“习大大美食指南”

Xi Jinping's taste buds have become so influential that Hong Kong's Apple Daily has compared the president to a walking Michelin guide for China.

习近平的味蕾影响力巨大，以至于香港《苹果日报》（Apple Daily）把他比作移动版“中国米其林美食指南”。

Want to try the pig-blood noodles Xi sampled 20 years ago? A noodle shop in Fuzhou, Fujian, where Xi ate noodles two decades ago has leveraged the president's popularity into long lines.

想要尝一尝20年前主席吃过的肠旺面吗？那是福建福州市的一家面馆，由于习近平20年前的光顾，小店门前如今排起了长龙。

Xi confirmed his love of the dish in 2014, and perhaps made the shop's owners' dreams come true, when he re-visited the place and had another bowl.

习近平在2014年又再次光顾这家面馆，称食物很合胃口，店主如愿以偿地获得了习大大的赞赏。

The owner told a reporter that ever since the news broke out, there's been a significant increase in customers.

店主称，自从这件事获得报道后，客人瞬间增多了。

Items that had previously been sold out at around 11 p.m. were gone by 5 p.m.

以前小吃要卖到晚上11点，现在5点就卖光了。

In 2014, according to Hong Kong-based newspaper Ta Kung Pao, after the small town of Gutian began promoting its "Red Army rice" after Xi had eaten a bowl (the dish is said to resemble an historic communist army staple featuring pumpkins, yams and sweet potatoes), the town reported an 80% growth in tourist visits over the previous year.

据香港《大公报》报道，福建古田县还在2014年推出了习主席吃过的“红军饭”（Red Army rice），据说这是红军的传统主食，里面有南瓜、山药和红薯。小县城的游客数量也比往年增长了80%。
