How to think of "Hangzhou Xiaolongbao" this street food?

As one of the most popular tourist cities, Hangzhou has become a battleground for the repeated harvesting of net red food from all over the country. Regardless of how it is evaluated, foreign tourists still come to Hangzhou in an endless stream on weekends and long vacations between May Day and National Day, and in the midst of the epidemic, to stroll around the West Lake, to taste the Dragon Well, and then leave without forgetting to lament that there is nothing good to eat in Hangzhou.

Opening the phone, the netizens of the trolls are clearly laid out there, difficult to eat, expensive, chain stores everywhere, the majority of foreign food ...... this siege of Hangzhou flavor, in the last year, the point of the Dudu German stationed in the peak.

As one of the country's more popular tourist cities, Hangzhou has become a battleground for the harvesting of online food from across the country. Than the snail powder in Liuzhou, hot pot in Chongqing, stinky tofu in Changsha, and pot roast in Northeast China. When foreigners come to Hangzhou, they only come to visit West Lake, taste Longjing, eat vinegar fish, and try Hangzhou xiaolongbao (small dumplings), which originally belonged to Shengzhou. It seems that there is no single dish in Hangzhou that has swept the other cities.

Hangzhou people have refuted, but gradually no longer argue, those home familiar flavor is not recognized by outsiders accept, seems to be slowly become reasonable.

The old Hangzhou people on the know-how said, "Not quite accept the name 'food desert', but if you ask me what kind of amazing food Hangzhou has, it seems that there is really none."

Beyond the snail noodles of Liuzhou, which triggered the nation's noodle-shaking craze, the Chongqing skewers and Chengdu hot pots that line the streets, the stinky black beans of Changsha, the pot-boiled pork of the Northeast, and the exquisite Cantonese dim sum, Hangzhou doesn't seem to have a single dish, or even a single snack, that has ever swept through any other city. The "Hangzhou Xiaolongbao," whose signboards are displayed all over the country, is actually a specialty of Shengzhou in Shaoxing, and has nothing to do with Hangzhou.

Since local food can't get out of Hangzhou, it's better to stay within the city's boundaries, but it seems that the famous restaurants are not quite up to the task.

Foreign tourists to Hangzhou, to the West Lake, will want to try the century-old "Louwailou" dishes. "A building when the wind and moon drink, ten miles of lakes and mountains exempt from drunken eyes", this from the Qianlong period on the reputation, received a large number of foreign guests, has a deep historical heritage of the national food hall, perennial crowded with tour groups from all over the country, but in the various food platforms, but you can always see the "difficult to eat! " "too expensive" "will not go back for a second time" such comments.

Eating in the "building outside the building", more can determine the correctness of Hangzhou food desert title - even a hundred years of signboards are so mediocre, it seems that Hangzhou food really can not.

This specific complaint is not only about the restaurant, but also about the Hangzhou cuisine itself, which is on the list of dark dishes, with the name of the West Lake Vinegar Fish.

This in the legend of "sour not down teeth, sweet not greasy mouth, salty not snore, fresh not fishy" Hangzhou famous dishes, in the eyes of most foreign tourists, was soaked in the saturated broth of the grass carp, a kind of sour, salty, sticky and slippery texture, the flavor is really not very friendly.
