Let’s talk about the delicious food in Fuzhou
. There is a bargain-priced Dongxing Beef Restaurant at the north gate of Fuzhou University. When I was in college, I often went there to "improve" the food. The electric beef soup is served here. It is particularly famous for its ginger flavor. There are also homemade rice dumplings filled with eggs, meat, shrimps, mushrooms, fragrant glutinous rice, and topped with sweet and spicy sauce and peanut sauce. It is really delicious.
2. There are several famous beef slider restaurants in the Dadao and Xiaoqiao areas. The beef slider is made of finely minced beef, thickened with gravy, and served in a bowl with the soup. It has a smooth texture and a smooth mouthfeel. The beef bone broth is first-class and very fragrant. You can add salt, vinegar, and fish sauce according to your personal preferences, so it is very popular. "Dadao Beef Slime" has almost become a signature, and its intangible assets are worth a lot. Every restaurant in that area They are all "authentic" Dadao beef slippers
3. When talking about beef slippers, we have to talk about beef offal; the so-called "beef offal" refers to beef offal; beef heart, beef lung, beef tripe , beef tendon... In short, boil all the beef offal in a big pot. The waiter there yells, "Two bowls of beef offal..." and the waiter here picks up some and adds beef bone soup to the bowl and brings it to you. There is a "Wuzhong Snack Bar" at the intersection of Wushan Road. The three brothers who opened the store are like a worldly master who lives in seclusion and cooks a pot of beef offal in a day. Went there with the smell of fresh beef offal, so the business was not bad.
4. There is also a kind of beef bone soup base called "Lao Hua". This "Hua" is the rice noodles called "Xinghua Noodles" by Fuzhou people. Soak the rice noodles in cold water until soft and then put them in boiling water. "Make it cooked, soak it in beef bone soup, and sprinkle with chopped green onion and MSG. This is called "photochemical". If you soak it with the same cooked duck intestines, pig blood, liver slices, kidneys, etc., the flavor will be better. . The "Yitu Laohua" restaurant at the entrance of Qingcheng Temple Market is very famous, and it has many varieties and is often overcrowded
5. Mujin Meatballs is a time-honored brand founded by Yao Mujin in 1921 in Daoshan. At the intersection leading to the maternal and child health hospital, the meatballs are made from taro, potato starch, pork, red dates, sesame seeds, brown sugar, etc., and are processed into balls or baskets of steamed meat. Deep, moderately sweet, and very delicious. I often buy some meatballs to eat during the Chinese New Year and celebrate the festival.
6. When you arrive in Taijiang, there are more delicious ones in Rong. Many time-honored Fuzhou snacks are gathered here on Chenggu Street, such as Dafuxing Fish Balls, Yi Tu Bo Lao Hua, etc. Dafuxing Fish Balls are made from minced shark, eel or freshwater fish, mixed with potato starch, and then wrapped in rice flour. Lean pork or shrimps are stuffed into the heart and shaped into balls. The skin is thin and even, the color is white, the food is smooth and crisp, and the soup is meaty but not greasy. This can be seen from this saying of Fuzhou people. My preference is for fish balls. The soup is light but full of umami, and the beef is fat but not greasy.
7. Walk out of Rongcheng Ancient Street and visit San Taijiang. There is a century-old shop next to Fu Department Store - Taijiang Toothless Peanut Soup Shop. The shop is very small, only as wide as a balcony. It is long and slender and can only accommodate a row of seats, but the shop's signature peanut soup is indeed a classic. . The peanuts are soft and melt in your mouth, and the soup is sweet and smooth and has the feel of ice cream. It is also a good choice
8. When talking about Fuzhou snacks, how can we not miss the steaming hotpot paste? Lianjiao Seafood Pot Side is the most famous. Use clam juice as the soup and boil it in the pot to get the fresh flavor. Then pour the ground rice milk around the edge of the pot. The rice milk will be boiled into a dry skin on the edge of the pot. Then scrape it into the pot with a spatula, add celery, green onions, shrimp skin, mushrooms and other condiments. After boiling, you will have a pot of hot "pot paste". Be particular about the condiments: shrimp, salty Fish, diced meat...
9. There is a Ximei Yuanxiao shop near Jingda Road. Although the store looks a bit rough from the outside, the Yuanxiao they make is really good. In Fuzhou, glutinous rice balls and Yuanxiao are different. , the glutinous rice balls are sweet, while the dumplings are salty. The thin dumpling skin is wrapped with fresh pork, and when you take a bite of the dumplings, the fragrant oil and water will overflow. The dumplings made by Antai Restaurant on Jintai Road are also very delicious p>
10. Turn into Guxi Road from Bayiqi North Road, less than 100 meters away, there is a small shop on the left with a distinctive sign, a red folk pattern, and the straight calligraphy "Shang Roll Yi". "Mixed Noodles and Flat Pork". You must eat noodles and flat pork at this restaurant. Fuzhou's swallow skin is so famous, it is even better to cook the flat meat made of swallow meat, and the flat pork cut by its own hand-made machine is used here. Egg white is added when making it, which makes it taste very chewy. The peanut butter is also ground in-house and has a slightly burnt taste. After scooping up the flat meat or the flat pork, it is poured into the pork bone soup, which gives an endless aftertaste.
11. In fact, Fuzhou snacks are much more than these. Eight-treasure taro paste, green onion broth, oyster cakes, Taipingyan, spring rolls... are all famous Fuzhou snacks. If you want to save some trouble and eat enough Fuzhou snacks in one go, I recommend you to go to Old Fuzhou, Yuanhong City Rooftop or Antai Building. The transportation is convenient and the price is cost-effective, especially Old Fuzhou. Antai Building and Yuanhong City look a bit more upscale than in Old Fuzhou. Antai Building and Yuanhong City look a bit more upscale, but in Old Fuzhou, it only costs ten yuan. You can eat until you are full.
