speaking of cakes and snacks. Tianjin people have the right to speak. Tianjin belongs to the north, and naturally loves pasta. Similarly, Tianjin people have extraordinary enthusiasm for snacks and cakes. Just like Master Bao of online celebrity pastry shop in Tianjin, there is a long queue every day.
Yesterday, Tiptop 3 broadcasted about Tianjin cakes. Xianghe bobo shop. The imperial concubine cake and Saqima in it belong to the category of court cakes. So which is the most famous court pastry in Tianjin?
I think Gui Shunzhai is the best pastry shop in Tianjin. As early as 1924, Liu Zhen, a native of Tongxian County, Beijing, came to Lu Zhuangzi in Tianjin and opened a halal pastry shop specializing in sweets. The name is Gui Shunzhai. Among them, honey twist, Saqima, Paicha and other court cakes became the characteristics at that time! Many celebrities, such as Ma Sanli, our Tianjin crosstalk master, and Ma Lianliang, a Beijing opera master, are loyal fans of Gui Shunzhai!
However, it is said that Guishunzhai is the most grounded, and it is also said that it is eight pieces that are most loved by Tianjin people! In Tianjin, every festival, even weddings and funerals, you have to buy eight pieces of Gui Shunzhai. In Tianjin, cakes are divided into eight sizes. In fact, eight pieces are based on Beijing-made cakes! There are eight different fillings, such as hawthorn, rose, red bean paste, jujube paste and sugar. Of the eight pieces, the most distinctive one in Tianjin is white leather! On the outside, it looks like a bland white snack, but the content is very different. Inherited the atmosphere of court cakes!
Finally, I won't advertise Gui Shunzhai's address, because it's too famous! Think that a pastry shop can be bigger and stronger, and it can be said that it is definitely guaranteed in quality!
Just some time ago, I have been paying attention to the traditional cakes in China, and I have also known a brand. Let me share it with you today.
This brand is Tianjin Xianghe Bobopu, and it was also featured in Tongue Tip 3 not long ago. It has been passed down to the fourth generation, and it began to be sold online in 215. It was only in Tianjin before, and it is said that it is also very popular and in short supply.
Speaking of "Bobo Shop", at first glance, it's really a little uncomfortable, but the name just shows that it is inherited. Going back, if you don't learn it from a traditional court pastry shop, you are not qualified to be called a cake shop.
In recent years, the traditional dim sum in China has been criticized as too much oil and sugar, too sweet and greasy to eat, and unhealthy. So many traditional snacks have never been popular, let alone compared with the so-called online celebrity snacks now.
Xianghe's cake was covered with "The Tip of the Tongue", which is still the present online celebrity store.
Xianghe has done a good job in this respect. In terms of formula, in addition to adhering to the old formula, it has also been improved according to the current customer demand. His family's snacks have been bought online several times, and the family can basically eat them. Moreover, I feel that the materials used are still relatively real. For example, the stuffing in the jujube paste roll and plum blossom crisp really feels like jujube paste and fruit paste with a touch of bitterness, rather than the stuffing with too many other accessories. Pine nut milk crisp, crisp but not greasy, milk flavor is very strong, so that young people now feel very fond of it.
Xianghe not only made the existing recipes and varieties, but also tried hard to reproduce the recipes of some court cakes. I have made a wine cake before, and it is said that it belongs to the imperial kitchen. But that wine cake may not be made later because of its high cost.
and Xianghe's online marketing is very successful. Several classic varieties of his family have stories, such as pine nut souffle is made for his son, rose cream is made for the boss and his wife's wife when they are in love, because there are no roses, so I made this rose cream for her, and so on. Regardless of whether the stories are true or not, these stories satisfy people's needs and feelings.
several classic varieties of Xianghe Bobo Shop
1, pine nut souffle
2, jujube flower souffle
3, egg yolk souffle
4, walnut souffle
5, big gift box, which contains 1 varieties. There are also beef tongue cakes, imperial concubine cakes, and ingot cakes. It's the first time to buy this, so you can taste a few more flavors.
there are too many varieties to finish at once. There are still new varieties being introduced.
Summary
Generally speaking, since I was on the tip of the tongue and became an online e-commerce, we ordinary people who are not from Tianjin also know about this brand, and we feel that our popularity has improved. It should also be regarded as a famous pastry brand in Tianjin.
My grandmother loves snacks, so she always keeps some at home, and my father always takes me to buy snacks for her. There are several old dim sum shops in Tianjin, Siyuanxiang, Xiangdezhai and Guishunzhai. The first two are owned by the Han people, and Guishunzhai is owned by the Hui people. The difference between the Han and Hui people is that there is big oil, and the Hui people can only put sesame oil. In contrast, Han people's snacks can be kept dry for a long time because of the use of big oil, which is more crisp, especially horseshoe crisp. If the sesame oil is not cooked well or left for a long time, the dough will feel like a root, which needs personal experience. Later, with the demolition, Xiangdezhai in the North Road and Siyuanxiang in the South City were all missing, and they missed it very much. Guishunzhai has also moved to the opposite side, but it is opening more and more, but there have always been two Guishunzhai coexisting, one is the old name of the original site (now for the sake of distinction, the trademark is Lu Zhuangzi), and the other is Guishunzhai, the second business group. Personally, I feel that the former one is better. As for Xianghe, I heard that it was done by an old woman. It should be famous for its mung bean cakes, and that's all. Not to mention the bridge road, you can only dim sum for a few years, and even a trough cake can be made into white to sell. What the hell? Only for selling Yuanxiao. Maybe I don't know much about Xinle's history, and I didn't mention it. I bought it several times, but personally, I put too much sesame oil and lost the soul of dim sum. Maybe moon cakes are better, and I haven't bought them.
Objectively speaking, Gui Shunzhai has a good background and reputation.
Let's talk about the subjective aspects below. I like eating all kinds of snacks very much. Personally, I like Xinle best, with stronger aroma and pure taste, followed by Guishunzhai. However, the taste of each store in Guishunzhai is slightly different, and Heping Road Head Office is better. The old shops and big stores in the northwest corner are also good, and some small shops are a little unstable. Daqiao Road also has a mass base, but I always feel that selling Yuanxiao on Daqiao Road is the root, and making snacks seems to be a little less profound. Daqiao Road is a little more expensive than Guishunzhai and Xinle. There are many chains of snacks in Daqiao Road, and the things sold are very miscellaneous. The ordinary version of Yuanxiao is not as delicious as before, but the high version of Yuanxiao can find some original flavor ... Okay, digression.
Xianghe Bobo Shop is accompanied by the rise of the Internet. It can be said that its operation is very successful, and its popularity on Taobao is high. Many of my foreign friends only know Xianghe, but I don't know Gui Shunzhai. But before TV, at least eight out of ten native people in Tianjin had never heard of this store, and the other two did not necessarily know where it was. Like me, I know this store very well and have never been to a physical store. I have eaten things, but the taste is not bad, but I have really made great contributions to the promotion of Jinwei cakes, and I still admire this store very much.
Although Xianghe Bobo Shop is located in Tianjin, it is a typical Beijing saying. Beijingers are forbidden to say dim sum (the family members of Ling Chi's prisoner bribed the executioner and stabbed him to death with a knife during execution, which is called dim sum, with the purpose of changing a corpse into a corpse and alleviating the prisoner's pain), and use it instead. Tianjin, on the other hand, is generally more accustomed to calling dim sum or eight pieces collectively, although strictly speaking, not all of them count as eight pieces.
no matter where the cakes are, contemporary people are not very interested! Oily and sweet, it naturally causes people to avoid! When I was a child, my father's cakes were very delicious, but unfortunately I didn't learn them. There were many specialty shops in my hometown town. When my father was young, he often looked after the cake shops and learned the skills of making cakes with one hand. Remember, use half the oil surface and half the water surface. After separating and mixing, cover the oil surface with water bread, roll it into a dough sheet, then roll it up, rub it into a small piece by hand from one end, put the stuffing in it, and flatten it flat on the smooth side after wrapping, then you can make various patterns. There is only one kind of stuffing in the countryside, that is, bean paste. Cook the beans thoroughly in a cauldron, and then squeeze out the liquid with gauze. What remains in the gauze is the bean skin. Keep cooking the bean liquid until the water evaporates, and then add some sugar to dry fry it. The baked snacks are especially delicious!
From the present situation of pastry marketing in Tianjin, we can see the deep-seated problems between Tianjin people and managers. Laziness and lack of enterprising coexist; Lack of innovation and marketing awareness; Out of touch with the changes of the times, the dock culture and small-scale peasant economy have seriously bound the enterprising spirit of Tianjin people and Tianjin brands. Lack of dependence and innovation; Self-styled, no overall situation, no concept of the times, "wife and children hot kang, 3 acres of land a cow", satisfied with the status quo. I only know that I have myself, but I don't feel it. Leaders habitually interfere with enterprises and society, bind the autonomy of enterprises and fetter the creativity of the people. Just be a mother-in-law, not encourage self-employment and loosen the power of freedom. A large number of influential brands are gradually declining or even disappearing. Existing brand-specific products are obsessed with petty profits, and it's really painful to look at their dusty appearance.
In the long run, Tianjin will eventually become a "dock" and gradually drift away from modern civilization. We should hit Tianjin hard, wake up from the sinking and embrace freedom and innovation.
The most famous court pastry in Tianjin is Guishunzhai's "Tianjin Eight Pieces" with red fruit stuffing, jujube paste stuffing and red bean paste stuffing, all made of sesame oil and flour.
Then there's Gui Faxiang's twist with shredded green silk, rose and white sugar, which is crispy and delicious. Visitors to Tianjin don't feel that they haven't been to Tianjin without a few boxes of the 18th Street Twist.
Tianjin's cakes should be foods with pure taste, exquisite materials and meticulous workmanship. At present, there are cakes of Guishunzhai, Daqiao Road, Xinle and other brands that are well-known in Tianjin market, and Muji cakes in the northwest corner are also very distinctive. The cakes of the above brands basically maintain the original flavor, but also have improvements and innovations, which are very popular among Tianjin people.
across from Dongmenli in Tianjin, there is a Yipin Xiang Pastry Shop at the corner of Dongma Road and Shuige Street. When I was a child, my father often brought snacks from the shop to my grandmother after work, and I went back to Tianjin to work in the countryside. When my grandmother was gone, I bought her cakes, especially Tibetan cakes, and my father never got tired of eating them. Demolition around 9 years ago, I don't know where to move. What a pity! ! !
As a native Tu nationality in Tianjin. Make cakes or cakes. Gui Shunzhai is definitely the first name of the time-honored brand. However, I believe many people must have a deep memory of the old local brands, such as Laomaosheng butter biscuits, Guifaxiang's twist, recreational desserts, Xinle cakes, century-old West Point Cheese Forest and Zhilanzhai's dried cakes!
