Special jelly noodles that can only be found in Laoshan
Laoshan Liangfen, one of the famous snacks in Qingdao, is made by carefully boiling a unique type of seaweed called "shi huacai" with the mountain spring water from Laoshan. It is also known as "haicai liangfen" by locals in Qingdao. This slippery and refreshing liangfen looks transparent and shiny, but it has a smooth texture and a cool taste with a slight chewiness. When you put it in your mouth, it naturally melts. Adding some garlic paste, coriander, and spicy red oil, the appetizing appearance alone can make people eat three bowls in one go. The flavor is also lingering, making it a must-try authentic Laoshan delicacy when you climb Laoshan.
Authentic "Wang's BBQ"
Authentic Wangjie Barbecue is located at 1132 Zhongshan Road, Shinan District, opposite Zhongshan Road Police Station. It has been popular for many years. There are now many branches and counterfeits, but what I recommend is definitely the most authentic Wangjie Barbecue that requires queuing for a long time. No matter how the surroundings change, it cannot stop the long queue in front of Wangjie Barbecue. The grilled meat is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and not burnt. It's difficult to grasp the degree, but sprinkling some cumin and chili powder on it will definitely bring surprises after eating! The grilled whole squid is even more amazing. It's a must-order for almost everyone. The whole squid is grilled to perfection, delicious and juicy, with the secret sauce brushed on top. When you take a bite, you will be amazed at how fresh and tender the squid is.
