This time, my college roommate took me to Wenzhou. Of course, the most important thing is to eat the delicious food here. So I also asked my college roommate to take me to eat the most distinctive snacks he thought. I ate glutinous rice flour, fish balls, fried ribs, pork soup and so on. One of the snacks is highly recommended by him. This snack is called Dengzhan Gao, not in Wenzhou dialect, and I don't know how to translate it. I think it's called "oil cake" He said the Yuanxiao cake was a memory of his childhood. He has eaten this snack since he was a child, and the children like it very much.
Dengzhan cake has a long history and is one of the top ten famous snacks in Wenzhou. Generally, it is resold by the aunt on the street. This snack is fried, tender outside and fragrant inside, and rich in ingredients. The main ingredients are flour paste and shredded radish. It tastes delicious, but you can only eat one at a time. If you eat too much, you will be a little tired. I still want to eat after eating one, so I'd better save it for another time.
There are many snacks on the streets of Wenzhou, and they all taste the same. My college roommate took me to buy it in front of his primary school. According to him, this aunt has been selling this here since he was in primary school. At that time, primary school students walked home by themselves. But now the pupils are all picked up by their parents, so they are all former pupils.
In the past, this Yuanxiao cake was 50 cents each, which contained shredded radish and a little shredded pork. Eggs can be added later. Fifty cents is not enough for this lantern cake at present. 5 yuan for one piece and six or seven yuan for many pieces. I ate a luxurious white shrimp with shredded pork and egg yolk. This ten yuan, although expensive, is worth it.
