Wuxi Xiaolongbao Wuxi people used to call Xiaolongbao "Xiaolongbao". The most famous snack in Wuxi is steamed buns. The difference between Wuxi steamed buns is that in addition to the sweetness of the meat stuffing, soy sauce is added, so the stuffing looks like soy sauce and the skin is fermented. When crabs come into the market in autumn, cooked crab roe will be added to the stuffing to make a mouth-watering "crab powder cage". Wang is very famous, and Shengyuan is deeply respected by Wuxi people. In addition, I remember that the crab powder cage in Qinyuan was China on the tip of the tongue, so I might as well try it.

Sauce-flavored pork ribs Wuxi pork ribs, traditionally called "Wuxi Meat Bone", are made of only seven or eight kilograms of pork ribs on a pig, with soy sauce, soft candy, yellow wine, onion, ginger, fennel, clove and cinnamon, and are cooked for two hours.

Pushing wonton by hand is also unique to Wuxi. The skin of wonton is soft and elastic. Unlike Kaiyang wonton, Kaiyang wonton usually eats soup. Hand-pushed wonton is mostly dry mixed.
