Australia famous food

1, kangaroo meat

Kangaroo meat tastes a bit like beef, but it is not as tender as beef, and there is nothing special about it. However, tasting kangaroo meat, Australia's national treasure, undoubtedly adds another layer of cultural flavor. Kangaroo meat is allowed to be sold in most states. Some butchers have fresh meat, and some restaurants have kangaroo dishes. The price is close to beef.

For China tourists who come to Australia for the first time and taste it for the first time, they really need some skills to get a delicious kangaroo meat. Locals like to eat cooked kangaroo meat, but most people in China are not used to it, so you need to tell the waiter to roast the meat tenderly in advance, otherwise you will find it hard to swallow when you taste it for the first time.

When eating roasted kangaroo meat, the condiments are generally salt, pepper and lemon, and it is better to add a little pepper, because kangaroo meat is slightly sour and not suitable for China people's taste. Dip some pepper before eating, which can inhibit the sour taste and is delicious.

2. King Crab

The so-called king crab refers to the hypertrophy of crabs. The emperor crab is as big as a washbasin, and it makes people drool. Some people even brought the emperor crab shells back to China as souvenirs.

3, oysters

Oysters are also called oysters. Oyster fat in Australia is clean and cheap ($6/ 12). Oysters can be eaten raw or steamed. Many Hong Kong people go to Australia to eat oysters, and they even joke that it is worth a plane ticket. Fresh oysters are not covered. Customers can watch the salesperson open the lid and squeeze the fresh lemon juice until the oyster meat is eaten raw with the sauce. It's delicious.

4. abalone

Australia abounds in abalone. However, Australians don't know how to eat abalone. Abalone is basically only visible in domestic restaurants except for export. There used to be only a few Australian dollars per kilogram of abalone. As a large number of China people came to Australia, it gradually rose to more than 30 Australian dollars.

5.lobster

Australian lobster is the most famous in China. In the hometown of lobster, the price of lobster may not be cheap.

6. Salmon

Salmon is mainly used for raw food, which requires high hygiene. Salmon rich in Australia should be said to be the most hygienic.

Brisbane's power station market adds cultural connotation to the city. The market is located in the performing arts center on the Brisbane River, surrounded by carefully manicured flower beds. The sales stands in the market are like art stalls, decorated with dazzling foods such as oysters, beef, pheasants, duck breasts and refreshments.

5. Cottage dishes in Barossa Valley, South Australia

Barossa Valley in South Australia is the largest independent wine producing area in Australia. Immigrants from Europe have been rooted there for six generations, and they have established a prosperous grape manor. Food and wine have become an indispensable part of this area, and they are even closely integrated and inseparable. The flavor of Barossa farmhouse food comes from the Germans who first settled and immigrated here, but there are also examples of multicultural integration. The integration of Greeks, Italians, China people, Yugoslavs and recent Vietnamese immigrants in the state has also provided us with a huge food hodgepodge. There are sausages and barbecues with strong flavor, as well as salmon, venison, crayfish and some olive oil with unique taste.

Wine and food tours can be carried out everywhere, and even wine trains can take you to various wineries to taste local grapes and wines. Also in this area, Thorn Park in Clare Valley provides visitors with more opportunities for wine tours, allowing them to experience art courses while tasting wine, or to receive careful guidance from talented chef David Hay in cooking school.

In Western Australia, Margaret River is one of the most important local wine producing areas. Celeron wine, Chardonnay wine, red wine and mixed wine here are the best wines in Australia.

Treasure Island is undoubtedly the representative of Tasmania's wine industry. The wine industry here is not only thriving, but also the original water and soil provide the best salmon and crustacean food for the locals and people in mainland Australia. This fertile land also produces apples, berries, plums, nectarines, mustard and the most famous cheese.

The nearby King Island is a beautiful place. There are no traffic lights, the air is fragrant and the food has many bright spots.

They all seem to be mixed with nuts, raisins and popcorn in white chocolate or dark chocolate, but chocolate tastes different because of its hardness, toughness and composition.

Famous scenic spots in Australia

Sydney Opera House

Sydney Opera House is located in Beniland Point, Sydney. This comprehensive art center is regarded as a typical work of giant sculpture in the history of modern architecture and a symbol of Australia. Its appearance is like a white sail about to sail out to sea, which is in harmony with the surrounding scenery. A photography platform has been set up in Lovers Harbor near Sydney Opera House, with the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge as the background for tourists to take photos. Another attraction is the "Lady Macaulay Bench", which is actually a stone step. Macaulay was Australia's first governor. When he went out to sea, his wife looked out and waited here, because the terrain was high and the ships entering the port could be seen at the earliest. According to China people, this is the "Wangfutai". I am interested in a big tree on the shore. Its crown may be 100 square meters, and its age is at least 200 years, which is longer than that of their country. In my opinion, this is also history, and history does not have to be recorded in writing.

tropical rainforest

Go deep into the rainforest by amphibious vehicle. Crawler amphibious vehicles stumble on dirt roads, then jump into the water and wander in mountain streams. It is said that there are millions of tropical trees over 200 years old here. There are two kinds that impressed me deeply: First, the antlers fern, as its name implies, is a fern with leaves shaped like antlers, parasitic on other big trees, and its roots are attached to the trunk, forming a water bag that can store up to 100 kg of water, which is a good place for indigenous people to get water in the dense forest; There is also a kind of "poisonous wood", which is very thin and the thorns are only 2-3 cm thick. Animals will be highly toxic after being stabbed and bleeding. I have also seen this plant in Hainan Island Botanical Garden, where it is called "blood sealing throat". Fortunately, there are few such poisonous plants, otherwise it would be terrible to live in the forest.

Great Barrier Reef

After arriving at the Great Barrier Reef Pier, the first project is to take a translucent glass boat and watch the colorful underwater world. The Great Barrier Reef is famous for its coral species. Hard corals stand upright like trees, and soft corals are as elegant as grass; Starfish and conch can be seen everywhere, and sea cucumbers and seaweed are within reach; Colored small fish flock, and fierce big fish run amok. The shallow seabed shows the colorful other side of the world. The second project is a semi-submersible boat tour, which is actually similar to a semi-transparent glass bottom boat tour. It used to be from top to bottom, but now it's from both sides, even the sea area it passes through is the same.

st mary's cathedral

St Mary's Cathedral near Hyde Park in Sydney is the spiritual home of the Catholic community in Sydney. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Sydney, built on the site of the first Catholic church in Sydney. The cathedral is built by local sandstone, and the "Gothic" architectural style is the architectural heritage of medieval cathedrals in Europe. Founded in 182 1, Catholic priests officially came to Australia in 1820, so they are called the mother of the Australian Catholic Church. St Mary's church is grand and solemn. Father Mallogo's floor pattern in the catacombs of the church, with the theme of Genesis, is made of colored gravel and is famous for its exquisite craftsmanship. It is not only a precious legacy of the past, but also an important part of the spiritual and cultural life of the whole city and country today. The largest and oldest religious building in Australia is located at the corner of College Street and Prince Albert Road, opposite Hyde Park. As soon as the tourists entered the church, they were immediately infected by a solemn atmosphere.
