Fujian has always been a favorite food destination for editors.
I love to go to the tourists Jiji, but small fresh and romantic Xiamen vacation,
I was also in Quanzhou, full of ancient taste, for a pot of ginger hen duck to go around;
I also love to go to Zhangzhou, which is sandwiched between them, and eat cheap snacks all over the street;
Needless to say the provincial capital of Fuzhou, and its treasure island Pingtan;
Even Shaxian County, the birthplace of Shaxian snacks, has not been forgotten by Xiaobian...
I thought that the treasures of Fujian had been dug up by me! However, a while ago, under the strong recommendation of Fujian friends, we dug up a food treasure.
It is a treasure that is rarely known for its cuisine and is seriously underestimated by the public - Putian.
The traffic to start this shopping trip is also more convenient than I imagined, friends from Xiamen 1h arrived, and from Hangzhou xiaobian, it only took 3.5h!
In Putian, I did not go to any scenic spots, simply shopped and ate for three days, and successfully subverted the impression of xiaobian on this "shoe capital". Moreover, it brings you a Putian food test guide that is almost impossible to find on the Internet.
Compared to the name of "Shoe Capital",
The other side of Putian is more worthy of being seen
Let's talk about Putian, a city sandwiched between Fuzhou and Quanzhou, and many people's impressions of it are limited to shoes and hospitals.
In fact, the history here is called "Xinghua", which has a deep historical background and colorful Puxian folk customs, the most special of which is the twice a year and the lively Lantern Customs.
As the birthplace of Mazu culture, it attracts millions of pilgrimages all year round.
The city is full of old times that have slowed down.
When strolling through the bustling commercial streets of the city, I accidentally stumbled into the "Three Lanes and Seven Alleys" and strung into the crisscrossing ancient streets. Instantly switch from the hustle and bustle and fast pace of the downtown to the original slow life.
On the way to forage in the township, you also pass the small villages in the old street, the rows of houses are scattered, and the longan trees and papaya trees are planted in front of the courtyard, which is extremely quiet.
The city is full of Putian people's enthusiasm for their hometown and their pursuit of food.
Backed by the mountains and the sea, the ingredients are all the benefits of the mountains and seas, such as abalone from Nanri Island, flower clams from Lingchuan, clams from Dorae village, red cabbage from Xiuyu Island, turtle fish from Meizhou Island, and Tongyinzi fish from Jiangkou...
Xiaobian has thoroughly experienced the daily food of Putian people in the past few days:
Get up in the morning and put on a bowl of Putian brine noodles,
Eat a small fried bun and a bowl of stewed meat between foraging,
During the dinner time, enjoy the nourishment of drip duck and the delicious taste of braised tofu...
From a variety of flour noodles and special snacks to every dish on the banquet, every taste of the belly is inseparable from a "fresh" word.
