I always feel that autumn comes in silence, and after a rain, I gradually have a chill in the morning and evening, only to retreat from the summer heat and plunge into the tenderness of clear autumn.
After 2500 years of spring and autumn, the ancient city of Suzhou, sweet-scented osmanthus began to fall in autumn, and the city was full of fragrance, red maple and yellow leaves, which set off pavilions and pavilions, as if dreaming of the old Gusu City.
Suzhou in autumn is Pingjiang Road with a small bridge and flowing water, a tiger hill with ginkgo falling everywhere, a humble administrator's garden with fallen leaves spreading for thousands of years, and a Jinji lake where you can listen to the wind quietly.
Suzhou in autumn is a fat and sweet hairy crab with petals of chrysanthemum and yellow wine, a sugar-fried chestnut with sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, the freshest Taihu Lake with three whites and the most juicy fresh meat moon cake.
Gusu City, which began to smell sweet-scented osmanthus in September, is still a little hot in late summer and a little warm in early autumn.
With the warmth of chicken's head rice syrup, but also with the refreshing Soviet-style mung bean soup; With the explosive eel noodles and the fresh and sweet crab noodles.
As a pioneer in paying attention to seasonal aesthetics, Suzhou people will interpret it to the extreme from time to time every season.
What's the smell of autumn? I think Suzhou can tell you the answer.
Just for this autumn, I have to come.
/hairy crabs/
It is said that the autumn wind makes the crab's feet itch. As soon as autumn comes, everyone begins to expect more food on the table.
In September, the female crab roe is plump, and in October, the male crab is oily and fleshy. However, whether it is a female crab or a male crab, in the eyes of Suzhou people, what can be eaten in the season is a good crab.
At this time of year, more and more people drive to Yangcheng Lake. For old Suzhou, this is an essential sense of ceremony in autumn.
/chicken head rice/
How much do Suzhou people love chicken head rice before they think of putting chicken head rice and coffee together?
The chicken's head rice, which is three points sweet and seven points soft and waxy, can't stop Suzhou people's love for it, although the picking process is complicated and the price of manual shelling is slightly higher.
Suzhou people's autumn begins with this bowl of chicken's head rice syrup.
/Fresh meat moon cake/
As soon as autumn comes, we begin to look forward to it, and there are fresh meat moon cakes.
Even though moon cakes are surging in the rivers and lakes, in Suzhou people's hearts, only fresh meat moon cakes are Bai Yueguang forever.
Fresh-meat moon cakes just out of the pot have crispy skin on the outer layer with burnt smell, while the crispy skin on the inner layer permeates the juice of fresh meat.
The meat stuffing is eight points thinner and two points fatter. When the gravy is bitten open, it begins to flow between the lips and teeth. No Suzhou person can refuse this wonderful feeling.
Shop recommendation: Changfa cake, Xucheng fresh meat moon cake, dried raw materials.
A bowl of noodles hides the freshness of autumn.
I have always felt that Jiangnan people eat noodles as much as the north.
The difference is that Jiangnan people make noodles more finely and meticulously, and have higher seasonal requirements for ingredients, especially in Jiangnan people and Suzhou.
Weijiao noodles
As a famous noodle in Suzhou, the soup base is clear, fresh and sweet, and the noodles are slightly raw. Coupled with seasonal and rich toppings, this bowl of seemingly Austrian noodles is the Bai Yueguang in the eyes of Suzhou people.
The Weijiao noodle restaurant hides the most authentic flavor of Gusu.
The signature of their family is fried eel and shrimp noodles, which are rich in color and delicious. The fried eel segments are fat and mellow, and the shrimp is crystal clear and fresh.
But I'm not good at eel, and I prefer his braised pork noodles. The large braised pork is fat but not greasy, and the fat meat is soft and tender, and the lean meat is crisp and smooth. A bowl is simply enough!

Tongdexing boutique noodles
I don't know if you still have any impression of Fengzhen meaty noodles in tip 2.
When I first saw this bowl of noodles, I was really greedy for many years. I just wanted to grow up quickly and Suzhou unlocked the taste!
It is said that Su-style noodles, red noodle soup in cold weather and white soup in hot weather.
Now this season, come to a bowl of seemingly ordinary white noodle soup, with chives floating on the delicious and mellow soup base, which looks very refreshing.
Put a piece of chilled meat on it, more points will make you fat, and less points will make you firewood. This is just the right meat with wine, let alone more!

Yuxingji
Suzhou people eat food and pay attention to the season, and we can get a glimpse of it from a bowl of three shrimp noodles. Every early summer, countless gourmets flock to Suzhou, just to limit the delicacy.
Three shrimp noodles consisting of shrimp, shrimp brain and shrimp, the shrimp meat is sweet and palatable, and the shrimp seed shrimp brain is topped with the fragrant, elegant and fresh three shrimps, which are full of beautiful scenery in Jiangnan water town.
After entering Suzhou in the early autumn, the three shrimp noodles are no longer in season, and the scenery is flowing, and the crab noodles arrive as scheduled. Shrimp is crystal clear, noodles are soaked with the golden luster of crab yellow, and each one is full of the beauty of golden grease and butter.
After a while, the butter will be on the line, and the delicious food in Suzhou is really not greasy every season!

Suzhou people are meticulous about food, and they have made feelings about mung bean soup.
Half a cup of cool and sweet mint water, plus rich ingredients like glutinous rice: soft boiled mung beans, steamed glutinous rice, sweet winter melon candy and candied dates, raisins and red and green silk from childhood memories. ...
This is full of solid mung bean soup, which is incomparable to being relaxed and free.

Pan Yu Lin Tang Zhou tan
Pan Yulin's sugar porridge, which grew up with several generations of Suzhou people, has long been a well-known food base in this area, although it is only a small sugar porridge stall.
Although his reputation is abroad, it does not affect his tunnel. Many local people in the team buy a few copies and take them back.
There are not many kinds in their family, only sugar porridge, red bean dumplings and wine dumplings.
When autumn comes, sweet-scented osmanthus will be added to the dumplings. This sweet-scented osmanthus and red bean paste dumplings not only have the softness and sweetness of red beans, but also have the delicate Q-bomb of glutinous rice dumplings. All kinds of tastes collide on the tip of the tongue, as if falling into a sweet whirlpool.

Dongwu Sujinji mung bean soup
In Suzhou, where the summer heat has not completely dissipated, people are still addicted to the happiness of mung bean soup.
The coolness of mint, the sweet taste of red and green silk, winter melon candy and the just right taste of glutinous rice … It seems that eating a spoonful in the hot afternoon can blow away all the boredom that hangs over you.
But this season, there is another delicious food that is worth looking forward to every year.
Only in this season can you eat the chicken's head rice syrup, which is slightly sweet but not greasy. The chicken's head rice has a different fragrance when chewed. This is a rare delicacy, so you have to try it quickly.

Mingyuelou gaotuan branch
When it comes to desserts in Suzhou, there must be all kinds of soft and glutinous cakes.
Exquisite and exquisite green balls, red bean lard cakes with bright colors and sticky entrance, pine balls with pine flower fragrance and sweet and delicate bean paste ... The season in Jiangnan is beautiful, all in these lovely glutinous rice balls.
While the season has not passed, you can still taste the fried meat dumplings with fresh eyebrows.
Palm-sized meatballs are covered with diced pork, shrimps and shredded bamboo shoots. ...
When you buy it, you will pour a spoonful of sauce on the opening. This soul sauce with a little sweetness hangs out the freshness, and it also makes the whole dumpling look shiny and attractive, and it will be fresh in one bite!

Jiangnan crab shell yellow
Crab shell yellow, which looks a bit like sesame seed cake, is called "crab shell yellow" because the skin is yellow after baking and looks like a cooked crab shell.
"I didn't see the cake maker smell the fragrance first, and the pastry came down one after another." Crab shell yellow is Suzhou people's favorite snack, and this time-honored shop is the most authentic crab shell yellow shop in Suzhou.
There are only three flavors, shredded radish, scallion oil and sesame. The freshly baked crab shell has a strong yellow and strange fragrance. Bite a piece and it is crisp and crisp, peeling off layer by layer. I like sesame sugar best, and the invagination is finely chopped black sesame and white sugar, which is sweet but not greasy and full of fragrance.

Gusu snacks can be salty and sweet.
Xin Zhenyuan Suzhou style shrimp fried-dumpling
Although Shanghai is famous for its fried dough, in fact, as the birthplace of fried steamed bread, Soviet-style fried dough is not inferior.
Suzhou people have eaten raw fried bread for hundreds of years, and a guest of raw fried steamed bread with a bowl of small wonton can even replace the position of Su-style noodles in Suzhou people's hearts.
The reason why so many people like to eat raw fried Xin Zhenyuan is because it is really impeccable.
The skin is golden and crisp, the stuffing is full of soup, the skin is strong, the sesame seeds are fragrant, the meat is fresh, and the tastes are intertwined. With a sweet-scented osmanthus bean paste, this soft and sweet combination is Suzhou.
Address: No.2 Shantang Street
Xiangxin food store
I prefer Xiangxin with a bad old foundation in Suzhou to Lili spicy feet.
Mothers who come to feed with their children order the old three familiar ones: braised chicken feet, sweet-scented osmanthus red bean dumplings and curry chicken rolls. This kind of old shop, which grew up eating by itself, has a different kind of intimacy when it comes to eating with children.
Xiangxin's most classic is braised chicken feet.
The chicken feet with rich and fragrant sauce have been stewed very soft and rotten. With a gentle sip, the flesh and blood can be separated, and even the bones are crisp and rotten, but I think it would be perfect if the toes of chicken jio could be cut off.

Le Hui wonton store
Although everyone in Suzhou thinks that the wonton restaurant downstairs is the best, there are still some wonton restaurants that always need young people who come a hundred miles to punch in and old Suzhou who are familiar with it. Le Hui is such a wonton restaurant.
The skin of bubble wonton is very thin, and the powdery meat stuffing inside is also exposed, and the skin is smooth and fresh.
Many people eat bubble wonton for the first time, always complaining that the meat stuffing here is not as generous as Lanzhou Lamian Noodles. In fact, bubble wonton focuses on drinking soup, and the soup base boiled with bone soup is clear but not turbid, which is very delicious. This kind of bubble wonton is the familiar taste of Suzhou people.
Besides wonton, their fresh meat dumplings are also worth a try. Bite open the soft glutinous rice skin, delicious gravy flows directly into your mouth, and the meat stuffing is slightly sweet. Suzhou people are really good at making glutinous rice balls!

Wudeju
This alley mouth food store sells boiled chicken in summer and autumn and lion's head in winter and spring, which perfectly soothes Suzhou people's stomachs.
Their family's white-cut chicken, whose skin is Q and elastic, with blood in the skin and frozen bones, is served with shrimp seed soy sauce made by the store. The tender chicken is stimulated by soy sauce to make people feel kind and familiar. It is no wonder that old Suzhou people are also willing to queue up to go home with delicious food.

Subang cuisine that is not eaten from time to time.
Eating is a particular
Pearl restaurant
Suzhou people pay attention to the freshness, which permeates three meals a day. They don't eat from time to time, and they pay attention to the delicacy and delicacy of food, which is light and sweet, which can be described as high and low.
This Subang cuisine restaurant, which has been passed down from mouth to mouth, is a delicious taste hidden in the corners and a daily canteen full of fireworks.
It is the season to eat chicken head rice, and the Pearl Hotel also serves seasonal dishes: fried shrimp with chicken head rice and sweet-scented osmanthus-rich chicken head rice syrup.
Chicken's head rice with natural flavor, whether it is combined with the sweet smell of osmanthus or the refreshing shrimp, has a very beautiful taste in late summer.
In addition to this, Sweet and Sour Mandarin Fish, fragrant eel paste, mussel cauliflower, sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus root in Pearl Hotel are all the most authentic Soviet-style flavors worth trying.

Huachi 88 Chinese restaurant
As the only black pearl diamond in Suzhou, every time someone in the circle of friends goes to Suzhou, you can see the positioning of the restaurant.
Su-style cold dishes with fairy flavor, drunken shrimp with full aroma, sweet sweet osmanthus lotus root with soft waxy taste, and jellyfish head with crisp taste. ...
Ordinary ingredients have different combinations, but there is a wonderful aesthetic feeling, and the exquisite ceremony is full, which is worthy of being Hyatt.
There are many delicious dishes, and the roast duck with fruit and wood is a must, but what I want to say is this simple lotus pond stir-fry and chicken head rice asparagus mushroom.
Lotus root, water chestnut, green beans and chicken's head rice are all seasonal vegetables. When they are combined together, they have both the aesthetic feeling of color and the seasonal feeling of late summer and early autumn. They are fresh, crisp and sweet, and a plate of stir fry reveals that the black pearl diamond is well deserved.

Xinjufeng cookshop
Founded in the last century 1904, Xinjufeng Restaurant has a history of 1 16 years, and the duck with a single pot mother oil tanker has become a housekeeping dish in the store, conquering the picky tongues of Suzhou city gourmets.
Adding Sichuan winter vegetables, chives, shredded pork and other ingredients to the duck's belly, and switching to Suzhou's famous mother oil (high-quality soy sauce baked in the dog days to autumn) for seasoning, this "mother tanker duck" can only be made by Suzhou people who pay attention to delicacy and elegance in eating.
Now the new Jufeng pays more attention to "freshness".
Bibimbap is beautiful with crab powder tofu, stir-fried shrimp with delicious original juice, soft and delicious cherry juice meat, fresh and tender fried fish fillets with elastic teeth, and oily eel shreds with full meat ... Every time you go to Suzhou, you have to bring 128G stomach!
Come to Suzhou for two days at the beginning of autumn.
The warmth of Suzhou, the exquisiteness of Suzhou, and the Millennium charm of Gusu City are all deeply remembered.
