Food Reviews Is the 2024 China Top 10 Food Capital Cities Ranking Reliable?

Mondo Gastronomy Updated on 2024-03-06

Are the selections of Dianping and Meituan-Dianping reliable? Take a look at the latest 2024 list of China's top 10 food capitals and cuisines. You can also compare the differences between the eight traditional cuisines.

1.Guangzhou, Tianjin, and Chengdu are among the top three. Cantonese cuisine is indeed very classic, and the Hong Kong-style brunch tea is very exquisite, with a very unique southern flavor. The spicy and fresh aroma of Chengdu Sichuan cuisine has long spread all over China, and Sichuan restaurants such as "Little Sichuan" and "Sichuan Cuisine People" can often be seen near university towns and residential areas with more rental houses. It is indeed a bit surprising that Tianjin cuisine can be ranked second, "Gaba cuisine" is something I have never heard of, and the name is also very peculiar.

2.Shanghai's Shanghainese cuisine, Xi'an's Shaanxi cuisine, Changsha's Hunan cuisine, and Shenyang's Northeast cuisine ranked 4th to 7th respectively. Shanghai cuisine is not only the flavor of Shanghai, but also represents the cuisine of southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang close to Shanghai. Shaanxi cuisine looks more like a representative of Northwest cuisine, just as Shenyang cuisine represents Northeast cuisine. Among these four, only Hunan cuisine is one of the eight traditional cuisines, but it is only ranked sixth. Perhaps because the material living conditions are getting better and better, Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine may not be as popular as more than 10 years ago.

3.Beijing cuisine, Jinan Shandong cuisine, and Yangzhou Huaiyang cuisine ranked 8th to 10th. The representative dishes of Beijing cuisine look like the dishes that old Beijing loves to eat, and they should all be the Sinicized dishes of Fanbang after the "Hutong" that is different from the "alleys" in the south. According to some netizens, Lu cuisine is the ancestor of Chinese cuisine, because "boiling oil in a pot" started with Lu cuisine first. It is difficult to say whether this is based on evidence, but it does show that Shandong cuisine has a long history and is broad and profound. Yangzhou's Huaiyang cuisine seems to be home-cooked dishes that "fly into the homes of ordinary people", perhaps because it is too common and there are no classic specialties to rank 10th.

4.It's unclear whether Volkswagen and Meituan-Dianping's list of the top 10 food capitals is scientific and convincing enough, but the list does list most of the most well-known cities with specialty cuisines across China. Only Tianjin felt a little surprised, and the ranking was still so high.

5.The eight traditional cuisines include Shandong cuisine, Suzhou cuisine (Huaiyang cuisine), Hui cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and Cantonese cuisine. Looking at the list of this city, Hui cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, and Fujian cuisine do not have their representative cities. The proportion of Hui restaurants in Hefei should be smaller than that of Huangshan, but the permanent population of Huangshan has little influence. Zhejiang cuisine in Hangzhou cuisine, Ningbo cuisine, Wenzhou cuisine, Jinhua cuisine all have their own characteristics and do not give in to each other, these are also the dishes of the four metropolitan areas of Zhejiang. Fujian cuisine is also in a similar situation, the flavors of Fujian's southeast and northwest are very different, and in general, from an external point of view, it does not have so much influence.
