Method/step
1. Nanshi Food Street
Nanshi Food Street is a three-story cloister-style building that brings together a variety of tianjin classic snacks, and is a good place to taste Tianjin cuisine. Among them, Tianjin's famous Gui Fa Xiang twist flower, 18th Street twist flower, ear eye, stone door Kansu bag and so on can be found. The second floor is mainly based on restaurants, there are Sichuan cuisine, Lu cuisine and other cuisines, but most of them are more expensive, and the dishes are uneven, and the more recommended ones are Tianjin Restaurant, Duck Creek Restaurant, etc. In addition, the Confucius Restaurant on the second floor often has cross-talk performances in the afternoon and evening. Today's South Market Food Street outside the tourists come mainly, the price will be more expensive than outside, it is recommended to try snacks here to shop around the street, if you want to eat dinner or buy gifts to take away, it is not recommended to choose here. Here is a square food mall, a variety of famous Tianjin snacks are gathered here, such as: Gui Faxiang Eighteenth Street twist flowers, dog buns, nuts Zhang, ear and eye fried cakes, pancakes and so on, just gathered together to present to tourists to taste and purchase, is a must-go place for tourists in Tianjin, and Tianjin local friends say that they are respectful of this place. The antique buildings of food street are quaint feelings, and it is still quite distinctive to shop, but when it comes to food itself, it feels that the shops on the food street are dazzling and then they are also mixed, and they are too lazy to think about whether they are authentic, only to see that people are crowded everywhere, and various tour groups come to sweep, at this time it is really lamenting the huge consumption potential of the Chinese people. Because here is now mainly to serve tourists, although a variety of Tianjin snacks can be found, but the price is naturally more expensive, if you can find in other places, often can indeed be found, do not consider here, the outside price is lower than this famous food street. I think the significance of coming to Nanshi Food Street is more about coming to the name, learning what characteristics you can choose from, and then knowing what to buy outside.
2. Gui Fa Xiang Eighteenth Street Twist Flower
Gui Fa Xiang twist flower is a long-established food in Tianjin, generally when you go to Tianjin, you always have to bring some specialties, twist flower is definitely the best choice, both convenient and delicious. Gui Fa Xiang twist Riverside Road store is a relatively large store, the location is very good, many buses can go to Binjiang Road, as shown = to the bus is very convenient. The store is nice and the service attitude is ok. There are many kinds of flavors, the most traditional is the assortment taste, as well as sesame, pepper salt, hawthorn taste, if you eat it yourself, buy bulk is good, you can choose a lot of flavors, about 22 yuan a pound, if you buy a box, the small twist box is mixed, about 25 yuan, a little thick inside the five cannabis flowers is about 35 yuan a box. In addition to twist flowers, there are also chestnuts and so on, which taste very good and are worth buying.
3. Ear eye fried cake
Personally, I think this is the most recommended one in Tianjin Sanjieli, the most recommended in various flavors is still traditional bean filling, and other fillings have only been launched in recent years. And I have to say that the ear and eye have also made full progress in the past two years, and the store products have kept pace with the times, and they are no longer the food in the alleys. The price is 3.5 yuan a, it is best to just out of the pan fried cake, you braving the heat to eat, the taste is really super praise, the outer skin of the fried cake is fried soft and crispy, the outer skin is fried golden, very appetizing, the inside of the fried cake is also very soft, soft feeling, very sticky taste, eat very good, the inner trap is also very delicious, not very greasy, not sweet but the taste of bean paste is really filling your whole mouth.
4. Dog Bu Li (Shandong Road Main Store) vs Shimen Kansu Bun (Nanshi Food Street Store)
Dog Bu Li Bun is a traditional Chinese snack in Tianjin, founded in 1858 AD (during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty), the first of the "Three Absolute Gems of Tianjin" and one of the long-established brands in China. The dog ignores the noodles and fillings of the buns, the selection of fine materials, the production process is strict, the appearance is beautiful, especially the bun folds are evenly proportioned, and each bun is not less than 15 pleats. Freshly basketed buns, fresh but not greasy, fragrant and delicious. Dogburi buns are mainly fresh meat buns, and there are 6 categories and 98 varieties of three fresh buns, seafood buns, sauce meat buns, and vegetarian buns.
Stone Gate Kansu Bun, Tianjin's vegetarian snacks, the popular Stone Gate Kansu Bun, well-known as the earliest time-honored brand of vegetarian buns in the country, has a history of more than 100 years. Shimen Kansu Bao Shop was originally a true suyuan that opened on Gongnan Avenue in the last years of the Qianlong Dynasty. Because the shopkeeper built a gate at the entrance to prevent the summer rain from entering the store, he was given the nickname of "Stone Gate", and later he was given the "Stone Gate Kansu Bao" by the Cixi Emperor and established this name. A total of 19 kinds of ingredients are invested in the stone gate kansu bun filling, all of which are famous products from all over the world, and the buns made of thin skin and large filling, have bite strength, its rich and unique vegetarian flavor, the aftertaste of the food is endless, especially the elderly like to eat, and it is indeed a unique traditional flavor snack in Tianjin. Personally feel that this is one of the most cost-effective buns in Tianjin, although the dog does not care about the buns in Tianjin is the most famous, but after coming to Tianjin found that the store located in the ancient culture street is actually quite distinctive, the door is small, the sign is very old, the location is not very conspicuous, but quietly in the corner for so many years, when there are many people, it is also necessary to queue for a period of time to buy. This bun is very characteristic, the bun stuffing is big and soft, the filling actually has bean sprouts, bean skin, curd milk and so on, anyway, I am the first time in my life to eat this kind of stuffing, 10 yuan 4 the price is also fair. A pint of vegetarian bun is its signature bun, there are wood ear carrot shreds in the filling, anyway, I think it is very delicious, may wish to taste the same one.

Among the Snacks in Tianjin, pancake fruit is the most famous, this kind of snack is not eaten in the restaurant restaurant, only to the vendors pushing the cart or roadside shops can taste the citizens' snacks with rich flavor culture.
