This time-honored brand has been open for decades. The long fish is killed and fried on the spot, smooth and tender without fishy smell, wrapped in sauce and thickened, covered on the chewy alkaline water surface and mixed, each one is covered with soup. A plate of crispy and tender leeks is standard, which can relieve greasiness and enhance fragrance. Gourmets will also add a portion of soft eel back, double satisfaction! 🍽️Wenlou·Huaiyang Cuisine (Hexia Ancient Town Second Store) 💰️97 yuan/person 💗Soft long fish, crab roe soup dumplings, Pingqiao tofu are worthy of being the representative, not a thunder. The long fish is soft and tender without bones, the tofu is fragrant, and it tastes better with the rising egg. The loofah tea is special enough. As the first check-in restaurant in Huai'an, it is very suitable 🍽️Fangfang Private Kitchen (Jiulongwan Branch) 💰️103 yuan/person 💗The environment of this restaurant is very quiet, very suitable for dating, the environment is very clean, the service attitude is very good, the dishes are also delicious, authentic Huaiyang flavor, the recommended freshwater prawns are fried very crispy, and the shells are removed with a light wave 🍽️Lianghuai Yijue Chicken Shredded Spicy Soup (Jiaotong Road Branch) 💰️13 yuan/person 💗It is delicious and affordable.

Huai'an is famous for its Huaiyang cuisine, one of the four major cuisines in China, and has become an important representative of Chinese cuisine. Huai'an was awarded the title of "World Food Capital" by UNESCO in 2021, becoming the fifth city in China to be included in the ranks of "World Food Capital". ① Huai'an Specialty Soup Dumplings When I came to Huai'an, I found that the soup dumplings here are large, juicy, tender, and a bit like the lion's head. The same price is really much better than Nanjing soup dumplings! ② Chicken shredded spicy soup This can only be eaten in Huai'an! During the Jiajing Feng period of the Ming Dynasty, the ministers of the court obtained a secret recipe for longevity from a monk to please the emperor and presented it to the emperor to make soup and drink it. After tasting it, the emperor was very happy and ordered it to be the imperial soup; later it flowed into the folks, and the imperial soup evolved into the current spicy soup. Eating chicken shredded spicy soup can remove heat and prevent heatstroke in summer, and stimulate appetite in winter. The soup contains a variety of nutrients and tastes spicy and delicious. It is a popular soup. Chicken shreds spicy soup is the best among spicy soups. The best one we tasted was the Tang's Chicken Shreds Spicy Soup Restaurant in Huai'an, which was rated as "a must-try Huai'an specialty snack" by the Huai'an China Huaiyang Cultural Festival Organizing Committee in 2009. ③ Pu Cai Pu Cai is one of Huai'an's specialty dishes, and is also part of Huai'an's saying "no Pu Cai, no feast". It is refreshing and nutritious. We ordered abalone and Pu Cai at Fangfang Private Kitchen, which is especially good with rice. Their red bean stew is also a must-try among Huai'an dishes. ④ Huai'an's first dish "The first dish" is also called the whole family portrait. It is the first hot dish for Huai'an people during festivals, banquets for guests and friends, and wedding banquets and birthday banquets. It implies reunion and blessings. The main ingredients of this dish usually include tripe, chicken cake, egg dumplings, ziwu, meatballs, etc., with shrimp and other seafood ingredients, stewed in thick soup, and then added with black fungus, green vegetables and other vegetables, finally presenting a picture of food created by the people with five flavors. It is also the first time to know that the ingredients of Nanjing's famous tripe noodles originated from Huai'an! ⑤ Tea powder This is sold all over the streets of Huai'an. The powder cakes we ate when we were young are also Huai'an's specialties. The whole production process can be seen on the street. The tea powder that came out of the oven is tender yellow in color, beautiful in shape, crispy and crispy. ⑥ Maltose It is the taste of childhood. When the seller cuts a whole piece of maltose, he uses a special blade. During the beating, the maltose becomes small pieces, which melts in the mouth and smells good! ⑦ Sugar blowing As an intangible cultural heritage of Jiangsu Province, Huai'an has well preserved this craft, which can be seen in the ancient town and streets. There are more Huai'an snacks waiting for us to discover! #GlobalChasingAutumnProject #CrossMountains and Seas to Explore the Extreme
