I am from Datong, and I love Datong food. When I was a child, I could eat 20 pieces of "Liu Tutou" from Headquarters Street at a time. They cost 10 yuan (10 yuan for 8 pieces at that time, but now they are a bit expensive at 2.5 yuan each), not to mention the shaved noodles, I also like the haggis noodles, and there are oatmeal noodles, yellow cake stew, yam and taro, glass dumplings, hot pot Tofu and so on, Lingqiu's bitter ciao powder is put on fried chili peppers before eating a yellow sesame cake, Hunyuan's little wife's jelly is added with lotus beans and Guangling's dried tofu is added with more spicy oil, there is no need to mention, oil Fried cakes and Fenglin Pavilion's wheat flour are the national delicacies. The eight big bowls were served at the wedding banquet in the past, Dongfang Liang millet, but I don't like millet porridge, Datong County Huanghua, Yang Gao's Preserved apricots are all delicious, but I feel that our Datong delicacies lack successful market packaging, cannot create a brand, and cannot be promoted nationwide! This is where our heart aches! On various BBSs, only Datong people praise their delicious food. Outsiders know very little about it. In fact, Datong has so many delicious food! It tastes better than some well-known brands in the country. How does Beijing’s Donglaishun taste? It’s far worse than Lao Sun’s! But this is a "hundred-year-old store"! There are so many mid-range restaurants in Datong, and the consumption is not high, so you can eat well. Nowadays, the Oriental Shaved Noodles and Chai-style Shaved Noodles make the noodles into a fast food form, which can be considered as a certain contribution, but the real trump card of Shaved Noodles is Dongguan No. 7 Middle School. Come on! As a Datong person, I wholeheartedly support Datong food! !
