Hey, guys, welcome to China's night food city, Changsha! The night of Changsha is really very lively, and I was shocked by the crowd at night. Hope you enjoy this night walking tour. ------------------------------ ★★ Briefing Hunan Food ★★ ------------------------------ Changsha people boast to be the best gourmand of China and here people spend a lot of time eating. Xiang Cuisine is one of the Eight Cuisines in China and has a fine and delicate appearance and a hot & sour taste and the heavy and hot taste is an equal competitor to the spicy food of Sichuan. Street dining and restaurants in the city make every visitor's mouth hot. No matter the featured snacks - 'Stinky Tofu' and 'Sisters'Rice Balls' in Huogongdian (Fire Palace) or the famous spicy shrimps at Nanmenkou, the many types of delicious local food will not disappoint any guests. Landlocked Hunan's chili-rich cuisine is similar to that of western China's Sichuan province. Chili, garlic and the unusual so-called 'strange sauce' enliven many dishes. Chairman Mao, who was Hunanese, once claimed that the more chilies one eats the more revolutionary one becomes. It was meant as a joke (most probably) but the statement is in accordance to the Chinese belief that diet makes a great difference to the well being of a person. Changsha specialties include dongan chicken, stinking tofu, chili smoked meat and cold rice noodles in a hot and spicy sauce. Honey sauces are favored for desserts, which include favorites such as water chestnuts or cassia-flower cakes. For those of the non-spicy palate, the city still has an array of cooler dishes, including tasty dumplings (Jiao zi), eggs and pickles. ------------------------------ ★★ Recommended Restaurants ★★ ------------------------------ For your reference, the following are the restaurants rated most popular by the locals: ★★★★ Huogongdian (Fire Palace) Restaurant ★★★★ First Branch: No. 46, Pozi Jie Street, Changsha Second Branch: No. 258, Laodong Lu Street, Changsha Third Branch: No. 107, Wuyi Donglu Street, Changsha Tel: (0731) 5813161, 5817591 ★★★★ Nameless Restaurant ★★★★ Description: A small restaurant where you can taste the authentic Changsha dishes with the real taste that is so popular with local people; reasonable priced and recommended as the Number One for visitors.
