimp Meat Cake is invincible!

Address: The back door of Wushan Community, No. 255 Daoshan Branch Road, Gulou District, Fuzhou City (near Tonghu Road)

Guanglufang Guangcake is located in an inconspicuous location below Wushan Park, but it should not be difficult to find for customers who come to buy cakes.

Guangbian is a bit similar to Fuzhou’s Roujiamo. Fuzhou people have the ability to make ordinary light cakes into different styles.

Guanglufang is a time-honored brand, but its prices are not expensive.

The most traditional flavor can be added with onions, seaweed, sauerkraut, and moss. More people will choose bamboo shoot meat and green onion-flavored meat, but the most popular one is shrimp jerky, which is filled with light cakes. Things that are more seasoned will taste better.

Baibingyuan - Fuzhou souvenirs that you need to buy home after eating

Address: No. 131 Nanhou Street, Gulou District, Fuzhou City (near Hongjian Building)

Baibingyuan is a time-honored local pastry brand in Fuzhou. It also has a specialty store in the airport (it’s cheaper outside). The food boxes in the hotel room also contain their pastries.

There are several branches of Baibingyuan in Fuzhou. This one on Nanhou Street is probably large, so you are unlikely to miss it if you pass by.

The types of cakes are also very complete. There are short-shelf-life cakes that can be bought and eaten now, and there are also bulk cakes that can be stored for a longer period of time. They are very suitable for buying a few and taking them home as souvenirs.

I am a sweet tooth who likes milk tea with a sweet tooth. I recommend mung bean cake, raisin soufflé, and ice cream cake. They are very traditional cakes that the elders will probably like.

Zhang Boss - Juicy Immortal Shaomai

Address: Store No. 5, Antai Apartment, No. 5 Guizhili, Antai Street, Gulou District, Fuzhou City

On the way to taste There was a small shop I passed by that was very well-hidden. The butler recommended their shaomai. I felt the pop in my stomach and sternly refused. When I was typing this article, I went back and searched for reviews. I can only say that I regret it very much! < /p>

Three shaomai flavors dominate the world: bamboo shoots, garlic, and eight treasures. I heard that the price has increased several times since its opening. In addition to the increase in raw materials, the supply is also in short supply.

Shaomai with bamboo shoots and meat is a common flavor. The basics of thin skin and thick meat are very solid. Basically, there is no one who doesn’t like it;

Garlic is a surprisingly innovative flavor, and the garlic is mixed with it. The aroma of the meat filling is overwhelming, and the first bite opens a small gap, and the golden soup flows out. It is a winner just visually!

Babao is a sweet glutinous rice siomai. , the taste of rose sugar actually goes well with siu mai. If you have trouble choosing, you can order a double or triple combination.

The area of ??Xunwei Fuzhou is near Sanfangqixiang, which is within walking distance. It is quite necessary to walk. After all, eating like this all the time will not stand it even for a strong stomach, right? Learn Cooking Fujian cuisine

Of all the hotel experience projects, I am most looking forward to learning to cook Fujian cuisine. After all, this is something you can’t experience outside.

The venue is a Fujian restaurant next to the hotel. Many big shots have come to eat there. Let alone a chef teaching me, it would definitely be more than enough for a newbie to help cook and teach me.

All the ingredients have been prepared in advance. The chef teaches the very representative stuffed lychee meat in Fuzhou cuisine. Each step is disassembled in detail, and then various seasonings are prepared. Tiger operation is generally relatively easy to get started with.

The final product of the lychee meat is sour and sweet, and the lychee meat that is decorated with red yeast rice is pink and cute.

I originally thought that the taste of Fuzhou people was bland, but after coming here to eat, I found that it is another sweet city that is not inferior to southern Jiangsu. Fuzhou Specialty Dinner

The scholarly and scholarly price includes one hotel room and two meals, and the quality of the products is indeed quite high. As mentioned before about breakfast, I haven’t had such a rich hotel breakfast for a long time.

The dinner set menu comes on a per-seat basis and is very commendable.

Strictly speaking, this dinner is an improved version of Fujian cuisine, with sugar reduction in taste and many innovative combinations in form.

For example, the traditional Fuzhou dessert taro paste is made with bird's nest and popping candy to enrich the taste; while the ginger duck, which is particularly popular among people in southern Fujian, borrows from Western food in its cooking methods.

And you can tell by looking at the photos I took casually, the appearance of each dish is very photogenic.

Among the hard dishes is the fried Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. The restaurant next door sells this dish alone for over 300 yuan.

Every spoonful can scoop out a variety of precious ingredients that are cooked to taste. The soup has a distinct gelatinous texture. It is indeed a top-notch food that can instantly brighten a dark mood!

< p>According to the rhythm of serving dishes, there are also three courses of tea interspersed in the middle, corresponding to appetizing, relieving fatigue and digestion respectively. As expected of Fujian who loves tea, they are quite particular~ Food Supplement

I want to eat food alone again I brought it up and talked about it purely because I like to eat it, and Fuzhou is indeed delicious. If you still have time (wei) (kou) during your trip, these time-honored brands are also worth picking up.

Yitu Laohua - an old Laohua restaurant where you always have to queue for meals

Address: No. 41, Qingcheng Road, Dongjie Street, Gulou District, Fuzhou

Lao Hua can be simply understood as Fuzhou's blanched rice noodles. Although Lao Hua is cooked as soon as it is blanched, it will not fall apart easily. From the first bite to the end, the texture is great.

The ingredients of laohua are the essence, including beef offal, duck gizzards, pig blood and other offal, as well as seafood, vegetables, etc. The soup base still uses small seafood to enhance the freshness. This bowl is a "combination of sea and land" "The more you catch, the fresher it gets.

There are so many Laohua restaurants in Fuzhou. Every Laohua restaurant has one that they love and eat all the time. In addition to the very famous Tubo Laohua, this restaurant in Yitu Laohua is also very popular. It is high and crowded all year round.

To eat offal, you must handle it very cleanly. The offal cooked in a local way is not only exquisite in ingredients, but also cooked very crispy and delicious.

The soup base is added with Fuzhou’s unique shrimp sauce, and pepper and special sweet and spicy sauce are added according to personal taste. The taste is amazing!

The disadvantage is that with the increase in raw materials, Lao Hua is getting more and more expensive. Two portions of Lao Hua plus fried buns or blanched vegetables, which are the favorite combinations of Fuzhou people, will cost a hundred yuan less.

There are also a lot of people eating beef offal in Gujie, opposite Yitu Laohua. In terms of taste, Yitu is heavier and Gujie is lighter. If there are too many people in Yitu and you don’t want to wait, go to the opposite side. That's ok too.

Old Yiqiang Beef Restaurant - If you want meat, eat Dadao Beef

Address: Store No. 51 on the first floor of Dawenli New Village, Yangzhong Street, Taijiang District, Fuzhou City, No. 51 Da Road No.

Dadao Beef is also a signature of Fuzhou cuisine. There are several beef restaurants on the short stretch of Dadao Road.

The most famous among them is Yiqiang, an old store with more than 50 years of history. It is a time-honored brand and a good location. It is quite difficult to do business well.

The Wu Zai Beef Restaurant next door is also a strong rival. It has been on CCTV and has been open for 30 years. It relies on its true ability to "cut the meat".

Beef sliders and steaks have the highest order rate, especially beef sliders. The ratio of meat to flour is just right, and the soup is sprinkled with pepper, which makes it taste delicious.

Their Xiaolongbao is also very famous. It is very big and regular diners often eat it with beef soup. Especially in winter, it is especially suitable to eat big mouthfuls of meat and drink big bowls of soup, which will keep your stomach, hands and feet warm.

Toothless Peanut Soup Shop-loved by everyone from children to toothless elderly people

Address: No. 182, Laoyaozhou Street, Taijiang District, Fuzhou City

Bye Despite its small and old appearance, Yabo is one of the most popular dessert shops in Fuzhou.

They only sell peanut soup, taro paste, lotus root cake, glutinous rice and peanut cake. The varieties are simple, but the sales volume of each type is good.

And the price is really cheap. If there are a lot of people, you can order everything on the menu.

In order to live up to its name, "Toothless's" peanut soup boils the peanuts until they are soft, glutinous and mushy. It looks like there are complete nuts, but when you sip it with your tongue, it turns into a gritty texture.

I really like the taro paste here in Fuzhou. It is similar to what is usually added to milk tea. It is very delicious after being sprinkled with black sesame seeds and mixed together. However, the taste is very sweet. People who don’t like sweets should be careful. .

Jiujiu Yuanxiao - a time-honored Chinese brand in an old residential area

Address: No. 3, No. 4, Area B, Yanping New Village, Shuanghang Street, Taijiang District, Fuzhou City /p>

Jiujiu Yuanxiao is also a very prestigious time-honored brand in Fuzhou. It is located in an old residential area. Usually there are not many tourists coming to check in. Basically, residents living nearby come to buy it in pajamas and slippers.

Yuanxiao is always wrapped, cooked and eaten immediately. You can often see the aunties in the store wrapping Yuanxiao, and the smell of fried peanuts lingers in the air.

Due to rising prices, the price of Jiujiu Yuanxiao has increased to 10 yuan for 5 pieces, but they are very big, so a bowl is enough for girls.

Yuanxiao can be either sweet or salty. The salty Yuanxiao is seasoned with soy sauce and sesame oil. The meat filling is juicy and juicy. Pay special attention when biting. The skin of Yuanxiao is very tough but not sticky to the teeth. It tastes very good~< /p>

It is said that their dried noodles are as popular as Yuanxiao. The simple ingredients include marine fish and clams to enhance the freshness. If you have an appetite, you can try it.

Bing_Powder Dried Braised Food (Laoyaozhou Main Store)-Fuzhou people’s late-night canteen

Address: No. 186, Laoyaozhou Street, Taijiang District, Fuzhou

< p>Bing_fengan braised noodles is located opposite Yabo Peanut Soup. It has been open for more than ten years. Because it is open 24 hours a day, it can be called the "late night canteen" of Fuzhou people.

Stewed meat is the trump card. In addition to the common types of braised meat, there are also Luohan meat, five-spice rolls, shrimp rolls, etc. with Fujian characteristics.

After choosing the braised food you want to eat like Malatang, put it in the braised soup and heat it up. The boss lady will cut it into bite-sized pieces attentively, and add it with secret dipping sauce, and you will get another one for free. A serving of powdered soup.

The dining area is just a few simple tables and plastic benches set up on the roadside, but the food is absolutely satisfying.

If you have a large crowd, you can order the braised meat directly with wine. If you have a small group, you can also use the braised rice noodles with dried noodles. No matter how much money you have, you can have a happy late-night snack.

Fuzhou's geographical location determines that it must be a "Fuzhou".

But what people who have come and left miss Fuzhou the most is a bowl of soup, a cup of tea, and a calm mood to live a good life every day.

I’m afraid that after staying in Hangzhou for a long time, which is no longer slow enough, I will occasionally think of going to Fuzhou to stay for a few days~
