A guide to Wuhan’s specialty snack locations

Fat Liu’s home-cooked food

The first intersection of Minsheng Road near the river. It was originally a food stall, but it has good quality, low price and good taste, so the business is very good. Now that Fatty has become prosperous, it has been renovated and the taste remains unchanged.

Sister Food Stall

Near Wuhan No. 6 Middle School, diagonally opposite the cooperative business hall on Mobile Stadium Road. Mainly specializing in hot pot, the owner is a pair of out-of-town sisters. The specialty is the long-cooked beef, which has a cumin flavor and is very fragrant. It is indeed long-cooked! And the base tastes very good. Friends who love hot pot should not miss it.

Zhe Le Seafood Hotel

The second restaurant at the entrance of Daxiangkou opposite the shoe store on Daxing Road. The crossroads behind Baima Wanshang. It specializes in seafood and Zhejiang cuisine, with high quality and low price. Four or five people can never eat more than one hundred and fifty. For example, scallops are only 3 yuan a piece, and fried razor clams are 15 yuan a plate. For the staple food, you can order stir-fried noodles (you only need a small plate if you are two people). This is a special feature, very thin vermicelli, seafood flavor, dry and soft and fragrant! If you like spicy food, remember to ask the waiter, Zhejiang chefs do not like to add chili pepper.

Wasatch

The Second City Hospital is on the left at the next intersection near the river. The specialty is roasted catfish, which has no earthy smell, which is good. In addition: steamed shrimp, braised tadpoles, and fried shrimp balls also have a very high serving rate!

Amu Beef Bones

Di Anyway, there are many places making beef bones in Dijiao, making it the busiest place in Dijiao. This restaurant is number one in Te Kok, you can tell by its popularity. The specialty is beef bones! Numb! Spicy! Fragrant! However, I would like to recommend: Pot Pot - the transparent wide noodles and beef garden inside!

Fat Bear Restaurant

There is a Fat Bear Restaurant in Caijiatian Community. It used to be a small storefront, but now after renovation, the taste is still as good as before and the price is not expensive. Recommended: Jingsha Caiyu and fried duck intestines with sharp pepper.

Xiaokang Restaurant

Still in Caijiatian, enter from the road opposite the Huaqiao Branch of the Bank of Communications. There is a Xiaokang Restaurant. The lotus root paste and spicy fish are very good.

Half Fish

There is a restaurant at the Linzi intersection of Sanyang Road - Half Fish (the most authentic in Wuhan), and the business is super good. The price is also very low, for example - half fish, 10 yuan. Small portion of fish mouth, 12 yuan. Dried squid and roasted meat, 10 yuan.

Little Master

Under the Sanyang Road overpass, next to Rosa Egg Lamb, there is a Little Master. The teppanyaki inside is great! Mutton hot pot, 28 yuan, very fresh, there is no other pot base in it, it is all mutton, so it is super delicious. Go there now, you can get 20% off with your student ID, it is very cheap!

Jiang Fatty Hot Pot

Zongguan Water Plant has a "Jiang Fatty Pig Wanwan" hot pot, which is a mandarin duck pot. The spicy half is beef and bamboo shoots, and the other half is pig Wanwan. The lotus root tastes really good, and the soup is also very delicious~~! A small pot costs 35 yuan, and a large pot costs 45 or 55. I forgot~!

Red Rose Hotpot

In fact, the authentic Zhuwanwan should be found in Zhiyin West Village, Guocikou, Hanyang, on the road where 520 turns in. There is Red Rose Hotpot, and the Zhu Wanwan here is the most authentic. Diagonally opposite Red Rose, there is also Jiajiang Fatty. I have eaten both of them. Needless to say, the taste of Red Rose is much better than Fatty Jiang’s. But the price of both companies is the same, 35 a pot, and the content looks the same, half beef with bamboo shoots, half pork, but the taste is far different. The red rose is full every day, and at night It will definitely close before 10 o'clock, but Fatty Jiang will work very late because there are no red roses to spread the business.

Bashu Love

It is a Sichuan restaurant near Yucai Primary School, Wuhan Evening News Road. It is very authentic. As soon as a customer enters the door, the waiters (all Sichuanese) will sing authentic Sichuan dishes at the top of their lungs. Words passed around one by one, "We have guests!!!!! !..." Hehe, they are very good at serving tea~~ You can ask them to perform, they are all very cute waiters .

I highly recommend it!! It tastes really good! It’s not just spicy!! It’s also fragrant!!! I recommend the spicy shrimp (I remember the name correctly, stir-fried with Sichuan pepper) , the disadvantage is that it is relatively expensive, this dish is only 80 yuan, and the pole ribs are also very good.

But the general price of vegetables is about 30% higher than other places?!

Tianfu Shanzhen

90,000 square meters, diagonally opposite Lao Jiangda. Ten minutes after passing the new building of Fuxing Fitch (if walking). The special feature is all kinds of wild mushrooms, which are good for health!! The nutritional value is very high, you can take your family to eat occasionally~~

It is boiled and eaten in the form of clear soup hot pot, and the soup can be chosen by yourself. For example, black-bone chicken, pigeon, etc. Don’t rush to add the mushrooms to the soup that is just served. Drink some quickly, it’s so fresh! It’s made from 48 kinds of wild mushrooms and the bottom of the pot you ordered. Recommended strains: Dictyophora, porcini, chicken heart, etc. .

Comrades who love wine can choose the specially made medicated wine there, made from mountain ants and various wild mushrooms, all of which have medicinal value.

The price is not very high. High, three people eat nearly two hundred.

Typhoon Shelter Gaowujiao

Jianshe Avenue, Wuhan TV Station, opposite Xinhe Building. The decoration of the store is quite special. There are several boats you can ride on~ and you can continue drinking tea after finishing the meal. The closing time is very late.

Taiwanese style, the food tastes quite special. If you like southern taste, you will like it very much. It is very exquisitely cooked. I really like the stewed snow clam with papaya. It's sweet, but not greasy, because it's the sweetness of rock sugar and papaya itself.

It is more expensive here. For example, a serving of papaya stewed with snow clams costs 50 yuan per person.

Shidali

A Korean barbecue has just opened near Beihu The store - Shidali, is just a little further away from Jianyin. At Zhengbeihu Station, a red signboard is very eye-catching. The shop is not big, and although the Korean food they sell is not particularly authentic, it still has some specialties. There are more than ten kinds of Korean barbecue inside, which can be bought by the skewers or as a set meal. Among them, the leafy vegetable rolls and fish roe rolls are very delicious. It’s so good, and his bibimbap is only ￥15. Anyway, the two of us had a very full meal and it only cost over 50 yuan, so the price is quite cheap. Korean food is mainly based on barbecue, and cold dishes are provided. The staple food is bibimbap and cold noodles. It mainly depends on what you eat. Generally, it will cost about 100 yuan for four people.

There are fish every year

Changjiang Daily Road, directly opposite the newspaper office. The specialty is fish! All kinds of fish, such as the earthen catfish (many of which can be eaten three times a fish), cost 29 yuan per pound, and the price varies according to the type of fish. The taste is very good, fresh, tender, fragrant but not fishy. For two people, just order some green vegetables. It also has Chinese sturgeon.

Wuhan specialty snacks and legends

1) The birth of hot dry noodles?

The advent of hot dry noodles was purely an accident opportunity. About 70 years ago, there was a cooked food vendor named Li in the Guandi Temple area of ??Changdi Street in Hankou. Because he had a sarcoma on his neck, others called him "Li Bao". He originally sold jelly and soup noodles. One summer, he returned home after hawking on the street for a day and still had a lot of noodles left. He was afraid that the noodles would go rancid, so he boiled the noodles, took them out and let them cool on the chopping board. Unexpectedly, he accidentally knocked over the sesame oil pot and splashed all the oil on the noodles. When Li Bao was frustrated, he had an idea and simply mixed the noodles with sesame oil, then fanned them to cool, and took them to market early the next morning. He scalded the noodles in water for a few times, picked them up, put them in bowls, added seasonings, and sold them to customers. Someone asked: "What kind of noodles are these?"
