Why is Hangzhou called the gourmet desert?

Every city is not a gourmet desert and has its own local characteristics. As for why Hangzhou is called gourmet desert, I think it has something to do with the region, and the taste of each place is different.

1, people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai like sweetness, while hangzhou dishes in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai is characterized by paying attention to light oil, light pulp, tender and tender, and paying attention to the combination of fresh and salty, which leads many people who like spicy food to blacken directly and have no advantage in price.

Hangzhou is a famous tourist city, and many people complain about the lack of "fireworks". The so-called "fireworks" are night market culture, street stall characteristics and snack culture. Due to the need of urban management, this aspect is relatively concentrated in Hangzhou, such as Wulin Night Market, Wu Shan Road Night Market and Laxi Street, which is not as rich in snack culture as Changsha, Chongqing and Chengdu night markets.

3. Foreign specialties will be improved according to the tastes of local people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and authentic Sichuan cuisine will also be improved into comprehensive cuisine. Local food and drinks are being eaten by internet celebrities. Hangzhou is a city of network celebrities, and the punching culture is popular among network celebrities. The dishes ordered by many restaurants in online celebrities are not outstanding, but the marketing is very good, which leads to many people being trampled under their feet, so they even spit out the food culture in Hangzhou.

Generally speaking, the old city is the best place to preserve the urban food culture. However, whether it is within ten doors or in the Laowu District, Hangzhou is not large in scale. The future science and technology city, riverside and Xiasha where young people gather were all wasteland villages a few years ago. Even the large-scale development of cultural and educational areas in the west of the city is at the beginning of the century, and a drop of water can't moisten a potted flower.

We think that most places with rich food culture have a lot of street snacks and fly restaurants, but behind this, we need to have relatively cheap rent support. Needless to say, the house price in Hangzhou.

6. Hangzhou is not as rich in dock culture as Wuhan and Chongqing, and many people don't like spicy and greasy food.

7. Hangzhou cuisine depends largely on seasonality and slow work, so it is difficult for modern catering industry to pass on its original flavor; At the same time, few people are willing to cook authentic local dishes, and many good tastes gradually disappear.

8. The development of catering industry in Hangzhou still feels that it has not caught up with the development of the city. Although there are many new stores and products every year, there are still too few high-quality ones.
