How to find local food when traveling? How come?

In the process of traveling, you must experience it. It must be local food. But where is the local food? How to choose is a very important problem. After all, the restaurants in many online celebrities are not very delicious now, and many people may not find authentic local dishes.

Brush APP and website

When it comes to finding a restaurant, many people's first reaction is public comment. When reading comments, in addition to praise, I usually read bad reviews. After all, praise can be brushed, and bad reviews are relatively objective except malicious slander. Judging by yourself can basically prevent lightning strikes.

I have to say that the public's comments in domestic restaurants are still quite valuable, but not necessarily abroad.

An easily overlooked application is Instagram. Before I went to Kaohsiung, I searched for food labels on ins and found a lot of food.

Generally, big cities in Europe and America recommend Catwalk Eagle, which is the catwalk eagle. Top restaurants are all good. One more thing, foreigners generally don't like to use filters to shoot food, and the photos taken are very real.

Asia recommends local food apps. The first one is Cami, which is generally used in Malaysia, Singapore or Hong Kong and Macao. The comments are basically in Chinese, and they are also very friendly to China people.

In this APP, each user is a "foodie" and is divided into six levels. You can focus on those restaurants praised by "senior foodies", which are basically worth a try.

If you go to Taiwan Province Province, you should remember it by loving food. Earlier, I asked my friend in Taiwan Province Province what food APP she had, and she recommended it, saying that local people would use it to find food. I tried it several times in Taipei and it was really reliable.

Mango plate is the most recommended website for local food reviews in Korea. This website does not make a profit through advertising, nor does it charge users and businesses. It ensures that all comments on the platform come from the real experience of users, so it is very objective. It has a mobile phone application that can switch to English. It doesn't matter if you don't know Korean.

Let me talk about Japan again. Speaking of local food guide websites in Japan, it must be Tabelog. Tabelog focuses on the food field and has no scoring system. It's up to ordinary Japanese to eat it bite by bite. Needless to say, it is authoritative and referential.

Since we talk about app, let's mention two city guide APPs, namely LV City Guide and LUXE. The food recommendation inside can also be concerned.

LV city guide xiyoujun wrote an article specially before, which contains a lot of gold.

In addition to restaurants, hotels and scenic spots in these two apps are more reliable, and there will be lifestyle destinations such as bookstores, art galleries and museums, which are suitable for literary youth.

Looking for local people

For the most authentic food in the city, the locals naturally have the most say. Most food raiders ask local friends for advice, and every recommendation is accurate.

Now the network world is so developed, Weibo, Zhihu and Douban. Any one can be a platform for you to meet new friends. Traveling with familiar friends, it is better to chat with the old man sitting on the side of the road in the sun, the owner of the fruit stand, or the local people sitting next to him on the plane.

They are more likely to be your local food guides than taxi drivers and hotel receptionists. Tell real taxi drivers and hotel receptionists that they don't have much patience and time to chat with you, so they are always perfunctory and not recommended.

What if you don't like chatting with strangers? I recommend two practical methods. One is to ask questions in Zhihu and invite local foodies to answer them. The other is to find a food guide written by local people in Douban, and the pro-test results are not bad.

There is also a channel, which usually likes to watch vlog and can pay attention to youtuber all over the world. In fact, they can also be your dietary guidelines.

For example, KINDACOOL, a famous beauty blogger in South Korea, although her videos are mainly about beauty and wearing, occasionally there are videos of shopping and traveling. When she watches videos, she often grows some restaurants and writes them down in her notebook. You can arrange it next time you go out.

Go to the right place

First of all, to be clear, you can hardly find any delicious food that surprises you in the scenic spot. For example, the chances of finding food in Wangfujing Street, Kuanzhai Lane Street and Hefang Street are too small. Secondly, the shops decorated by network celebrities are especially suitable for taking pictures, not necessarily delicious, and many of them are one-time businesses.

During my travels, I often encounter some unexpected food. I didn't plan any trip at all in one day. I just wander around or take the bus, trying to live like a local, instead of treating myself as a tourist. The chances of encountering delicious food are also particularly high.

In the process of searching for food stores, it is also important to keep a clear head and keen observation. Although these shops do not have high-grade decoration, they often have first-class taste. It's best to see which one is the most when eating. It's right to go in.

The most recommended place for foodies is around the old residential areas of the city. These places are basically repeat customers. The price is not expensive and the taste is guaranteed. Highly recommended. The fly restaurant in Chengdu is a typical example.

The other is near the school. I don't know if you have noticed that many universities are full of delicious food. After all, students are not like tourists, and stores are definitely more inclined to do long-term business.

In addition, it is strongly recommended that you visit local special markets, such as the morning market in Yanji, the night market in Taiwan Province Province, the cooked food center in Singapore and the weekend market in Europe, which are also gathering places for delicious food.

Look at the list

Compared with Michelin, the bibendum list is actually more informative, and its purpose is to commend those restaurants that are "delicious and value for money".

Bibendum's selection criteria are within a fixed price range (for example, 36 euros in Europe, 40 dollars in the United States, 300 Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, 200 RMB in Shanghai and 5,000 yen in Tokyo). If you can guarantee high-quality food, you will be recommended, so the restaurants on the bibendum list are super cost-effective.

On some of the apps mentioned above, in addition to daily food reviews, the list of restaurants will be published regularly. For example, we are familiar with the public comment on the black pearl list, and the restaurants on the list are relatively competitive.

Tabelog in Japan also publishes TheTabelogAward and Tabelog Top 100 Stores every year. Compared with the top 100 stores, Tabelog Award has higher gold content and influence, which is equivalent to the Oscar in Japanese food industry.

There are also mango plates in Korea. I suggest you look at the list of "TopList" recommended by the website editor. There are a selection of western restaurants and barbecue shops, so you won't step on the thunder if you choose one.

Documentary+variety show

If you think it is too much trouble to make a food guide, food variety shows and documentaries are also good choices. The shooting teams of these programs help you prepare in advance, and the restaurants they choose are also very particular, so you can punch in with them.

In recent years, domestic food documentaries are getting better and better. Tongue tip series, Shunde flavor, Xinjiang flavor, world flavor, flavor origin, life series and Shunde flavor are all of good quality. I went to Shunde, England on the tip of my tongue.

Recommend BBC overseas: Mediterranean food tour, gluttonous for Italy, food players can not only see attractive food, but also learn a lot about foreign food culture.

Variety shows, such as Kangxi Comes, which specializes in street snacks, have been eaten almost all over Taiwan Province. In addition, there are several questions about Taiwan Province cuisine among college students and lonely gourmets. You can go to them.

Not to mention the Japanese, push "Lonely Food" to see if Uncle Goro can be cured. Recommend a website: www.abachibi.com/kodoku, there are restaurants that the protagonist of every episode of Little Dreams has been to. If you are interested, you can look at children's shoes.

There is an earlier program called street food fighter. There are several questions about Japan's relatively small destinations. Meng Xiao, the host, is the originator of eating and broadcasting, and it tastes good.

Another variety show "0755-79000" by Mr. Bai has been filmed for the second season, and each episode is about the food of a destination. The selected cities are all great, such as Penang, Bangkok, Tokyo and Fukuoka, as well as Chengdu, Hongkong, Harbin, Xi 'an and Wuhan in China.
