| Zhengzhou, despite its role
as the main transit point for travelers in and beyond Henan, is not
the most culinary city in China. It is, however, a rapidly modernising
city, and as such there are a wealth of restaurants to choose from.
The food here mainly consists of authentic Henan cuisine, carp and
chicken being most dishes main component. The Chinese here are proud
of their local produce, including, most famously, the traditional
pastries (called Taosibao, but with different varieties including
Dajiujia, Pipasu and Chongyang huagao) and the see-through noodles
(Liangfen), which are both said to have been popular dishes on the
emperor's plate in bygone days. Of more simple fare, there are fish
slices with noodles (Liyu peiman), wooden bucket-cooked chicken (Tongzi
bao) and a delicious stewed yellow carp dish (Huangmeng yu). |
