Whenever people talk about food, they always think of famous restaurants and food cities.

But in fact, in the eyes of many people, the city they live in may be like a food desert, and it is difficult to find satisfactory restaurants and food.

As a food lover, I have searched for delicious food in many cities. Here I would like to talk about five food deserts in my mind.

1. Harbin Harbin is an important city in Northeast China and a tourist destination for many food lovers.

However, in my eyes, Harbin is a food desert.

Although Harbin is famous for its Russian cuisine, Northeastern cuisine and delicious aquatic products, these delicacies are often only found in high-end restaurants.

It is not easy for ordinary citizens to taste authentic Northeastern cuisine or fresh seafood.

2. Nanjing Nanjing is a city with a long history, where various food cultures are intertwined and integrated.

However, when I traveled to Nanjing, I felt that Nanjing was also a food desert.

Although there are many famous snacks in Nanjing, such as duck blood vermicelli soup, Yangzhou fried rice, duck blood and duck intestines, etc., most of these delicacies can only be tasted at roadside stalls or some inconspicuous shops, and it is difficult to find authentic ones.

taste.

3. Changsha Changsha is the capital city of Hunan Province and has many famous Hunan dishes.

However, when I traveled to Changsha, I also felt the city’s food desert.

Although there are many famous restaurants and snack bars in Changsha, due to Changsha people's preference for spicy food, the food in many restaurants and snack bars is too spicy, which is not suitable for people who are not used to spicy food.

4. Hefei Hefei is the capital city of Anhui Province and has rich Anhui cuisine culture.

However, when I traveled to Hefei, I also discovered the city’s food deserts.

Although there are many famous Anhui cuisine restaurants and snack bars in Hefei, most of these delicacies are mediocre and difficult to satisfy.

Moreover, the hygienic conditions in some snack bars are also poor, which may be difficult for people with higher hygiene requirements.

5. Haikou Haikou is the capital city of Hainan Province and a city with strong Hainan culture.

However, when I traveled to Haikou, I also felt the city’s food desert.

Although there are many famous Hainanese restaurants and snack bars in Haikou, most of the dishes are too sweet and may not be suitable for people who don’t like sweets.
