Hey guys! Foodies share today! Don't miss the following popular Chinese food!


First of all, let me introduce you a famous Chinese snack or street food 煎饼果子 (Chinese pancake)!

You can find Chinese pancake stand on street in each city in China, from north to south. It is a kind of food accepted by different mouths. Students and working person buy it as a breakfast(早餐)on the way to work or as a midnight snack (夜宵)on their way back home after work.

Traditionally, there are crispy 麻叶 (which is a fried thin piece made of flour) or 油条 (which is a fried thick piece made of flour) and lettuce inside the pancake. However, you could add bacons, pikles and other fillings you wish to have.


Secondly, is another traditional Chinese snack Fried Dough Twist (麻花).

In different areas of China there are different types and different flavors of 麻花. The soft type is just like Chinse version of donut, with twist shape instead of circle. People love to dip in sugar and honey. The hard type is always smaller than the soft type and could be sweet or salty or even spicy. The two most famous cities known for delicious 麻花 are Tianjin (天津) and Chongqing (重庆).


Last but not least, do you like Chinese hotpot 火锅?

Soups like clear soup,tomato and spicy soup are quite common in China.

Clear Soup (清汤)does not have the effect of spicy and appetizing(开胃的), but has a light taste, light fragrance and nutrition (营养), which is good for our body. For the majority of light taste lovers, elderly, and women, clear soup hotpot has a good tonic effect. (滋补身子)

Tomato hotpot(番茄火锅)has a delicate flavor, which can be used to cook seafood, meat and various vegetables. You can also taste the soup before puting meat and vegetables. Tomatoes are rich in vitamins (富含维他命)needed by the human body, especially vitamin C. Vitamin C helps people with their digestive system (消化系统)and can slow down skin aging.

Spicy hotpot originated in Chongqing(重庆), which has its unique culture and formula, becoming a part of Chinese culture.
