But there are not many places to eat in Shanghai now, which is also one of the characteristics of Qibao. It is made by mixing flour and baking powder into paste with cold water, brushing a little water and oil in a special mold, injecting batter, adding fillings such as bean paste, fresh meat and vegetable lard, then covering the batter, adding diced sugar lard, shredded red and green melons and shredded melon seeds, covering it on an iron plate sprinkled with white sugar, and baking it on a coal stove.

Plum blossom cake is not native to Qibao, but these two kinds of cakes are among the best in Shanghai snacks, which makes the older generation of Shanghainese enjoy it. Now, I'm afraid it's still hard to find them in big stores. In the past, they could be bought from street vendors. Plum blossom cake is also a snack with Wuxi flavor. It is made by mixing high-quality flour, yeast powder and water into paste, injecting it into a hot plum blossom mold, and adding various fillings such as bean paste, fresh meat, vegetable lard and roses.

Figure 4: Qibao Tangyuan is now in two branches, both in 0.6 yuan. There are fresh meat, red bean paste, jujube paste, sesame and other varieties. Fresh meat is obviously the best. Bite out a packet of soup, fresh but not greasy. Black sesame (black cake) is also delicious, very Ningbo. Jujube paste is ground very finely. The stuffing of jujube paste is dried jujube, cored, chopped and steamed with sugar. The taste of jujube is still in my mouth, but I don't like jujube paste myself. The most important thing

There are fried stinky tofu in many places in Gucci town. Each tastes slightly different, but they are all good. Stinky tofu has a long history. Although the name is tacky, the appearance is not amazing, and the ambition is not amazing, it is an ancient and traditional leisure flavor. Once tasted, people often want to stop and have a taste soon.

Figure 6: Other snacks

Visiting Qibao Food Street, besides some local snacks, there are many other delicious snacks. As the saying goes, foreign monks are fond of chanting. Naturally, Nanxiang Xiaolong, Youlian fried, and Shaxian County of Fujian came; However, after all, these chain stores lack characteristics, and Qibao has many distinctive snacks that make people memorable. The most famous is Qibao Fried Meat. Wrapping pork belly with lotus leaves is undoubtedly a temptation for me, a carnivore. In addition, duck feet treasure, beggar chicken, snail stuffed meat and old duck soup are very popular!
