Besides ribs and chicken pot, there are so many delicious foods in Lijiang!

I am not from Lijiang, but I opened an inn in Lijiang by my friends and stayed in Lijiang for more than two months. Before I came to Lijiang for the first time, like a foreign tourist, I collected recommendations about Lijiang cuisine in various tourist communities. I don't want to come unprepared. After I came, my friend told me that eating out in a restaurant is not as delicious as cooking at home. I really don't like it. I didn't think so at first, thinking that everyone has different tastes. Since I'm here, I'll try it anyway. It turned out that what they said was right. Lijiang's popular pork ribs hot pot, local chicken hot pot and bean jelly all don't agree with my taste. I don't doubt it's not done well. Maybe it tastes good for locals, that is, it can be used to entertain foreigners. But for foreigners who want to stay in Lijiang for a month or two, they are picky and can't accept the Yunnan flavor with heavy oil and spicy flavor (Xiaomi spicy in Yunnan is really spicy, not hemp). The Yunnan dishes they used to eat in other places were all improved versions. But I still don't give up. I still found delicious food worth tasting in first-and second-tier cities.

I first knew that Lijiang's beef pot was delicious in a snack bar in Dayan (which will be introduced later). The little brother in the shop told us cheerfully that there was a beef pot that was particularly delicious. After searching in the public, I'm sure this is not a mutual promotion between businesses. I remembered that shop. Later, I came back from Lugu Lake and was going to that store. After navigation, I found that the store was transferring, and then I found that there was a beef pot nearby, so I chose a good one.

This time I ate it, which dispelled my friends' cognition that Lijiang is not delicious. Copper ladle beef pot has no pork ribs hot pot and local chicken hot pot oil. The soup base tastes moderate and salty. The beef is sliced and served with local unique dipping water (local dipping, slightly spicy), which is very appetizing (the saliva will drop instantly when you feel hungry).

The street where the copper ladle beef pot gathers is not in the ancient city where tourists gather, but it is not far from Dayan ancient city. Also in the ancient city. If you take a taxi from Dayan ancient city, you can get there in about ten minutes. Copper ladle beef is reasonable in price and full in weight, and most of it is supported by local people. Its popularity among foreign tourists is relatively low, but its taste is definitely not inferior to other cuisines. The store my friends and I went to was called Weishan Muslim Tongpiao Beef Restaurant, and we bought a meal for two, including a staple food, four seasonal vegetables, a beef offal and a beef. The bottom of the clear soup pot was selected, and the price was only 98, which was very satisfactory. It was really a meal that impressed me deeply in Lijiang. If you don't buy a group, if you order, it is estimated that the per capita is about 50-60. Of course, drinking is extra ~ ~

I searched for the keyword "Lijiang Cuisine" on the website, and the related articles recommended many black goat hot pots, but I hardly saw the recommendation of yak meat, so I searched again out of curiosity and found a yak pot shop with a particularly good evaluation (ranked first in Lijiang food evaluation list), called "Nima Tibetan flavor garden". This shop is Tibetan (no matter how bad it is with the real Tibetan flavor for the time being, at least it's delicious). I heard that the proprietress also has a job in Shuhe ancient town, because the little friend opened an inn in Shuhe ancient town and met the proprietress once.

We also bought a set meal for two people, including a small yak pot, a small jar of butter tea (sweet, slightly light, too much water), a braised Baba (the feeling of steamed rice cakes is so-so), and a buttermilk residue (very sour and strong yogurt flavor, which my friends think is too sour to eat, and I quite like it). This yak pot tastes looser than beef in a copper ladle beef pot, and it melts in the mouth (I'm not exaggerating). There is no pepper and oil at the bottom of the soup. It should be a pure clear soup pot. In particular, there are a lot of mint leaves at the bottom of the soup, so both beef and hot dishes have a refreshing mint flavor, which is very special (maybe it has never been eaten before). After eating, my friend said that he would go to the supermarket to buy mint leaves and go home to make hot pot. Hahahaha ~ This store is not in the ancient town either. I heard that people need to queue up when there are many people. After all, there are not many tables, and the speed of hot pot turnover is not fast ~ ~

Speaking of hand-grabbed rice, it is not a unique food in Lijiang. Yunnan's hand-grabbed rice should be mostly in Xishuangbanna, where Dai people gather, but if there is no arrangement to go to Xishuangbanna, it is not bad to try Lijiang if you have time. I, a curious baby who has no chance to go to Xishuangbanna, especially want to have a look. There used to be a hand-grabbed rice shop in Shuhe ancient town, but it closed recently, so I had to go to Dayan ancient town to eat. One store is also famous on the food list of the public, "Heart-Round Snack", and the evaluation of its hand-grabbed rice is also good. The two people in the group purchase only need 75, which is a big weight, leaving nearly half of us.

When this big dustpan was served with rice, I just took pictures. Red and green, it's really nice, especially appetizing. If you count the lettuce under the mat, except the fried rice in the middle, there are about eight kinds of vegetables, probably: ginseng, some pickles (I really don't know), chicken mixed with fungus, fried potatoes, long things (crispy), fried mint bacon, fried mushrooms, and lettuce under it. I don't know how to eat, and I haven't asked my boss (why not? ), if a person eats the food around him, it may be salty and spicy, and it may be a little greasy. I ate lettuce leaves wrapped under it, which instantly refreshed me a lot, salty and light. There are diced potatoes, diced carrots and chopped green onion in the fried rice in the middle. The rice is soft and glutinous, and tastes good. Generally speaking, although the taste did not meet expectations (probably because the expectations were too high and the dishes were too beautiful), the photos and experience were good. Anyway, when we were eating, many later tourists asked us if we could take a picture and said it was very nice. I said yes, yes, but in fact, rice with hoes has made us ugly, so we can experience the value of rice with hoes. Xinyuan Snack is located in Dayan Ancient City, near Zhong Yi market. This is a complete fly restaurant, but it is very popular.

1, potato chips (potato chips)

Lijiang is rich in red-hearted potatoes, and then slices them with red-hearted potatoes to fry potato chips. The middle circle of fried potato chips is pink, which is very beautiful. Because the local taste is not light, the bagged potato chips sold locally in Lijiang are usually sprinkled with seasoning. I like to eat the original, so I will ask the master to call half a bag of unpacked potato chips a bag. Compared with ordinary potato chips, freshly fried potato chips feel more natural in taste. Potato chips are cut very thin, crisp and sweet in the mouth, so they are not so greasy because there is no seasoning. If you want to try two flavors of fat friends, you can buy them without seasoning first, and then ask the boss to order some seasoning and sprinkle it yourself. No problem. As for the location, I usually buy it from a stall in the Zhong Yi market, and basically sell it while speculating. The specific location is difficult to describe and there is no store name. Not too far from the main entrance of Zhong Yi market, there are stalls selling fruits and dried fruits next to it. (I feel that this is the only one who is bombed in Zhong Yi. I've been shopping so many times and I've never seen anything like it in other homes. )

2. Jiahua bakes handmade popsicles

Many people know that Jiahua Flower Cake is really hot. But I didn't know that "Jiahua Flower Cake" and "Jiahua Cake Shop" were two stores of the same brand. "Jiahua Flower Cake" mainly deals with all kinds of flower cakes, which are baked and bagged. "Jiahua Cake House" mainly deals with all kinds of western pastry, including bread, cakes, mousse, biscuits and, of course, flower cakes and dumplings (I always want to buy them). Recently, "Jiahua Bakery" also listed handmade popsicles, which are pure pulp popsicles (it seems that they have been hot in the past two years). They are marked with zero pigment and zero additive, and have strawberry, pineapple, blueberry and yogurt flavors. I have tasted blueberry and yogurt, both of which are very good. The fruit can be seen from the pulp, and the price is not expensive. If I remember correctly, it should be 4 yuan each. In Lijiang, a place with strong ultraviolet rays. Jiahua Bakery has branches in many places in Lijiang, but not in the ancient town. I usually go to two places, one is opposite the north gate of Dayan Ancient Town, and the other is downstairs of Wal-Mart. Basically, every time you pass by, you have to walk around the store and bring something out ~

3. Flower edge handmade nougat, rose pineapple cake and cranberry flower cake.

The Edge of Flowers is a rose cake house that my friends in the inn took me to. The reason is simple, there is its discount card. . . Personally, its ordinary flower cake tastes a little worse than Jiahua's. Of course, the materials are also rich, but its handmade nougat is really delicious. I don't think it will lose nougat imported from Taiwan Province Province at all, but it is more delicious from the point of view of milk and materials. How can I put it? Huayuan has an open kitchen where customers can see the whole process of making nougat. Fresh raw materials, no cream, only maltose, milk, peanuts (cranberries and cranberries), without any fresh-keeping additives, so its nougat shelf life is not long, it is 60 days (generally, the nougat shelf life without additives is about 40-60 days). . . ), without the taste of creamer, not particularly sweet, not greasy at all. I really like it. The store sells a box of 45 yuan, each with a bag and a bag of half a catty (250g). There seems to be a moving price in the store, 100 yuan for 3 boxes. Every nougat is bigger, and there are many peanuts, obviously. In short, it's refreshing. Cranberries are also delicious, but they are not common. For one thing, it is not ripe enough, and for another, it sells too fast. I only bought it twice, and cranberry nougat is not delivered by express (there is no such taste on the Internet). The clerk said he was afraid it would be too hot or not delicious after a long time. If fat friends don't trust their taste, there are samples at home, which are also cut into large pieces. Anyway, I always buy when I am full. . . Ok, I'll eat later. )

In addition to nougat, it features cranberry-flavored flower cakes. The cranberries in the flower cake are full, sour and sweet when mixed with flowers, and the fragrance of flowers will be better after heating (I really don't care. . . ), Jiahua doesn't seem to have cranberry stuffing. Cranberry-flavored cakes are slightly more expensive than ordinary flower cakes, and the same amount is more than ten yuan a box. I usually buy 10 for a box, which is affordable. Recently, there is a rose pineapple cake in his house, which is also delicious, sour and sweet! In short, the ingredients are abundant and the taste is good. A box of 48 yuan, a box of 240g, nearly half a catty.

Huayuan's shop is in Shuhe, and even there is only one in Lijiang. You can see it on Sifang Street in Shuhe Ancient Town. Obviously, its fame is not as big as Jiahua's, but Shuhe people all know that its home is delicious!

4, wrapped in tofu brain

This has been mentioned many times, but I just want to say which store can eat authentic tofu, because every time I wander around Shuhe ancient town, I can see all kinds of other snack fried food stalls crowded with tourists who buy tofu, and I sympathize with them. The most important thing is that once my little friend came to Shuhe to play with me. Without my knowledge, he strolled in the street and wrapped a good package of tofu brain for me to eat. As soon as I ate it, I felt particularly bad. It was not as good as ordinary iron tofu, so I ruined him first and then took him to eat delicious tofu. Well, I believe there are not a few such fat friends. . .

In Shuhe, there is a CCTV bean curd head store, which was opened by my friend who stayed there for several years. It really tastes tender and smooth, and you can obviously taste the "wrapped pulp" (the so-called "wrapped pulp" means that tofu is sold in soybean milk, but I haven't figured out how to wrap it. . . ), I really have the urge to taste it once and want to taste it again immediately.

This shop is on the street opposite the "Flower Edge" mentioned earlier. It's not far along that street, less than 100 meter. On the left side of the road, the house number is small and inconspicuous. I made a reservation on the map, and the public comment should be "Tofu wrapped on the tip of my tongue (Shuhe Qingquan Road Store)". Tofu1one in 0 yuan. People buy 8 yuan in 8 yuan, so it's no trouble to organize a group.

5. Yunnan local milk

As a fanatic of milk, I began to hate some two brands of milk a few years ago, and then I bought Xinjiang milk online. Everywhere I go, I go to the supermarket to buy local milk, that is, look at the brand I have never seen before and then look at the origin and ingredient list. Most of the milk in Lijiang comes from Dali, where there are pastures and the climate is more suitable. I like both Eurasian and Lyocell, and even non-concentrated milk smells better than a certain brand. I also like some condensed milk. Anyway, there are many varieties to choose from in the supermarket. Those who are willing to try can have a look. As for the "yak yogurt" sold by local roadside shops, it is not recommended!

Well, actually, there are so many delicious foods. If you travel to Lijiang for two or three days, you can't finish it. Whether you are a fat friend who likes Yunnan local food or a fat friend who can't get used to it, you can find something you love in Lijiang. Lijiang is dry and dry. As long as it is sunny, it will be very hot and dry. Drink more water, drink more water, drink more water when you come to Lijiang. If it's not too cold, don't use air conditioning at night. It's really dry Drinking more water is a serious matter. If you find other delicious food, you can add it later ~
