Whenever I go to a place, I must eat some local delicacies. I personally think that delicacies do not necessarily have to be exquisite and expensive, but what the locals and tourists like and can accept. A piece of tofu, a bowl of noodles, and special local flavors and customs are definitely delicacies. This is my second time in Zhangye. In addition to seeing the scenery and historical sites, I must eat a bowl of fried cannonballs. Sunji Fried Cannonballs is a famous brand. One person can't eat too much. A simple bowl, a plate of beef, and a plate of pickled garlic will make you full and comfortable.
If you want to talk about what special and delicious food there is in Zhangye, this Sunji Fried Cannon is definitely one of the best. As a time-honored restaurant, the location is also very good. It is quite close to the Drum Tower in the city center, and the store door is just around the corner. The specialty here is Fried Cannon, which is short noodles. There are mainly two ways to eat it. The vegetarian Fried Cannon is relatively light, and the meat Fried Cannon has a lot more meat. The amount of meat is sufficient but there is more fat, which feels a bit greasy. The large portion is very impressive, but the speed of serving here is relatively slow, and it took a long time to get it. Braised meat is also a specialty of this restaurant. Here, you weigh the portion first and then pay by the portion. The portion is weighed dry. After cutting, it will be poured with soup several times. It is particularly fragrant, but there is a lot of fat in it, which is a bit greasy. In addition, the appearance of the side dishes in this restaurant is also good, you can try the ones you like. In general, it is highly recommended. The price is not expensive after a meal. Two people can basically eat it. People from the south still have to take it easy when ordering dishes.
First of all, it is very famous. People say that Sunji Fried Cannonball is delicious and very famous. I went there for its reputation. As soon as I entered the store, it was packed with people. There was no place to sit. I had to queue up. The waiter also shouted the number at the top of his voice. Then the ticket was issued, and I waited for the meal. I waited for a whole hour. The number was called, and the meal was taken. I was in no mood to eat the meal. The color did not make me appetite. It tasted nothing. I could taste the braised meat on top (if you want vegetarian Fried Cannonball, there is no braised meat on top. If you want meat Fried Cannonball, the braised meat is added to the vegetarian Fried Cannonball). The fried noodles below had a light salt taste, and the taste of rapeseed and tofu. I ate a few bites and left. I have never eaten such a bad Fried Cannonball! Sunji Fried Cannonball is sold for its reputation!
A friend of my college classmate's father-in-law brought us here. This store is located at a traffic light intersection, so it's hard to park. I suggest you park somewhere else and walk here. The first floor is the front. After entering the first floor, you are facing the stairs. Go upstairs to the second floor to find their business hall and bar. This store is very popular. If you come late, there will be no place. It's best to make a reservation in advance. The hot water in the store is the noodle soup for cooking noodles. It tastes very good and you must drink it. I recommend the meat stir-fry in the store. It tastes great. Although meat is added, it is not greasy and there is no fishy smell. This store is not a Muslim store. So you can order pig's trotters, and the taste of braised pork ribs is also great
This restaurant is so popular that there are always a lot of people queuing up every day. Zhangye fried pao, which turns out to be super noodle dumplings, is the most authentic one here. The fried pao tastes okay, but there is nothing special about it. The only fun thing is that they don’t order dishes here, only set meals. The beef, mutton and ribs in the set meal are all pretty good. You can go and experience it!
It's very popular, and we came here for the popularity. When we arrived at the second floor at 12:30, we only saw people. If we wanted to get a seat, we had to stand next to the table that was about to finish eating and wait! The two vegetarian noodles we ordered were large enough for two adults and one child. The most popular dish here is the braised pork, which should be braised in one pot. The taste is not as strong as that of Sichuan and a bit dry! ! In the end, there was some chicken left to eat! The noodle soup is really good, and I drank several big bowls! If you want to eat some specialties and old man's head, I suggest you come here in advance! ! !
