What food and specialties do Suzhou recommend?

1, jujube paste cake

Jujube mud cake is a traditional pastry snack in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province in winter and spring. This is a very typical Soviet cake. In the past, glutinous rice flour and water were used to make this kind of cake. The cake was put in a bowl, picked up when it was eaten, and pulled open with chopsticks, so it was named as pulling the cake. After the improvement of the production method, the amount of water added is reduced, cut into pieces and put into pots, with beautiful appearance and excellent flavor.

2. jiaozi sugar

Tangyuan Sugar is a specialty of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, and also a local traditional name. One of the earliest candies in China. The amber maltose juice condenses into a small "four-corner jiaozi", which is crystal clear and seems to have a faint fragrance into the nose. A few ivory pine nuts are sparsely set together. Who can say that it is not a beautiful work of art? Its shape is like a triangular zongzi, hence the name zongzi sugar.

Jiaozi sugar is hard, transparent and shiny. You can clearly see that roses and pine nuts are evenly scattered in the sugar, just like beautiful crystal stones. Sweet and delicious, with the fragrance of pine nuts and roses. Due to the influence of climate, it is not suitable for production in summer.
