There are many snacks in Tianjin, but unfortunately, few of them can run out of Tianjin and are hard to eat in other places. Friends who come to Tianjin should never wake up naturally in the morning.

1. pancake fruit

pancake fruit is an essential part of Tianjin people's breakfast, including fried dough sticks and crispy ones. When you arrive in Tianjin, pancake fruit can be eaten with an open belly. Unlike Shandong pancake fruit, the pancake spread out by using large mung beans is flexible, smooth and fragrant, and it can be called the soul of pancake fruit when rolled up. Brush with fried Tianjin sweet noodle sauce, fermented milk, spicy sauce and spicy oil, sesame seeds and chopped green onion, and you will drool when you think about it. Of course, Tianjin people will bring one or two eggs with them when they go to buy them, and anyone who is soft, tender and delicious will have to eat two.

Second, crispy rice dish

It is called "Gaba dish" locally, and "Gaba" actually means "crispy rice". When Tianjin people spread pancakes, they are reluctant to throw them away, so they accumulate them. Gaba food tastes salty and fragrant. The fried mung bean cake is cut into willow strips, soaked in a large pot of marinade, then put into a bowl, with a few spoonfuls of sesame sauce, fermented milk, spicy oil and other small ingredients, and finally sprinkled with a handful of coriander. This is a bowl of Gaba food, which Tianjin people have to eat for 3 days a year.

Third, Erduoyan Fried Cake

Tianjin Fried Cake, also known as Erduoyan Fried Cake, is one of the top ten specialty snacks in Tianjin, and it is also a traditional specialty in Tianjin. Tianjin Fried Cake was founded in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty (19). In the old days, it was called Erduoyan Fried Cake by diners because of its exquisite workmanship and unique style. It was made of glutinous rice as the crust, red beans and white sugar as the stuffing, and fried with incense. The fried cake is oblate in appearance, light golden yellow, and black and red in filling.

Tianjin people love fried cakes, and it doesn't matter whether they are fried cakes with ears. As long as the fried cakes are golden and crisp, the fillings are full and sweet, and they taste crisp outside and waxy inside, even if they are cooled, it can be called a good fried cake shop. When friends from other places arrive in Tianjin, they don't have to punch in the real fried cakes. When they see a fried cake shop lined up by local people, they don't have to think about just waiting in line to buy it, so as to ensure that they don't roll over or step on thunder.

Fourth, cooked pear cake

Tianjin traditional folk snacks. Glutinous rice and rice are ground into powder, steamed in a wooden steamer, and then added with jam. The old flavor is white sugar+black sesame and jujube powder. The cake is loose in taste and not very sweet.

Walking in the street of Tianjin, I suddenly heard the sound of "buzzing". It must be selling "cooked pear cakes", which is a snack from Tianjin to Tianjin.

The pears in the cooked pear cake are not real fruit pears. This "pear" means "cooked pear". It is made by grinding rice into powder residue, adding it into a retort and steaming it in a special steamer nozzle. In less than one minute, the cooked pear cake can be pushed out by steam and coated with sour foam paste, that is, jujube paste, or red bean paste, sugar and so on.
