Is it a time-honored brand?
Youpin is a real foodie. No matter which place he travels to, the first thing he considers when making a guide is the local specialties, and then he touches on the attractions near the food stores.
Nanjing, among all the tourist cities I have been to, is the most impressive. In addition to the history and culture of Jinling City, Nanjing's special delicacies are also deeply imprinted in my mind.
Nanjing Luxihe, a famous local time-honored store, sells traditional Jinling pastries.
Because of its popularity, you often have to queue up when purchasing. It took about 2 hours to wait in line to buy the products.
And when it was my turn, the store told me that the puffs had been sold out and the cheese yolk hadn't been made yet, so I had to buy some other pastries.
The original peach cake is very big, and you feel a little full after eating one. When you bite it lightly, it breaks into pieces, and there are a lot of crumbs. It is really too crispy.
After the peach cake is in your mouth, it becomes more fragrant the more you chew it, and it melts in your mouth. The taste is really addictive. After eating one, you want to have another one.
The shelf life of a bag of peach cake is 30 days. If you cannot finish it at one time, it must be sealed tightly, otherwise it will not be crispy when you take it out to eat next time.
In addition, there is a kind of walnut cake, which is more expensive than the original peach cake, but there is no difference in taste. On the contrary, the original peach cake has more black sesame seeds, so you can avoid lightning.
Durian cake is also a crispy pastry. The durian taste is super rich and the filling is very filling. If you are also a durian lover, you must try it.
From the appearance, the durian cake is also shiny and feels particularly appetizing.
The puff pastry is particularly multi-layered and tastes great. The durian filling is sweet and soft, with just the right amount of sweetness and not greasy at all.
Coupled with the garnish of black sesame seeds, the aroma is overflowing in one bite.
Although the durian flavor of this durian cake is rich, it is very mild and not too strong or overpowering. Friends who are not interested in durian can also give it a try, and it may open the door to a new world!
The longan and walnut cake is also very rich in ingredients. A lot of walnuts and longan are added into it. It tastes like a honey cake, but with the aroma of walnuts and longan, it is very unique.
The mung bean king tastes a bit too sweet for a tourist taste, but the egg yolk inside is very good and very delicate.
The mochi tastes quite average and is particularly chewy. After I bought it and re-roasted it in the oven, there was not much difference in taste. It tasted crispy and could be pulled out into strands.
But the overall skin is still a bit too dry, so I don’t really recommend you do this. It’s better to eat it on the spot.
Chill the mung bean sorbet in the refrigerator first, and then take it out to eat. It will be more refreshing. The texture of the sorbet is very dense. It does not have the throat-piercing feeling of the old-fashioned mung bean cake. It melts quickly in the mouth. It is cool and has the taste of mung beans.
Fresh fragrance.
The honey cake has a very rich honey taste and the cake is very soft. It is similar to the Nagasaki cake that you had in Japan before. It is very sweet and highly recommended.
Even if grandparents have bad teeth, it is very convenient to eat, but it must be paired with tea. After all, the cake will be a bit dry after eating too much.
In addition to the good Luxihe pastries in Nanjing, the Palace Pastry Shop in Chengdu is also worth a try.
