Jinpai Luo Ji Changwang Noodles
Before coming to Guiyang, my first impression of Guiyang snacks was rice noodle rolls. If there were a nationwide noodle competition, Guizhou's Changwang Noodles would definitely stand out. And this Changwang Noodles shop is the most popular and delicious one in Guiyang, definitely worth a try.
Silk Love Special Red Soup Silk Baby
Silk Baby is considered the most famous snack in Guiyang. Essentially, it is a thin pancake rolled with various small dishes. The name 'Silk Baby' comes from its resemblance to a swaddled baby when rolled up. Typically, this snack consists of several pancakes and over twenty kinds of small dishes. You can enjoy it by rolling different small dishes in the pancakes and seasoning them with various dipping sauces.
Lei's Tofu Balls
Tofu balls are made by shaping mashed tofu into round shapes and then deep-frying them. When you cut open the crispy exterior of the tofu ball, you'll find the inside is soft and steaming hot. Add some chili and soy sauce for seasoning... Overall, it's quite delicious.
Huaxi Wangji Beef Noodles
Huaxi is a district located in the southern part of Guiyang. Huaxi beef noodles are a famous snack in Guiyang, with many places to try them. However, Wangji is considered one of the most famous local spots.
Old Couple's Glutinous Rice
In addition to Changwang Noodles, another important breakfast choice for people in Guiyang is glutinous rice. Basic ingredients include chili, houttuynia, peanuts, and crispy pork. Other optional additions are pickled radish, pickled mustard, sausage, shredded potatoes, and more. You can find many vendors selling it on the streets in the morning, or you can specifically visit this old couple's place to try it.
Lao Kai Li Sour Soup Fish Zhaoji Store
This is a must-eat delicacy when visiting Guiyang. The taste of sour soup fish is very similar to Thailand's Tom Yum Goong, but the sourness does not come from lemon. Instead, it comes from fermented rice wine and stir-fried tomatoes, along with Litsea cubeba oil, a spice that inherently carries a strong lemon aroma.
Dushi Xin Daxin Doumi Hotpot Zhonggang Branch
The base of the red bean hotpot is made by stir-frying cooked green beans with various spices, then boiling them in the pot. When served, a small portion of the beans in the broth has already softened and blended into the soup, while the rest can be slowly simmered with other ingredients. The broth also contains pre-prepared pork belly. At first glance, the red soup hotpot may seem very spicy, but it is actually a tomato-based broth favored by people from Guizhou.
