This is the only place in Wuhan to sample authentic Brazilian barbecue. More than twenty kinds of barbecued treats prepared by Brazilian chefs along with 40 types of Brazilian food and sweets are available. The ambiance here is friendly and peaceful enough with graceful waitresses.

Re Gan Mian is reputed to be one of the five most popular types of noodles in China and the preferred breakfast choice by residents of Wuhan. When in Wuhan, be sure to try a bowl of the Re Gan Mian for just 1 Yuan. The noodles are truly delicious.

 

Dozens of street vendors and small restaurants all over the city sell Re Gan Mian.  Be careful to avoid unsanitary vendors.  The Cai Lin Ji noodle restaurant located at Zhongshan Dadao Street (汉口中山大道) in Hankou is regarded as the best location to eat Re Gan Mian.

 

The three steamed dishes refer to steamed fish, pork, and meat or shrimp balls. Mianyang (currently called Xiantao City in Hubei Province) natives have maintained the traditional method of preparing steamed dishes for centuries.  The difference is that now modern chefs have tailored the ingredients, cooking methods, and techniques to suit the palette of a wider range of people, not only the Mianyang locals.

Steamed Wuchang Fish is a typical dish in Wuhan. This freshwater fish, when steamed together with mushrooms, bamboo shoots and chicken soup, maintains both the original fresh taste of the fish and the nutrients.  Actually, nowadays the so-called "Wuchang Fish" is not taken from Wuchang Lake, but is actually fished from the waters in another county in Wuhan’s suburbs.

This two-story restaurant’s menu consists of mainly breads, pastas, wild greens, mushrooms, and fish. Specialties include dishes served in bamboo stalks and hollowed-out melons and squashes. For a vegetarian starter, try the sautéed baby turnip greens with dried red peppers (jian jiao luo bo ye, 尖椒萝卜叶); the dish is quite spicy, but it is too tasty not to try. Wuhan's rice bread (mian wo, 面窝) provides an interesting alternative to rice. It looks and tastes somewhat like a bagel chip with the flavor provided by black sesame seeds and onion. Usually eaten for breakfast, this bite-size version is a perfect accompaniment to a meal.

 

A few standouts must be tried: Shui guo xiang fan (水果香饭) is sticky rice with pieces of watermelon, pineapple, and green melon served in a melon shell. Xiao mi zhu tong pai gu (小米竹桶排骨), a Hubei province specialty, is composed of spareribs and millet which is steamed and then served together in a halved bamboo stalk. Last, but not least is "Five Treasures in a Golden Squash" (jin gua kou wu bao, 金花扣五宝), a delicate sweet soup of lotus seeds, dates, peanuts, and pumpkin served in a small pumpkin.

 

This vegetarian restaurant prepares zhai cai (斋菜, Buddhist cuisine) in the traditional style of the temple, specializing in faux meat, fish, and fowl dishes. One delicious appetizer is wu xiang niu rou (五香牛肉, faux beef with blended spices). Made from dou fu pi (豆腐皮), the most nutritious layer, this dish is served with hot sesame oil and soy sauce. Another dou fu pi main dish is hong shao fu zhu (红烧腐竹), which are braised dou fu pi rolls with bamboo shoots and green pepper. Be sure to try two more dishes that make no attempt to look like anything other than what they are. One is quan jia fu (全家福), which is made of several kinds of mushrooms sautéed with dates. The other is you mai cai (油麦菜), which is a dark-green leafy vegetable similar to spinach. Both dishes are delicate and full of natural flavor.

 

Over twenty kinds of pizza and many variations of Western style salads, soups, sweets, drinks and beer are available at the buffet at Everyday Pizza. The restaurant has a cool ambiance, polite staff, and expensive albeit quality food. The restaurant is often quite crowded, so sometimes you may have to wait for a table. Dont worry though as the restaurant is fantastic!
