Tianjin delicacies on the streets and lanes!

2018-09-11

 "Goubuli" and "18th Street Mahua" are not the only two delicacies of Tianjin!

Authentic delicacies are always those ones involved into common life. Good wine needs no bush. Good delicacies need not neither. Every kind of delicacies you like could be wrapped into a piece of thin and big pancake and a layer of fried egg.

They could be shredded turnip, kelp, toufu skin, cucumber,or even fried lean pork, fish cake and Tianbula. All of these are in one piece of pancake. Stuffing determine price.Some delicacies names of Tianjin are easy to mislead people about its real meaning,

because many of them are evolved from local slang. For example, the famous "Guo Ba Cai" of Tianjin is evolved from "Ga Ba Cai".

Shuli refers to mature pear in Chinese, but the cake has nothing to do with pear. Just remember that the taste is always the most important thing. Shuli Cake, which is also known as Zenger Cake, is a kind of folk snack well received by children because of its smooth taste, diversified colors and yummy toppings. Hamo Tumi·The Intangible Cultural Heritage is a kind of traditional delicacy, one of the intangible cultural heritages of Tianjin.  The over 600 years old local delicacy is renowned because it was in connection with "Jingnan Campaign", a famous historical event. Zhu Di, Emperor Yongle, raised an army when he was still Lord Yan in the name of "riding the emperor of 'evil' ministers, squashing internal war". He led the troop to south and occupied Nanjing. At that time, soldiers invented a kind of easy-to-carry army provisions made of baked wheaten bread with caproin. On this basis, people improved and created this yummy and easy-to-carry snack in last generations.

As many as 26 procedures of "Hama Tumi" have been completely inherited till now. Many tourists would be surprised at its appearance with stuffing spilling out And wonder whether it is correctly cooked. Actually the spilling stuffing is exactly the reason why it is called "Hama Tumi" (frog spiting honey). Just imagine that the chapped place is the mouth of a frog who is spiting sweet stuffing out. Honey refers to stuffing processed with honey, usually including traditional sweetened bean paste, sweet-scented osmanthus and popular chocolate. Laobaosan (Stir fried Mutton Heart, Liver and Kidney) Laobaosan, which is a very authentic homemade delicacy, is very popular in Tianjin just like the Quick-Fried Pork Intestines of Beijing. It is proper to go with rice, beer, spirits and liquor. Three major materials are mutton kidney, heart and liver which would be fried with green pepper, red bell pepper and garlic. Delicate, mellow, crispy, tender and smooth are suitable words to describe the dish, especially the kidneys.

Four top homemade dishes in Tianjin are Laobaosan, omelet with shredded pork, Kung Pao Chicken and shredded pork with garlic sauce. Instead of reading the introductions and running at the mouth, why not pack and come to Tianjin immediately?
