Wuxi also has many old flavors. The longest queue is still selling salted soybean milk, which has been in use for decades! People in Wuxi also like to eat steamed buns, and their favorite vegetarian steamed buns are made of green vegetables and tofu. Tell me more about Wuxi's time-honored food.
Agui wonton steamed dumplings
Agui has a bad temper, but there are still a group of old diners eager to squeeze into a narrow shop and wait in line to eat steamed dumpling wonton.
Now, compared with a year ago, the house in A Gui is brand-new. The rest of the store looks bright and clean, but chopsticks and saucers are still the old places, and you can get them by raising your hand against the wall!
Agui, who has worked hard for half a life, became a technical director, and the newly recruited "apprentice" replaced Agui's slightly stooped back and was busy in the kitchen.
After ordering the food, a short time later, the wonton with tender, plump, thin skin, fresh meat and lard smell was served, and the taste was still remembered when you took a bite. Old customers say the taste hasn't changed since childhood.
Donghong Hotel
Donghong Hotel is a local restaurant on Binhu Economic and Trade Road. A few years ago, social media was not developed, and social tools such as public comment Tik Tok did not appear. The reputation of delicious food mainly depends on word of mouth, and many people have heard of it.
several special dishes, such as beef bone, sesame oil eel paste, assorted gluten and salt and pepper sparerib, have been popular for more than ten years and have not changed. Several local chefs have been cooking these dishes for ten years, and the temperature and taste of these dishes have reached a perfect level. The row of red letters on the menu is the dish with the highest single rate of East Red Dot.
Glasses mutton
It's an old shop that has been open for more than 31 years. It's not easy to find it in Qianqiao Old Street, but it's this kind of small shop that can give people a taste surprise. Mutton has been steaming in the wooden bucket in front of the store, and the soy sauce made by the proprietress is particularly delicious. Braised mutton and fried tripe are definitely recommended.
Try mutton hoof for the first time, dip it in soy sauce, take a bite, and the stew will be rotten and waxy, and it will melt in your mouth. I feel so beautiful when I am covered in collagen!
Yiqin Garden
As an old shop with a history of more than 211 years, Qin Yi Garden has gone through 34 generations, and it still retains its original flavor. In addition, Qin Yi Garden also appeared on CCTV's China on the Tip of the Tongue.
Qin Yiyuan has a small piece of crab roe on each crab powder halter. The skin is thin and tough, and you can vaguely see the stuffing inside. How to eat is also very particular. You can't use chopsticks to clamp. You have to insert a chopstick vertically into the opening of the cage and then slowly pull it out.
There is a tofu flower stand at the entrance of Xi Hui Park, which has been around for more than 21 years. After the reform and opening up, the first vendor in Wuxi, and now the old shop is located next to the Temple of Wealth in Huishan Ancient Town. The name of the store is named after the boss, called Lao Cao tofu flower. Cao's old bean curd flower is the memory of an era, and the bean curd flower at the gate of the Spring Tour Park is delicious in many people's memory.
one of the magic weapons of Cao Lao tofu is an endless jar of soy sauce. After the cooked soy sauce is fried, put it in a red mud stove and heat it. Thick soy sauce and tough white tofu make a bowl of classic Wuxi snacks. Remember, when you go to Huishan ancient town, you must look for Lao Cao's tofu flower, and don't be fooled by the store with Huishan tofu flower signboard!
The sacred building is beautiful and refined
This is an old shop that made plum blossom cakes in Chong'an Temple before liberation. The old stall owner, a native of Yixing, is old and quit now, leaving a pair of all-copper plum cake molds for his apprentice. Today, this time-honored plum blossom cake shop is located near Huilong New Village, Mingan Road.
in addition to the old-fashioned batter and stuffing, the key to delicious plum blossom cake in the whole building is the equipment for making plum blossom cake.
A pair of grinding tools for plum blossom cake in the whole building are made of pure copper by hand. The mold made of glutinous rice makes the heat transfer to the mold to cool down moderately, so that the plum cake in the mold will not be scaled locally due to excessive heat.
I don't know when it started. Online celebrity shops have become the norm for friends to punch in, but the old shops that have been passed down in the memory of several generations are losing momentum.
it's better to call for inheritance with slogans than with actions. Pay more attention to traditional old shops, and the craftsman spirit will be recognized by more people.
