Guilin has always been famous for its scenic spots. In fact, the food in Guilin can't be ignored. Guilin rice noodles are very famous and delicious. Don't miss them when you come to Guilin. There are also local delicacies, such as Niubabao, Zongzi, rice rolls and so on. If you want to integrate into a city faster, you must first start with food.
Guilin rice noodles
The real Guilin rice noodles must be dry mixed first, soaked in hot water, filled with water, cut into beef, cooked in a pot (fried with fat residue, crispy), added with salt water, and then told at the seasoning counter: sour beans, sour bamboo shoots, shallots, fried soybeans, Chili sauce, all of which are standard, and some have kelp and other ingredients. After adding ingredients, go to the next vat to add soup or not according to your preference. You can choose rice noodles (cylindrical) or cut them (wide and flat) and sell them in twos and threes.
Brine is the soul of rice noodles. Like Beijing and Zhajiang, each family has its own flavor.
the locals say that the most famous rice noodle shop is called Fulin rice noodle shop. It first opened in the center of Cross Street, but now it has moved near jiefang bridge. This is the only shop that stays open until late at night. It is the first choice for local friends to eat midnight snack, and tourists are rare. You can look for it if you are interested.
Niubabao
is like beef and hot pot in water. With special dipping sauce, the locals like it very much. Every time I come back, I will make an appointment with a beef restaurant called Niuda. I buy 2 pounds of beef and give it 1 pound. I can also give it in the water. It's spicy, but it smells good. Vegetarian dishes must have taro, which is fried and fried with yuba. Although Beijing has gathered delicious food from all over the country, I have never seen anything with local characteristics like Niu Babao, so I must try it when I come to Guilin.
Zongzi
The dispute about southern Zongzi has a long history. Guilin Zongzi is naturally a southern salty Zongzi school, which generally has fresh meat, egg yolk and so on. Different from the northern zongzi, it has a shape, not a triangle, but a flat pillow shape. The second filling, which contains mung beans, is the latest and strangest in my opinion. Fat meat and greasy mung beans are a perfect match.
Generally, you don't deliberately go when you buy it yourself, because there are stalls selling zongzi in the vegetable market. If we don't finish eating at home, we will fry the next meal, which is more fragrant, just like we often have a second fried dumpling left in jiaozi. If you want to find an authentic shop, it must be Zongzi King near Guilin Middle School. The locals also call him Zongzi King. Anyway, there are navigation zongzi kings and vacuum packaging, which tourists can take home and give away. The price is $3.5 to $4.5 each, girls. I think one is eight full.
rice rolls
It's near the Zongzi King just now, and it's closer to the intersection. Haitian rice rolls. Very popular, there is often no place to sit in the store. Although rice rolls is a Cantonese cuisine, many Cantonese cuisines are connected with Cantonese cuisine. This family loves rice rolls. Don't miss it. Its business hours are 7 am and 1 am.
Eat fish
It is unreasonable to leave a Lijiang River without eating fish. I remember a long time ago, there was a fish shop by the river. This time we went to a place called Chuanshan Fish Village, not a restaurant. There are many restaurants by the river, and the scenery is very good. You can see through the mountain and a mountain whose name has been forgotten. There are lights at night, enjoying the scenery and eating fish. It's beautiful. We usually eat tofu fish.
