What are the characteristics of Wuxi?

The local food in Wuxi is a little similar to Suzhou and Shanghai, but the taste is sweet and light. When many foreigners come to Wuxi for the first time, they are particularly unaccustomed to eating, especially those areas with heavy tastes, such as Sichuan and Hunan, who like spicy food.

The most distinctive dish in Wuxi is ribs with Wuxi sauce. The ribs are red in color and sauce, and the meat is crispy and fragrant. It's absolutely a must! Don't miss the foodies who love sweets! However, the most authentic sauce spareribs have to go to the old Sanfengqiao Meat Restaurant on Zhongshan Road in the center of Wuxi to eat the freshly cooked pork, which is called Xiang. Wuxi sauce ribs are sold in many local supermarkets, but they are all vacuum-packed. At most, I can taste the sweetness, but I can't taste the fresh fragrance of the ribs with sauce at all. ?

In fact, the local people in Wuxi don't eat much of the sauce ribs mentioned above, and Wuxi steamed buns are the favorite of Wuxi people, especially breakfast. Breakfast must be packed in a small cage before a new day can start satisfactorily. Pick it up without breaking the skin, turn it over without leaking the bottom, and suck it full of salt water, fresh but not greasy. Just listening to this description, I can't help but want to take a bite. In autumn and winter, boiled crab oil is added to the stuffing. The famous outside is "Wang" steamed buns, and the steamed buns that are really respected by Wuxi people are "xi Shengyuan". Come to Wuxi, you can both try it, and you will never regret it.

Wuxi's oil gluten is also a specialty, and Suzhou and Shanghai don't sell much. Whether fried or stewed, oil gluten is a good side dish, and it is more fragrant when stewed with meat. A dish invented by Wuxi people-meat gluten is the kind of food that makes you memorable. Just stuffing the meat into Wuxi Qingshui oil gluten and stewing it on fire is much more satisfying than eating jiaozi wonton. ?

There is also a delicious food that many outsiders don't know, that is, four-color jiaozi. To put it bluntly, it is twice as big as the jiaozi we usually eat. There are all kinds of fillings, such as fresh meat, vegetable lard, sesame, rose sugar, bean paste, shrimp fresh meat, dried bamboo shoots fresh meat, Kaiyang radish and so on.

There are many delicious foods in Wuxi, such as Liangxi crispy eel, Yulan cake, Taihu Sanbai, Sanxian wonton and so on, just waiting for you to taste!
