What are the recommended delicious foods in Taizhou? There are quite a few people asking about related questions. Below are some recommendations for everyone to check in when they have time.
In the morning tea shops in Taizhou, Taizhou residents who have settled out of town often complain that breakfast in other places is either not enough, not used to, or unaffordable!
And Taizhou morning tea is affordable, abundant, and delicious. So the first thing they do every time they return to their hometown in Taizhou is for the whole family to pick an old restaurant in the old street and have a Taizhou morning tea.
The morning tea in Taizhou Old Street is mainly consumed by locals, with reasonable prices and large portions. The best business is Haitang Spring in Taizhou Old Street, and the morning tea at Guyue Tower is also good. Locals usually choose to eat authentic Taizhou cuisine at Guyue Tower.
Fish soup noodles are the highlight of Taizhou morning tea.
Some people say that Taizhou morning tea and Xinghua morning tea, as well as Xinghua morning tea and Yangzhou tea, are actually just different products with their own characteristics.Unlike Zhenjiang people who have breakfast with a piece of meat and a plate of vinegar to clear their mouths first;
; Unlike Yangzhou people who serve a pot of tea first, Taizhou people eat morning tea by simply serving a bowl of hot dried silk to open their stomachs - regardless of gender, age, or gender, they all have one bowl, and if it's not enough, they need two more bowls.
Next comes a big meatpack, which costs 5 yuan each. It's really full of meat, and the meat juice can soak out the skin.. Next, there is a large bowl of dry mixed noodles - Taizhou people really love dry mixed noodles. So far, almost no one has thought about the topic of 'tea'.
In Taizhou, it's not so much about eating crab roe soup buns as it is about "drinking". A bowl of crab roe chicken soup is wrapped in a thin and translucent bun skin, gently lifted and slowly moved, opening the window first, and then sucking the soup. This is an essential skill that every Taizhou person has developed from childhood to adulthood.
.After these "three major items" are consumed, if there is still enough space in the belly, other foods such as Thousand Layer Oil Cake, Three Ding Bun, Vegetable Seedling Bun, etc. can be "brought in".
.Taizhou's unique vegetable seedling bag.
This morning tea eating method has a relaxing and satisfying feeling, with an average of 30 yuan per person after finishing the meal. Freshness is an eternal theme in Taizhou cuisine. The delicious food is not only in the crab roe soup and fish soup noodles in the morning, but also in the three meals a day, all year round.
The Taizhou cuisine at Guyue Tower is a typical "Su Zhong" way of eating - there are super large portions from northern Jiangsu, exquisite dishes from southern Jiangsu, and even "fresh" dishes favored by fishermen in the east.
. On average, it costs 70 or 80 yuan per person, and you also have to support the wall when walking out.Qintong Town, where Qinhu Lake is located, also has fish cakes and Shrimp balls, which can be chopped into minced mud or fried, fried or boiled, and can be called Qinhu Double Beauties. Huangqiao Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle) is one of the most famous food in Taizhou. However, when you really arrive in Taizhou, you will find that Taizhou people have made Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle) "refined" - in addition to Huangqiao Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle), there are also grass oven Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle), Jiangyan big oven Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle), etc.
Even if the Shaobing (Baked cake in griddle) costs 1 or 2 yuan, it has a dense layer of sesame seeds on it. Taizhou people love sesame seeds, because they have the habit of planting white sesame seeds since ancient times, so Taizhou also has a feature called Taizhou three hemps, namely sesame oil, sesame cake and sesame cake (some people also tease that the other hemp is mahjong, because Taizhou people love playing mahjong very much). sesame oil will appear in hot dried silk and steamed buns, and sesame cake and sesame cake are the daily Dim sum of Taizhou people.
There is an inconspicuous intangible cultural heritage snack on the old street of Taizhou - Osmanthus and Lotus Root Powder Garden. The owner doesn't pay much attention to people, and no matter how much filter is added, the food is captured with a camera, it is always dark and unappealing.
As soon as you put it in your mouth, there is a smooth and chewy layer of lotus root powder on the outside, and inside are mashed peanut butter and sesame paste. The sweetness of lotus root powder on the outside is well balanced, and the inside is rich and sweet with peanuts and sesame seeds. After finishing, there was another bowl, and in the end, there were a total of three more bowls!
In the afternoon, when preparing to "return" once, the boss closed the stall. The next day, I came to "visit" early in the morning, but the boss hadn't opened the door yet - so I had to leave my thoughts for the next time I came to Taizhou. At the entrance of Qintong Ancient Town, there is also a Qinghezhai rice cake shop. The rice cake grinding tool in the owner's hand is over 100 years old and passed down from ancestors.
This rice cake has no distinctive appearance. Whether you buy it or not, the boss gives it away to everyone. After tasting it, a kind of "addiction" is activated - I don't know if the "addiction" comes from the fragrance of osmanthus or rice. Rice, mixed with a little osmanthus candy brewed by the boss, creates a subtle yet long-lasting aroma.
The boss took out homemade osmanthus candy, which was once again a "dark autumn". "If you see some pastries dipped in beautiful yellow osmanthus and think that the fragrance comes from that osmanthus, then you are completely wrong! The human nose can smell the fragrance on the flowers, but the osmanthus fragrance tasted in the mouth does not come from the flowers, but from the flowers immersed in sugar. The floral fragrance is completely absorbed into the sugar. Only by using this osmanthus candy to make rice cakes can the osmanthus cake have a natural fragrance without any additives. After eating, it can be fragrant in the mouth for a whole day!" said the boss. The reputation of Jingjiang pork jerky goes without saying. It is fresh, fragrant, chewy, and has a long aftertaste, making it the favorite snack in Jiangsu province.
The Taizhou School was one of the largest folk schools in the Ming Dynasty, adhering to the principle of "daily necessities of the people are the way" and belonging to the common people's education. Perhaps influenced by it, Taizhou's cuisine is very daily and the prices are quite "common people" - perhaps the shops and owners here are not popular enough, but the taste is definitely thoughtful. Really, it's worth making a special trip to Taizhou just to eat.
