Hello everyone (*´▽m)ノノノノノ。 Today is Leilei who saw you leaving a message and doing some hard homework.

Finally, I hope Lianzhen Huaiyang high-speed railway is fully completed. Before, we went to "Yunchee" together. After the high-speed railway is completed, the fastest time from Nanjing to Huai'an is 1 hour and 40 minutes,

Shanghai 2.5h, Hangzhou 3.5h

Before, there were friends in the comments. Yangzhou should be considered as the traditional art of northern Jiangsu or southern Jiangsu ("bulk" Jiangsu Er).

However, there is no controversy in Huai'an. After all, it is a serious "stupid" - The intersection of Huaihe and Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal , a standard north-south dividing point.

▲Huai'an urban canal Qingjiangpu landscape belt

Why is Huai'an so good at eating? It is also due to the unique geographical conditions.

In ancient times, waterways were a very important mode of transportation. Huai'an's innate position as "the southern ship, the northern horse, and the nine provinces" made her very good at "engaging in economy".

Although it is not as famous as Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants, during the Qing Dynasty, the taxes created by Huai merchants once accounted for 1/4 of the national fiscal revenue. The result of

is so strong that it is unimaginable.

After you can eat and drink enough every day, you will naturally start to think about higher-level things.

For example, how to eat better?

Huai'an people thought about it and together with Yangzhou, invented Huaiyang cuisine , one of the eight major cuisines in China.

"Huai" is even in front of "Yang", which is also a kind of affirmation that people in Huaian know how to eat and know how to eat.

▲Huaiyang Cuisine Culture Museum is also in Huai'an instead of Yangzhou

"The thoroughfare of nine provinces", Huai'an is located on the dividing line between the north and the south, and its eating habits naturally integrate the characteristics of various places:

The taste is mainly light and fresh, and it is also important to "not let it eat".

So Huaiyang Cuisine also has the ability to stand up for the public and became the C-leading protagonist of the "first banquet in the founding of the country" that year.

In Huaian, there is a familiar saying: A Huaian mouth, eat all over the south and north.

The "one" here refers to the mouth of Huaian people and the ability to eat all over the north and south; it also means that in Huaian, you can eat two flavors of north and south as long as you open your mouth.

What is this not the "dream place" for foodies?

Although Huai'an has no shortage of strength and reputation, to be honest, when it comes to Huaiyang cuisine, everyone's first reaction is Yangzhou.

Huai'an cuisine has a great ability to mix the taste differences between the north and south, but it is not "out of the circle" at all.

I guess, it is also related to the inauthenticity of many dishes when they leave Huaian.

Just like a white cannon shrimp, you have to use Hongze Lake white shrimp, soft-cup long fish uses the local pen-rod green fish flavor, crayfish thirteen fragrant, Xuyi , garlic scent, Jinhu...

If you don’t take the high-speed rail, how can you understand the self-esteem of Huai'an people in "eating"?

01

Huaian Style Versailles: Eat state banquet dishes every day

Huaiyang cuisine has become a "state banquet dishes", but in fact it has started a long time ago.

The "four major seats" were luxurious in the Qing Dynasty, with three seats (full sheep mat, full fish mat, and full eel mat) which were Huaiyang dishes, the famous Manchu and Han mat, and more than half of the dishes were Huaiyang dishes.

But Huaiyang cuisine is capable, which can not only reach the top diplomatic front, but also make it a delicious food that ordinary families can enjoy every day.

Go to Huai'an to arrange a Huaiyang dish and eat the state banquet dishes in a roundabout way, right?

China Huaiyang Cuisine Culture Museum - Can visit, learn, and eat more

Address: No. 88, Xinhepan Road, Qinghe, Qingjiangpu District, Huai'an City, 100 meters east of the ancient Huaihe Cultural Scenic Area

I didn't expect that the first recommended Huaiyang Restaurant is actually a museum.

Although it is not a regular place to eat, if you want to systematically understand the story of Huaiyang cuisine in , and then experience the authentic and delicious on site, Huaiyang cuisine museum is unique.

The entire museum is free to open and is divided into four functional areas: Folk Museum, Ancient River Museum, Cultural Museum, and Tasting Museum. You can visit them all for about an hour, and then eat in the restaurant next to you.

Eating in Huaiyang Cuisine Museum is relatively expensive, but it is indeed a special experience.

The signature dish is indispensable for a soft-cup fish. When serving, it is also accompanied by a jade cabbage that symbolizes "hundred wealth", which is quite Chinese-style.

dishes are quite traditional Huaian local recipes. Although they are for tourists, their taste and service are good.

Old Huaian Huaian Cuisine - The most popular Benbang Cuisine Restaurant in the city

Address: The old store is No. 278, Dongmen Street, Huaicheng Town, Huai'an District, Huai'an City. There are 3 branches. Just choose the nearby

. I talk about the places tourists are used to going to. Next, I recommend the Huaiyang Restaurant that locals will go to.

This old Huaian is considered the leader in Huaiyang restaurants in . The earliest one has been open for 19 years . The three branches are not too fast, and the taste can still be guaranteed.

Here is an open order, dishes are very many, and the classic Huaiyang cuisine can be eaten , and the possibility of stepping on the mine is very small. It is very suitable for people with "tight time and heavy meal tasks", and they can eat all at once.

, and the cost-effectiveness of old Huaian is also good, with an average of about 70-80 yuan per person, which is quite satisfying to eat.

The disadvantage is that no matter the old store, there are many people, so it is recommended to rush early or stagger the peak of meals.

Tianfei Palace Restaurant - The "intangible cultural heritage" restaurant hidden in the city

Address: No. 89, Xichang Street, Huaian District, Huaian City

If you don’t want to experience the taste of a long queue, this Tianfei Palace is worth recommending.

Their home is a small restaurant with an ordinary environment but a very stunning taste. It is open in a two-story house in a residential area and can be found by special navigation.

The boss is an old couple over 60 years old. He cooks very well. Among them, Pucai meat balls were selected as intangible cultural heritage . This dish alone is worth coming.

Although the ingredient is simple, Tianfei Palace Restaurant is very exquisitely made.

meat balls are made by yourself, without starch, and the gravy is abundant in one bite; the pacchard is selected with tender and gluten-free parts, which has a crispy and delicious taste.

and Their dishes can be in bits, which is very friendly to diners with a small number of people and avoids large amount waste.

Long Fish Banquet·Huaiyang Cuisine - Long Fish Specialty Restaurant

Address: No. 22-28, Lianghongyu Road, Huaian District, Huaian City

Soft Pocket Long Fish is the largest business card of Huaian cuisine, but the way to make long fish is more than this.

This family-owned fish banquet is a restaurant that is famous for making long fish, and it has very Huaian characteristics.

and the restaurant environment is also very good, so locals will also choose to have banquets here.

Long fish is very eccentric with Huaian cuisine, so as long as the eel is not in your minefield, you will not be too used to it.

Soft bag long fish, earthy roasted long fish, long fish rice are all very good . Of course, there are dishes other than long fish in the store to order, but the performance is relatively ordinary.

02

There is a formal cuisine on it and a civilian food under it

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, due to the convenience of water conservancy, Huai'an became an important "water hub". At the same time, due to frequent floods and disasters, the gap between the rich and the poor in eating was widened.

So Huaian people who are good at making fun of bitterness invented a lot of "civilian food" with cheap ingredients and good taste. This is also what I think Huaian food is particularly interesting.

①Tea bai

Tea bai is the most representative snack in Huai'an. It is actually fried noodles, which tastes fragrant and crispy.

In the past, when material scarcity was insufficient, it was the best representative of cheap and satisfying food.

Yuejia Tea Peak

Address: 100 meters south of the bridge of Hexia Ancient Town, Huai'an District, Huai'an City (150 meters southwest of Jindi Square)

This Yuejia Tea Peak in Hexia Ancient Town is a local time-honored brand. It can be eaten by yourself, and it can also be bought as a gift for gifts.

Their tea-bashi rapeseed oil has a strong smell and is a very traditional Chinese dim sum taste. You can buy it at the same time when you go to Hexia Ancient Town to have fun.

③Huai Dumplings

Huai Dumplings can be simply understood as Huai'an version of wontons. The difference is that the sinking of Huai Dumplings requires adding leek green garlic to give people a sense of satisfaction of "pretending to eat a lot of meat".

is inexpensive and delicious. In the era of material scarcity, it was one of the most common snacks for people in Huaian to improve their food.

, and Huai dumplings usually have "three eatings". They are cooked, mixed and fried, and they should also be carefully eaten. They are very distinctive in Huaiyang.

Zhenfengyuan Hotel

Address: No. 8 Dingxiang Road, north of Grand Canal Plaza, Qingjiangpu District, Huai'an City

This store was originally called Zhenfengyuan Dumpling Noodle Shop, and is also an century-old brand . It mainly sells dumplings and porridge rice. Later, it grew stronger and became a Huaiyang Restaurant and also opened a branch.

The most distinctive thing in Zhenfengyuan is the fried rice wonton . The skin is very thin, and more than a dozen ingredients are added to the filling. After taking it in the pot, add 6 kinds of seasonings, and finally mix with fried rice. The two foods are intertwined in the mouth, which is fresh and delicious.

soup dumplings

It seems nothing strange to be able to come up with delicious soup dumplings in cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, but the way to make Huai'an soup dumplings is very different.

In line with the previous "meat-saving" method, the soup of Huaian soup dumplings is the protagonist who accounts for a large proportion. By chance, this happened to be the feature of Huaian soup dumplings.

When the living conditions improved, we also had the "wealthy" way to eat crab roe soup dumpling .

Wenlou Crab Roll Soup Bun

Address: No. 67, Huaxiang, Hexia Guzhen, Huaian District, Huaian District, Huaian City

Huaian soup buns are many. Wenlou is the most famous one, no one because they have a super fan in their family. Premier Zhou.

The soup buns in Wenlou really taste good. The skin of the bun is very tough. The inward trap is also carefully used to make soup paste with crab roe, meat skin, chicken diced meat, shrimp, bamboo shoots, rice wine... a bunch of ingredients. steamed on the cage and it is a pack of soup . Every bite is the essence of the tongue-breaking!

Many rivers and lakes are close to lakes, and they cannot be separated from the word "water"

Huai'an has many waters. In addition to "four waters penetrate the city and two rivers circulate the city", there are also "five lakes inlaid" in the city.

Although there is less of the umami flavor of seafood, river and lake food alone are enough for Huaian people to eat from the beginning of spring to the cold winter.

If you have no idea how good people in Huai'an eat aquatic products, just remember that Xuyi (xū yí) that will blurt out when you mention crayfish is from Huai'an!

①Xuyi lobster

crayfish is one of the few foods that can unify the national taste, right? Among them, Huai'an and Xuyi is one of the most famous crayfish production areas.

Xuyi crayfish is nothing special, it’s more yellow and meat! Eat crayfish in other places as a calculation. When you come to Huai'an, let go of your stomach and press the basin!

Xuyi shrimp monster - "Shrimp Myth"

Address: No. 8 Donghu East Road, Xuyi County, Huai'an City

Now is not the season to eat crayfish, but I will plant grass for you first, after all, you can also eat crayfish in winter.

Xuyi shrimp monster can become an internet celebrity store in Xuyi, where there are many experts.

The shrimp shells they eat every day in summer can pile up so high in the hills. Many outsiders will come here to eat them specially, relying on a pot of thirteen-spicy crayfish that makes people feel aftertaste.

The shell of crayfish will be a little harder in winter and not as tasty as summer. You should eat it together in sauce.

Yushi Catering Shrimp Lobster Main Store - The leader of the lobster championship

Address: No. 8, Mingzhu Road, Huaihe, Xuyi County, Huai'an City

Yushi Lobster, which has more than 700 franchise stores across the country, is on Mingzhu Road in Xuyi.

Regardless of whether the quality of the franchise store has declined or not, the dignity of the main store must still be there.

Their lobsters are firstly clean, with white cheeks, white meat, white base, and very large. The signature lobster platter is very eye-catching when served on the table. No wonder the business is so good!

②Long fish face

When it comes to Huaian, long fish cannot be ignored. In addition to cooking, long fish noodles are also a very common way to eat them.

Huaiyang cuisine is well cooked, and the toppings are not much worse. Although Huai'an is not very famous, it is definitely underestimated.

Huai'an's gangzi noodles (long fish noodles are one of them), the essence is that the soup base must be made of bone soup with large bones, and then added toppings that have been stir-fried and tasted, which tastes very different.

Fengyun Noodle Restaurant - A must-eat bowl of noodles to come to Huaian

Address: No. 39 Zhuhai Road, Donghu Street, Qingjiangpu District, Huaian City

Da Huaian does not need to Hefulao Noodle Restaurant, it is enough to have Fengyun Noodle Restaurant!

Generally, long fish noodles are made in soup noodles. Fengyun Noodle Restaurant is one of the few Noodle Restaurants that make very good soup noodles and fried noodles . The long fish chosen by

is fresh and thick, and it is handled very well, without fishy smell, the noodle soup is fresh and fragrant, and the fried noodles are thick oily and red sauce. You will not feel greasy when you make them both. You can taste the chef's skills are very profound.

Sunjia Noodle Restaurant - A great century-old brand

Address: Room 27, Nanpingyuan Shop, Huaihai First City, Kaiyuan Road, Qingjiangpu District, Huai'an City

The century-old brand in Huai'an Noodle Restaurant is just the Sun Family Noodle Restaurant.

They have many branches in Huai'an. Generally, this one on Kaiyuan Road is a little more. Although the price is slightly more expensive than other noodle restaurants, it tastes good.

The long fish noodle in Sunjia Noodle Restaurant can be used as a double-spoken flavor with shredded pork, waist flower, pork liver, etc. The toppings are very tasty and are a typical Huaian method that is more chewy.

Pu Floor Pavilion - Old-fashioned method and new-style taste

Address: Room 27, Nanpingyuan Shop, Huaihai First City, Kaiyuan Road, Qingjiangpu District, Huai'an City

Their family opened in 2016 and is considered a "blind" in many old Huai'an noodle restaurants, so the practice will be more inclined to the current taste, less oil and less salt.

In addition to long fish noodles, their bone-decompressed noodles are also a great choice. Those who don’t eat enough will add 5 yuan and add another bone-decompressed meat.

In addition to noodles, the snacks are also good. I won the title of "Huaiyang Ming Snack", which is quite suitable for breakfast tea.

Xiaoyu pot sticker

Huaian has many lakes and rivers, and fish is indispensable on the dining table. Xiaoyu pot sticker is a relatively classic Huaian method.

was originally Hongze The fishermen on the lake killed the newly caught fish and cooked them in the pot. Then they posted a circle of pancake around the iron pot, which looked very similar to the ground pot chicken in Northeast China.

The cooked pancakes are salty and fresh, and the fish is mixed with the aroma of carbohydrates. Cooking the two together has the effect of 1+12.

Hongze Old Fish House

Address: No. 90-5, Huaihai North Road, Qingjiangpu District, Huai'an City (near Kangdong Road)

In Huai'an, when it comes to making fish fresh, no one can be a fisherman by Hongze Lake. If you don’t want to go there on purpose, I recommend this Hongze Old Fish Restaurant in the city.

Their aquatic products are mainly the lake food in Hongze Lake. There is no menu, just look at the dishes and get the card. The cost is large, and basically the locals are visiting it, and the taste is very reliable.

Small fish pot stickers are specialty. The fish is very tender and the meat falls off as soon as you sip it. Remember to dip the pancakes in the soup and eat them together.

High-speed rail is really a great thing, especially for people like us who love to eat and play.

At that time, you can have morning tea in Yangzhou in the morning, go to Huai'an at noon to eat soft-bottle fish, and go to Lianyungang to eat seafood in the evening... Just thinking about it makes your stomach growl.

/Recommended itinerary/

  • Huai'an city is not very big, and most of the attractions are concentrated in Chuzhou District , which is almost the same as 2 days and 1 night.Take a taxi between each attraction and the starting price is the distance between the starting price, or you can eat and drink after eating;

/Accommodation recommendation/

  • There are quite a lot of hotel choices in Huai'an. You can choose from Jinling Hotel (with five stars, good location), R&F Wanda Realm (branded), Kaiyuan Yiju (relatively new, near the canal), Shenwang Hotel (Wangwang hotel, cute and suitable for check-in);
  • Economic and Technological Development Zone also has Hilton Hampton and Kaiyuan Mingdu. The hotel quality is up, but it is a distance from the city, and the starting price of taxi can be reached.
