Shanxi is known as the "kingdom of pasta". What are the recommendations of Taiyuan cuisine besides noodles? Which store do you recommend?

The most rustic commercial street in Taiyuan is concentrated in yingze district, which is often referred to as the center of the old city by local people, with a strong smell of fireworks. 90% of the time-honored enterprises in Taiyuan are located in yingze district, while most of the time-honored enterprises in yingze district gather in Liuxiang business circle.

Liuxiang Business Circle includes the famous Causeway Bay and Food Street, which are connected with each other and collectively referred to as Liuxiang Business Circle. Most importantly, it's delicious to spin.

Liuxiang-Causeway Bay Let's start with Causeway Bay, which is a commercial shopping center in Liuxiang, integrating eating, drinking and having fun.

Very lively, there is a kind of intimacy in the old pedestrian street. During the day, people come and go, some people drink coffee in the mall, and some people scratch lottery tickets at the intersection outside. Men, women and children will not feel disobedient when they appear here.

At five or six o'clock in the evening, the night market was set up in the square, and all kinds of stalls were arranged quickly and orderly. Also known as Liuxiang Night Market, it is the oldest night market in Taiyuan. It is also said to be the largest night market in North China, with a daily flow of 200,000 people.

Compared with the night market in developed cities, the night market in underdeveloped cities is the real night market. Crowded people don't just glance at flowers, but really spend, and rarely see empty-handed.

In this night market, besides eating, you can also find two small commodities, get a manicure or buy flowers after work. If we just eat, 20 yuan can eat quite full per capita.

Although the products sold are similar to those sold in night markets in other cities, the unique dishes in Shanxi are not available in other places. If you haven't tried, you must try. Other snacks taste good, too For example, stinky tofu praised by my friends, and cold noodles with northern flavor that I like very much, are all bought casually without stepping on thunder.

On this side of Causeway Bay, there is a brain shop. In the morning, guests will cook a lot of food and drink yellow wine. It's the most local breakfast in Taiyuan. I strongly recommend you to experience it.

Shop recommendation: Qingheyuan (Causeway Bay Store)

I went to this house mainly to eat his brain. Brain is a traditional snack in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province. It was called Bazhen soup earlier. It is said that it has a history of more than 300 years and belongs to a nourishing food in Jin cuisine.

The brain is similar to soup, but sticky. The main ingredients are fat mutton, lotus root and yam. , and it is made of yellow rice wine, distiller's grains, Astragalus membranaceus and Huimian Noodles (fried noodles), with the mixed fragrance of medicine, wine and mutton.

Perhaps some people have noticed that there is a saying of "grasping a bowl of brain" in Water Margin, because Taiyuan people are used to getting up before dawn to eat a bowl of brain, so it is called "grasping a bowl of brain".

Qingheyuan is a local time-honored brand, which is the most original. The door is not small and easy to find.

According to local people, it is best to eat brain in winter morning, when there are many people, because it is delicious to eat like that. After all, it has the functions of invigorating qi and regulating yuan, promoting blood circulation and strengthening stomach. After eating, it is steaming and refreshing.

The standard intention is a bowl of 25 yuan, which sounds a little expensive, but the materials are solid. Yam is very big, so is mutton.

When drinking, it should be accompanied by pickled old leeks, steamed dumplings with mutton and a hat box (a kind of hollow pastry), which is the most authentic way to eat in Taiyuan.

In addition, be sure to pour a dish of old vinegar and soak the mutton on your head in vinegar, which will be very memorable.

However, for outsiders, eating brains may be an extreme experience in a lifetime or only once. Based on my dislike of mutton and tonic, it is unacceptable. But if you drink it in one gulp, you will really feel refreshed and sweaty. Mutton is really soft and rotten, and it tastes good, but it's still a little heavy.

Liuxiang-the food street is a little different from Causeway Bay. As a nightlife gathering area, food street is much more gorgeous and distinctive than online celebrities. In appearance, the food street has added some modern fashion elements on the basis of retaining the Ming and Qing styles. It is also a combination of eating, drinking and having fun, suitable for shopping.

The food street used to be one of the most lively food streets in Taiyuan, with many old brands. Even if it is not a special snack in Shanxi, other city food stores that have been open for more than ten or twenty years have been verified by many people over time and are worth a try.

Of course, if you travel, the most worthwhile thing is the local food.

Yangji enema

You may have a terrible imagination when you hear the name enema, but this enema is different from enema. Put a food map first to sort out the wrong associations.

Nowadays, most enemas refer to buckwheat enemas. Early enema refers to chopping pig blood or pork, pouring it into pig's large intestine or small intestine, then mixing it with buckwheat noodles and steaming the five flavors together. Generally speaking, a rich dish was simplified and evolved into the present enema because it was relatively poor and only rich in miscellaneous grains (in the former Jin Dynasty).

Yangji enema is a famous shop in food street. Even though the food street has changed a lot because of many renovations, it is still crowded every day. The price has changed from two dollars to seven dollars now, which indirectly illustrates the economic development of Taiyuan.

The facade is not big, and there may be a queue if there are many people.

There is a layer of halogen on the buckwheat noodles enema, which is similar to that of tofu brain, and it is matched with Chili oil made by his family (you can eat it with spicy food). The taste is q-elastic, and eating coarse grains will not have difficulty swallowing. Pepper is delicious, too. You can feel the richness of mixed spices after the fried pepper is crushed.

Other things in his house taste good, too. You can try yellow rice noodles, white rice noodles, Dandan Noodles and bean jelly. The weight is not big, and the price is only a few dollars. If several people are together, there can be more.

Remind everyone, you must queue up for invoicing and then queue up for dinner! His ticket is still very retro, and it feels like a canteen meal ticket.

In addition to this one, 2 yuan has a big red sweet honey twist, a string of widely acclaimed Qu Sesame Sauce, and the time-honored Quanwazi Family in Dandan Noodles and Taiyuan. From snacks to fried chicken with great gods, a string of Yijing strings of 1 yuan is also worth eating!

If you want to take native products home, you can go to the vinegar industry in the first ring garden of Ninghua, Causeway Bay, and make a catty of fresh three vinegar from 3.9 yuan, which is full of fragrance. Noodles are delicious in jiaozi. You can also experience the fun of queuing up to buy vinegar with a small pot!

Old Barracks Old Barracks are referred to as Old Barracks Community for short. The reason why it is called "old military camp" is simply the place where troops were stationed in the past. 1982 development and construction, was the largest residential area in Taiyuan at that time.

Many people thrive naturally. For a long time, it was one of the most smoky places in Taiyuan and a snack paradise for local people. Even though Taiyuan has built the Outer Ring Expressway now, the old military camp community in the South Inner Ring has gradually become an old community, and it is still being rebuilt. There are also many nostalgic people who often go there.

The food in the old military camp is mainly snacks. Some shops have been eaten by local people for 30 years and feel tasteless. However, foreign friends still recommend that shop when they ask.

Chu Jian Xinjiang fried rice noodle

I like Xinjiang fried rice noodles very much. I have never been to Xinjiang. I don't know the authentic taste, but this restaurant must be the best I have ever eaten in any store. Rice noodles are smooth and elastic, and peppers are spicy and delicious. In addition to not eating spicy food, it is recommended to eat spicy food, which will make it more refreshing. With a cup of iced sour plum soup, decompression is the best in summer!

He has to pay more for spicy food at home. It's the first time to see such a law of price increase. Pay attention when ordering.

Guokui old lady

This shop is also very popular, and there are many people when they go. His Guo kui is a bit magical, different from what I usually eat, and it feels a bit like a meat loaf. Cut the baked pot helmet, and then do the invagination first, including bean jelly, three silk, beef, pig ears and so on. And then clip the invagination into the pot helmet.

It is recommended to eat pig ears. The freshly baked cake is crispy, and the cold pig's ears are crispy and the taste is amazing.

Jiang Bingbing

This is a famous ice shop in Taiyuan. My roommate said that there are several branches now. Perfect for a bowl after lunch or dinner. Large quantity and sufficient materials. I suggest everyone eat red bean milk tyrants. In the big night, the red beans and peanuts are full, and the smoothies are soft, accompanied by the smell of milk, which is very satisfying.

Remind everyone to distinguish between milk tyrants and milk ice. Milk bully is pure milk sponge ice, and the milk taste will be heavier. If you don't like too much milk smell, remember to order milk ice.

Although there will be a little festival crowds in places like Liuxiang and the old military camp, they will not be crowded to despair. On the contrary, there will be an atmosphere where the holiday is just right. At present, there are many people traveling during holidays, so Taiyuan can be considered, which is completely out of touch with the tourist city.
