Eating in Luoyang
Famous Local Food Luoyang Water Banquet also called soup banquet, is a well-known cuisine in China and has a history of more than 1,000 years. The food is noted for its various soups with sour and spicy flavors. The different dishes are served continuously like the flow of water; hence the name "Water Banquet". There are 24 courses in the banquet. The first course named "Luoyang Swallow Dish" is made of turnip shreds, chicken shreds, minded pork and other vegetables simmered in soup. Legend has it that Queen Wu Zetian was full of praise after she tried it. The dish appears almost on every restaurant's menu. It would be a shame to go to Luoyang and miss out on the wonderful dishes it provides. There are large, medium and mini water banquets which can be ordered according to the size of your party. A mini banquet of 6 dishes is enough for a group of 3 persons and costs about 80 yuan. A budget mini banquet can only be served in the main dining halls, which means you have to dine with groups of people sitting around. Famous Local Dishes Carp is arguably the most beloved dish in Luoyang. It is said that in the golden old days of Luoyang, when the capital was swathed in mystery and paved with gold, the fish itself could cost as much as a whole live ox! The dish itself is considered as a great delicacy in these parts, beloved for its tender flesh, nutritional benefits and the stylish design of each dish. The ideal carp dish is designed with subtle skill. The carp, with its head held high above the plate, is masterfully placed, seeming to be leaping over the cabbage "gorge" at the side of the plate, a symbol of competitive spirit. The dish also is known in these parts as "Carp Leaping over the Gorge". Zhangji Roast Chicken was said to be created by a man surnamed Zhang in ancient times. It is popular dishes among the locals and tourists. Famous Local Snacks Tangmian Jiao (Steamed dumplings) are made in the shape of crescent moon. This dish originated in this area and is now customary all over China. Tangmian Jiao are famous for their thin wrappings and jade-like color.
