Just because of Qin Zian's recommendation, this young couple traveled all the way to Cangzhou to check it out.
If these exotic delicacies had something special about them, that would be one thing, but the key point is that A-Zhan felt from the bottom of his heart that these so-called creative dishes were not worthy of their long journey.
But after hearing the conversation between the young couple, A-Zhan couldn't help but think of what he looked like when he was young.
Back then, I was also full of curiosity about everything unknown and dared to try all sorts of things.
But looking back now, A-Zhan would realize that those attempts he made in his youth...
The vast majority of these efforts are futile and laughable.
Just like this young couple traveling all the way to Cangzhou to taste these bizarre dishes, it's simply incomprehensible.
Especially as he got older, Ajax began to look at issues more rationally.
While these "creative dishes" have attracted a large number of tourists, it remains to be seen whether they truly represent Cangzhou's culinary culture and whether they can win the recognition and love of a wider range of diners...
Undoubtedly, Ajahn thinks the answer is no, and should be marked with a big X.
These dishes that overly pursue novelty and creativity may obscure the true nature of Cangzhou's culinary culture and even lead to misunderstandings about Cangzhou cuisine.
Rather than those dire situations, what A-Zhan, as a local of Cangzhou, would prefer to see is that Cangzhou cuisine can innovate appropriately while preserving its traditional essence.
In this way, Cangzhou's culinary culture is revitalized and given new life and vitality in its inheritance.
But now it seems that the reality is completely contrary to my ideal situation.
Azhan took a deep breath, feeling that he was not just an observer, but a responsible travel blogger, delving into the essence of this food culture revolution.
He realized that simple criticism or praise was too one-sided, and what society needed now was understanding and balance.
Times are changing, and people's tastes and needs are changing as well.
Those seemingly absurd "creative dishes" may be a new interpretation and attempt at traditional food culture in this era.
Therefore, A-Zhan decided... to put aside his prejudices and experience it for himself.
So, A-Zhan called over the waiter and ordered several more of the most controversial "creative dishes," including the ridiculous strawberry tofu pudding and the legendary hot pot chicken Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
When these colorful and uniquely shaped dishes were placed in front of him, he felt an unprecedented visual impact.
Initially, he was just trying to complete a task, intending to record these "incongruous" dishes and then criticize them.
However, when the first bite of strawberry tofu pudding slid down his throat, he was stunned.
The sweet and sour flavors were surprisingly harmonious, and the freshness of the strawberries added a touch of brightness to the delicate tofu pudding.
It retains the smooth texture of traditional tofu pudding while offering a completely new taste experience.
Next, the hot pot chicken Manchu Han Imperial Feast opened his eyes even more, with its rich combination of ingredients and unique seasoning methods.
He cautiously tasted the fried chicken tiger in the hot pot. The outer skin was crispy, and the chicken inside was tender and juicy. Paired with the unique sauce, it was surprisingly delicious.
Next, he tried hot pot chicken with grilled cold noodles. The chewy texture of the cold noodles and the rich flavor of the hot pot chicken blended perfectly, creating a completely new taste experience.
It can be said that every creative hot pot chicken dish is...
It retains the essence of Cangzhou hot pot chicken while incorporating the luxurious feel of a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, making every bite an ultimate tantalizing experience for the taste buds.
Even the most bizarre hot pot chicken popsicles and hot pot chicken cakes, according to A-Zhan, have a unique flavor and are simply delicious to the point of being unbearable.
As Azhan ate, he pondered and began to understand why these "creative dishes" were receiving so much attention.
Because they are not only a subversion of tradition, but also an innovation and enrichment of food culture.
While they may not suit everyone's taste, they have certainly sparked interest and curiosity in Cangzhou and its culinary culture among more people.
More importantly...
It's not bad to eat!!!
After tasting all the dishes, Azhan already had his answer.
Azhan's brow gradually relaxed, and he began to realize that these so-called "creative dishes" were not a desecration of traditional cuisine, but rather an innovative attempt to embrace tradition.
They not only attracted attention from the outside world, drawing more people to Cangzhou, but also inspired locals to rethink and explore food culture.
While the Cangzhou Culture and Tourism Bureau's attempt has sparked some controversy, it has indeed brought new vitality and opportunities to Cangzhou's food culture.
Only now did Azar truly understand...
Why has 'Cangzhou Cultural Tourism Creative Cuisine' become so popular online and gained increasing support from locals in Cangzhou?
The reason lies in this.
Realizing this, Azan put down his phone and decided to change his mind.
He picked up his chopsticks again and savored the dishes once more, his heart filled with an unprecedented passion.
He thought that this might be exactly the effect that the Cangzhou Culture and Tourism Bureau wanted to achieve—to revitalize tradition through innovation and let more people understand and fall in love with the city.
So, A-Zhan abandoned his original plan and decided to release a brand new video, which was no longer a critique of "Cangzhou Cultural Tourism Creative Cuisine," but rather a praise and promotion of it.
He wants to use his lens to show the world a Cangzhou that is both traditional and modern, both simple and innovative.
And so, with a camera in hand, A-Zhan moved among the various innovative restaurants in Cangzhou, beginning to explore and unravel the secrets behind 'Cangzhou Cultural Tourism Creative Cuisine'.
Thanks to Cangzhou's strong promotion of 'creative cuisine', as long as a restaurant is willing to join and meets the restaurant's standards and qualifications...
Then they would be able to obtain the secret recipe for "Cangzhou Cultural Tourism Creative Cuisine" and produce and sell it.
It was for this reason that A-Zhan explored several "Cangzhou Cultural Tourism Creative Cuisine" restaurants and gained a deeper understanding of them.
