It seems like that from an unknown summer in an unknown year, this expensive vegetable, asparagus, emerged on the vegetable markets. From then, asparagus becomes indispensable when it is in season.

Asparagus and meat, perfect match

Why we call asparagus the real man's cuisine? To answer this question, we should know some history knowledge about ancient Rome and Caesar.

The making of asparagus is easy

In ancient Rome, being special about the flavor of food could be seen as lack of the man spirit. The rough salted fish and very acid olive were seen as real men's foods. History book has recorded one time when Caesar ate asparagus. The asparagus was not made in common way. However, the asparagus was added with myrrh instead of olive oil. All the friends of Caesar didn’t eat this dish and only Caesar ate this entire dish usually. Maybe only the people who are not specific about food can become heroes at last.

Asparagus was also an important medical plant in ancient Rome. Health preserving was very popular at that time. In addition, asparagus would be boiled with wine, beet and other plants together. We cannot imagine the real taste of this food nowadays.

Due to the shape of the asparagus, it is also seen as the medicine to treat the infertility. You just imagine the reason. ^^

Run Mad after Sweets from Hainan Province

Ching Poo Luong

In the area of Beijing, sweets or desserts are eaten before the dinner. However, in the area of Guangdong, desserts are often eaten after the dinner, which can also be used as midnight snack. By contrast, it is completely different in Hainan province. Sweets are never treated as the supporting role in Hainan province such as nourish cool (or named Ching Poo Luong) and Chinese fevervine herb. Let us experience the unique charm and difference of desserts in Hainan.

It is not an easy thing to talk about the nourish cool in Hainan province. People would argue fiercely when regarding whose nourish cool is better. The reason is that this kind of dessert is so popular in Hainan province. It is said that there was this kind of nourish cool in 1920s, which was very cheap in that time.

There is also nourish cool in Guangdong and Guangxi provinces, but the nourish cool is better just in the aspect of raw materials. The nourish cool in the above two provinces is only made from several materials. However, the nourish cool in Hainan needs at least ten kinds of materials and some kinds of nourish cool need more than twenty kinds of materials.

The Happiness in Summer: Eating for Sweating

A few days later, we would get into the hottest time of the year. In northern area of China, people always say that we should eat dumpling during this time. It seems that people should eat dumplings at every important solar term. Except the need of the traditional customs, the dumpling may have its important significance in the aspect of the physiology, sweating for example.

In summer, the traditional Chinese medicine always tells the people that they should prevent sweating heavily. However, in the city with so many air-conditioners, people still need to sweet in order to keep health. Therefore, it is reasonable to eat dumpling, noodle and some hot foods in the hottest time of the year.

You may want to know why people still eat those hot foods in the hot summer days. The reason is for dehumidification. In some districts of China, the local people would see the sweating as a cool experience.

Just like the people in northern of China eating dumpling in the summer, the people in southern area of China often like to eat hot pepper. In addition, the reason is also dehumidification. The so-called humidity may be just the sweat. So sometimes we eat just for sweating.

The Noodles in Xi'an

According to incompletely figures, there are more than 50 kinds of noodles in Shaanxi province. In addition, Shaanxi people like eating noodle. There are more noodle restaurants on the Xi'an streets than other restaurants, the provincial city of Shaanxi province.

With the long history and rich culture of Xi'an, every kind of noodle is endowed with deep culture. Some kinds of noodles may have a history as long as thousands of years.

Every kind of noodle has its own features, just like the spinach noodle with stewed meat. When making the dough, people would add the spinach leaf into the flour. In addition, the noodle would look green after cooked. This kind of noodle contains the vitamin and leaf green that other noodles don’t contain.

When you enjoy the countless number of noodles in Xi'an, you also can see the process of making noodles. I assure you that you would like it. It is very interesting and just like art, just like the making process of the noodle spilled with boiling oil. The most fun part of making this kind of noodle is the last step. When the noodle is prepared and the seasonings are added, the chef would pour a large spoon of boiling oil on the surface of the noodle. Then the noodle is finished, very fun to see the process.

Traditional Xi'an Food: Chinese Hamburger

When I try to translate the name of a traditional Chinese food into its English name, I would feel relaxed if there is similar food in foreign countries. I just need to add the word Chinese in front of the food's English name, just like Chinese hamburger. If translated literally, Chinese hamburger is marinated meat in baked bun.

When I plan to introduce Chinese hamburger, I feel fortunate that there is hamburger in foreign countries that is similar to this traditional Chinese food. I don’t have to rack my brains to give it a simple and suitable name.

You can get what Chinese hamburger is just from its picture. It is very easy to make this food. People from foreign countries may think that it is just the simplified edition of the hamburger.

There are two features about Chinese hamburger. One is that the outside baked bun is so crispy. However, the meat in the middle of the bun is soooo soft and easy to chew. In order to know what it really tastes like, you may need to eat one by yourself.

I often see foreign people eating the Chinese hamburger around my living places. Therefore, there may be little difference between hamburger and traditional Chinese hamburger. Next time you come to China, you should taste this Chinese hamburger.

Traditional Xi'an Food: Sour Soup Dumpling

We all know that dumpling is very popular in China. In addition, there are many kinds of dumplings in China; the ways of making and eating dumplings are various. Here I would like to introduce a kind of traditional Xi'an dumpling: sour soup dumpling.




There are no special differences between sour soup dumpling and other dumpling. The main feature of the sour soup dumpling lies in its sour soup. The sour soup is made from 13 kinds of materials.

This traditional flavor snack has a long history of more than one thousand years. In addition, the filling of the sour soup dumpling is often the mutton. When eating the dumpling, it will be put into the special-made soup: sour soup.

The special sour soup contains tens of materials such as dried small shrimps, processed sesame, parsley, Chinese chive powder, butter, balsam, chicken fat, sweetened vinegar, soy sauce and so on.

Xi'an spectacle: Guokwei

You may never imagine how large a cake can be. Here I will introduce one spectacle in Xi'an: Guokwei. You may never hear of Guokwei. It is a traditional Xi'an wheaten food with large and round size. How large it is? You can get it from the below imagine.


Guokwei is one spectacle of Shaanxi Eight Spectacles. People often say that it likes large and thick pot cover. It is famous for its aridness, crisp, white and spicy.


The most obvious feature is its large shape. The inside of Guokwei is soft and the outside is very crisp.

The popularity of Guokwei can be traced back to Tang dynasty, about more than 1200 years ago. In tang dynasty, a large number of farmers were gathered to build the mausoleum of the emperors. Because the projects were large and there were a large number of farmers, the food issue became a difficult problem. Therefore, the large Guokwei was invented. On the other side, the dry Guokwei is easy to kept and can supply a large number of people.

Nowadays, the Guokwei is still popular in Xi'an areas. In addition, the travelers from other places like to taste this so large Guokwei. You should not miss it next time you come to Xi'an.

Xi'an Oil Crisp Cake with Thousand Layers

Xi'an is well known for its long history and rich culture around the world. You not only can view famous historic sites such as the Terracotta Army in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, but also you can enjoy the delicious traditional Chinese foods.

As a Chinese young man who likes to learn English, every time I write about the traditional Chinese food, I find it is especially difficult to give the food a proper English name, which is very frustrating. In addition, I think most of the translators have the same experience and feeling, just like you can't truly understand Shakespeare if you don’t learn English. Like the food below:


What would you like to call it? Translated literally, it can be called as oil crisp cake with thousand layers. In fact, this kind of cake doesn’t have thousand layers. This is one difference. We Chinese people like to use the words thousand and ten thousand to express the meaning of so many. In the name of the Chinese foods, we like to use adjective words, especially some featured side dishes.

In addition, Chinese people like to add the stories on the foods. The oil crisp cake with thousand layers also has its own origin in the Tang dynasty about more than one thousand years ago.

Traditional Chinese Foods in the Ancient City Xi'an

Xi'an is one of the world's Four Civilized Ancient Capitals. In the long history, Xi'an has developed a rich food culture. Xi'an is located in the borders of different nations. Therefore, the foods in Xi'an have different nations' flavors.



One of the most famous foods in Xi'an is the soaking steamed bread with mutton. The high quality mutton or beef is boiled with seasonings such as Chinese red pepper, fennel, Chinese cinnamon and so on. After the meat is cooked, the soup should be prepared for other uses. Then the steamed bread is cut into blocks and put them into the soup. Then add mutton or beef and other seasonings. Now the soaking steamed bread is okay. You should not miss this soaking bread next time you go to Xi'an.



In Xi'an there is a kind of wine that is beneficial to all ages called Huanggui dense wine. This kind of wine can be tracked to Tang Dynasty about more than 1100 years ago. In addition, Huanggui dense wine has many health caring functions such as quenching thirst, invigorating blood circulation, strengthening the spleen, stimulating the appetite and moisturizing the lung.

As a Chinese who likes to learn English, I must admit that the name of Chinese dishes is very poetic. Even the most common dish can own the most poetic name.

No matter what names it has, just enjoy it now.
