There are 6 specialty delicacies in Changsha, Hunan. Don't say I didn't tell you, don't miss them when you come to Changsha.

1. Changsha stinky tofu

When it comes to Changsha, many people's first impression is stinky tofu, but it is actually true. The stinky tofu in Changsha is basically everywhere on the street. I was also a child who grew up eating stinky tofu. Many foreigners dare not try stinky tofu because it is a bit smelly, but the fried stinky tofu is really fragrant, with special chili sauce, chopped green onion and coriander, etc. Be careful not to burn when eating, because hot soup may flow out.

2. Sugar and oil cake

Like stinky tofu, sugar-oil cake is a famous snack in Changsha. Basically, there are places that sell stinky tofu, and there will be sugar and oil cakes next to them. Although I don't like sweets very much, I really like sugar-oil cake. There are two types of sugar and oil cakes in Changsha. One is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the other is soft. Personally, I prefer to eat crispy ones on the outside. This kind of sugar-oil cake is usually purchased at street snack bars, while slightly larger snack bars or Hunan restaurants usually have soft sugar-oil cake. In addition, I have eaten sweet-scented osmanthus-flavored sugar and oil cake. It is very delicious, but I don't see it often.

3. Scallion oil cake

In addition to sugar and oil cake, scallion oil cake is also a specialty snack in Changsha. Although the names are similar, the tastes are completely different. Although scallion butter cakes are not often seen in the snack street, they are a breakfast memory of Changsha people when they were young. I remember when I was a child, my mother used to buy me scallion bean cakes for breakfast. The flour is mixed with the aroma of onions, which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and is delicious. Everyone must pay attention when eating scallion oil cake. If the taste is not crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, it is definitely not fried, or you can think that their onion oil cake is not authentic.

4. Deyuan steamed buns

Deyuan steamed buns are famous steamed buns in Changsha. When I used to rent a house, it was near the Deyuan steamed buns main store. Basically, every time I get off work, I can see a long line forming at the entrance of Deyuan Steamed Bun Shop. Everyone went to buy steamed buns. Basically, they were all grandparents and bought a big bag. Sometimes, I will join in the fun and buy some steamed buns to try. I like to eat fresh meat steamed buns, pickled cabbage steamed buns, and pickled mustard steamed buns, so I always buy these three types of steamed buns. You can also buy other flavors, and the sweet ones are also worth trying.

5. Changsha rice noodles

When it comes to Changsha snacks, we have to mention Changsha rice noodles, which is also the daily standard of Changsha people. In Changsha, there are basically several rice noodle shops in every community. What Changsha people like most is to get up in the morning, mutter a bowl of noodles, and start a vibrant day. There are many options for Changsha rice noodles, including wide rice noodles and flat rice noodles, and there is also handmade rice noodles, which taste better. In addition, there are a variety of special size to choose from. If you don't like soup powder, you can also order mixed powder, which is also very delicious. Among them, mixed powder with lard is also a famous snack.

6. Shaving jelly

Shawei jelly is a special snack in Hunan, which is different from Changsha rice noodles. The shaving jelly looks crystal clear and will be placed there like jelly at first. When you order one, the boss will use a homemade scraper to scrape it off, which is usually in the shape of a wire. Just add various seasonings, stir with shredded cucumber and peanuts, and the delicious shaving jelly is ready. In the streets and alleys of Changsha, you can often see vendors selling shaved jelly. The taste of shaved jelly is quite refreshing and you can eat it when the weather is hot.

The above are all Changsha's famous specialty snacks. When you come to Changsha, you must try it. There are also Changsha's sausages and various milk tea that are delicious. The introduction is not very comprehensive. You will know when you come to Changsha, and maybe you will find more delicious.
