Due to Yiwu's prosperous economy people from all over China swarm
there all year round. This means they bring their local cuisines
to the city which is great news for anyone looking for something
delicious to eat. There is a fabulous choice awaiting you from
a wide variety of top class restaurants to the more humble snack
stalls. Of course, this does not mean that Yiwu has none of its
own local food for visitors to sample. There is no need to worry;
the city enjoys an advantageous position and a mild climate, which
means Yiwu has several of its own products, some of which have
long been world famous.
Snacks
Ham, jujube (sometimes known
in the West as the Chinese Date) and brown sugar
produced in Yiwu are considered to the three treasures of the
city. In Yiwu, an old saying goes that eating three jujubes every
day will stave off senility in human beings. At the same time,
Yiwu is also noted as the hometown of brown sugar which is richer
in nutrition than white sugar. Finally, don't forget to sample
Yiwu Ham. All these can be bought in the shops of Yiwu.
This is not the end of tasting the delicious food to the full.
Coming to the city's streets and lanes, you must have a try of
Donghe Meat Cake and Yiting Pulled Noodles.
The Donghe Meat Cake is a very thin cake made from half-lean pork.
They originated from Donghe Village and considered to be a good
wife's standard. Highly popular with the locals, the cake and
noodles are very famous in Yiwu, and you are able to sample them
both at roadside stalls as well as in deluxe restaurants. Now,
you will find several cake diners in Huagong Road.
As well as these, other townships in Yiwu City have their own
specialties. For example, the crisp cake made in Fotang Town,
the sesame cake in Suxi Town and the fried cake of Ersanli Town.
