What are the special snacks of Qibao?

Old town famous food

Laojie tangtuan

After crossing the bridge, we went straight to this "Old Street Tangtuan" shop, which has long been famous and is located in the middle of the old street at No.26 South Street. Two cauldrons are steaming, round jiaozi is floating on the water, and there is an endless stream of diners coming in and out, which looks like a famous shop.

Jiaozi here has four flavors: fresh meat, red bean paste, sesame and jujube paste, each of which costs 60 cents. Diners regularly line up in front of the cauldron. jiaozi has been cooking in the cauldron for a long time, so don't worry about the passenger flow. jiaozi can't sell it after cooking.

Master skillfully brings the spoons one by one, and jiaozi rolls them up, so you can tell what the stuffing is, and you can be sure if you catch one!

Jiaozi, a fresh meat, was biting a packet of soup, shouting for heat, but also sipping it quickly to pick it up, for fear of losing the most delicious soup. Soft glutinous rice skin, teeth don't have to work hard, and the meat is tender. After biting, it will be loose into fine particles, and there is obviously no trace of starch. When you sip jujube paste jiaozi, you can feel the special jujube fragrance. The upper and lower dumplings only see traces of jujube paste in the middle line. Dough is really not ordinary waxy! The stuffing of jujube paste is dried jujube, chopped and steamed with sugar. The taste is smooth and delicate, and the jujube fragrance still exists after the tip of the tongue.

Looking out from the window on the second floor of the shop, the cornice of the building seems within reach.

meat stewed with soy sauce and strained before serving

Zharou is also a major feature of the ancient town. It was wrapped in lotus leaves and cooked in homemade gravy for a long time. I quit a lot of fat. Although it looks dark and earthy, it tastes fragrant and delicious, which is a typical peasant flavor.

Duck neck, duck breast, duck gizzard, all kinds of bean products, a large pot and a small pot are all cooked. Everything has a bright soy sauce luster. Although at first glance we should take a closer look at its raw materials, the variety is so rich that picky people can't help but pay for one or two strings. The cheapest one yuan is sold in many shops in the old street.

Snails stuffed with snails and clams stuffed with meat are also attractive delicacies, and the preparation method is not difficult. Blanch the snail and clam with boiling water first, mash the meat and pork together, add seasoning, and then blanch the snail and clam. It was mixed with seafood and meat and sold in a restaurant next to Laojie Tangtuan. 13.8.

Attraction point

Qibao square cake

Walking through the old street, you can see the square cakes here, which are also famous local snacks. The traditional square cake is made of glutinous rice skin and red bean paste, the size of two palms together, and a piece of 6 yuan. It's soft and waxy when it's just steamed, but it will harden if it's left for a long time. It is said that the square cake is best when it is not hard, with moderate sweetness and delicate taste. Now we have jujube paste stuffing, mung bean stuffing, pine nut stuffing and cinnamon stuffing at the price of 7- 12 yuan.

Haitang cake

Sugar water poured on the freshly baked Begonia Cake is ugly and brown, but the fragrance is absolutely appetizing. One is 1 yuan. Although queuing to buy, but still need to "grab". Only when my hand reached high did I take a hot paper bag and take a bite while it was hot. First crisp caramel, then soft bread, not sticky or greasy, and a strange smell. Bite down again, it is delicate bean paste, bright purple. When it's hot, the bean paste feels like liquid, and it's swallowed unconsciously. Although the calories are quite high, it will be a pity to miss such delicious snacks all your life. The shop specializing in making Begonia Cake is 1 No.25, Henan Street.

Yajiaobao

Friends who like salty taste may wish to try this duck foot treasure again. Duck feet are covered with a layer of rope, which tastes a bit like rotten skin. Someone told me it was thin duck intestines. There is nothing special about duck feet. The novelty lies in that there are several pieces of preserved duck meat wrapped in it, which is quite chewy, and the umami flavor has been absorbed by the bean products on the outer layer. This is a natural delicacy.

Qiqu gourmet

White-cut mutton

Of course, mutton with proper fat, tough skin and crisp meat needs to be accompanied by excellent sauce. The mutton in Tianxianglou is highly praised by many people. The braised mutton there is stewed with soy sauce such as red dates, American ginseng and rock sugar, which is sweet and soft. 28 yuan is about/kg.

Qianlixiang stinky tofu

At a corner of the old street, there is a small shop with a banner that says "stinky tofu". Buy one, pour it with sweet noodle sauce and hot sauce, and eat it in the street. 4 yuan/yuan.

Qibao jujube meat

There is rotten meat in a restaurant, which seems to be a bit close to the water. This rotten meat is said to be made with a secret recipe, with moderate sweetness, sourness and saltiness, and fragrant wine and meat. The bad meat in the small jar, take it back and steam it for 20 minutes, and you can eat it.

Shenglulu candy

The specialty of this shop is all kinds of maltose, peanut crisp, orange cake and so on. The slogan on the package is quite interesting: "My favorite candy as a child". Peanut crisp is not sweet, fragrant and crisp, and maltose makes girls who love sweets less worried.

In addition, dried sweet potatoes, rice cake balls and soybean crisp stalls in the old street are also quite popular; There is also Fu roast chicken with thin skin and tender meat, and steamed meat with lotus leaf powder is fragrant for 100 meters; The Qibao old restaurant at one end of the town has special fish head soup, and it is quite interesting to raise and cook it yourself, raise it at the door and fish it on the spot.

After eating and shopping, my appetite was completely satisfied. It is really useless to count the money in your arms. In Qibao ancient town, you can eat and drink enough food in the street, only ten yuan! Bring some special snacks back to honor your elders. 100 yuan is enough. The transportation is also very convenient. It takes about an hour to come from downtown.

Eating Qibao Snack Street while Walking.

This visit is like a trip. In this season, it can be used as a spring outing.

In the past, spring outing was mainly for fun, but this time it was for eating. When people grow up, their purposes are different.

The day I went there was sunny and spring was warm in bloom. The ancient town has the emotional appeal of an ancient town. Eating in such a retro street is completely different from eating in the golden hall. What kind of feeling is good? In my opinion, the environment and food should complement each other, and there is no need to eat a duck neck, so don't go to places where decoration is not luxurious. Right?

Begonia cake and cube cake have always been heard to be the most authentic of Qibao, but they are really good.

Both kinds of cakes are very cheap. Begonia cake looks a bit like a rough Portuguese egg tart. The sweet feeling is different, not the taste of sugar, but related to begonia. Eating this cake won't make you full, and it can also be used as an appetizer. There are so many people waiting in line to buy it. It's my turn I bought 10 pieces myself and packed them to take home to eat. I found that my aunt's eyes in the back were not very friendly.

Square cakes are said to be made by many local people. They are small squares with fillers in them. It's soft when it's hot, and it's hard when I buy it. It's as hard as a brick. There are many shops that buy cakes, and there is no need to queue up for one shop. Be sure to steam it while it's hot. I didn't believe it at first either. It doesn't feel good to eat cold. After steaming, it is much softer. The cake itself is very loose, and the filling inside is sweet with bean paste. I like it very much.

I didn't expect steamed meat and beggar chicken in the snack street. Beggar chicken must not be a specialty of Qibao in my impression, because it is delicious. It's good to introduce it. It's just that the appearance is really "screaming", and the attractive fragrance is also because of this soil. As long as it's delicious, buy it. Steamed pork with rice flour smells good. Even if I'm not too hungry, I still want to eat. It's a little exciting.

It's the first time to eat duck feet treasure, and it's also the first time I've heard of it. Curious, so I bought four. It's duck intestines wrapped in salted duck feet. The taste is salty and the duck intestines are hard, so it should be regarded as an appetizer. Qibao's wine is also a bit famous, so I dare not expect it.

Many times, it is not the food that is really delicious, but the mood. In a good mood, fans become shark fins; Oh, no, the shark fin has turned into vermicelli. The reason is that simple.

Incomplete search for eating, drinking and having fun in ancient towns

eat

The town is not big, and the water is spiritual. While boating in Puhuitang, I suddenly caught a glimpse of two palace paintings next to Gu Lou, which were very eye-catching. After landing, I intend to find out. It turned out to be a Japanese food called Chaolaiwu. Compared with other snacks in the ancient town, this restaurant is more elegant and suitable for entertaining friends.

This restaurant is located at No.32, South Street, Qibao Ancient Town, and specializes in cooking live eels. If you order a little, 40 yuan can eat freshly slaughtered eels, while 45 yuan's "Eel Weight" set meal can meet the gluttonous demand. Golden roast eel is smooth and tender, but it tastes tender and fragrant without losing the original flavor of eel. This set meal also includes steamed eggs, dried eel clear soup, fruits and drinks, which are very affordable. The sashimi platter in this restaurant is also fresh, while Japanese kebabs (8- 10 yuan) are all kinds of delicious platters. Chicken heart, chicken gizzard, chicken skin and chicken cartilage instantly become delicious in the hands of the master, and there are two flavors to choose from: sauce roast and salt roast. The former is served with sand tea, which is sweet but not greasy, and the salt roasting method adds a little freshness.

It is said that this family's grilled steak is made by the proprietress herself. When serving, it is slowly roasted on the table with an alcohol stove, and the aroma is slowly emitted, which is irresistible.
