"Morning Tea🌅"
1⃣️ Crab Roe Soup Dumplings: The skin is so thin that it is transparent! The moment the straw pierces it, golden crab oil gushes out, so fresh that you want to eat three baskets in a row! Recommended: Lao Jie Nan Zhi Yuan. Remember to drink the soup first and then eat the filling.
2⃣️ Fish Soup Noodles: Milky white thick soup made from eel bones at 4am, served with bamboo noodles, so delicious! The time-honored Zhezheju with hot dried tofu is amazing.
3⃣️ Agropyron Cristatum Buns: A bite reveals the fragrance of wild vegetables + river shrimp! Guyuelou's freshly steamed buns are juicy, and the green color is super healing for photos.
[Snack Walking Guide🚶♀️]
4⃣️ Huangqiao Sesame Cake: A flaky intangible cultural heritage pastry! Sweet sesame candy/salty pepper and salt flavors are both great, even better with local rice wine.
5⃣️ Fried Stinky Tofu: The stinkier, the more addictive this dark dish is! Dip it in the secret spicy sauce at Jinhu Night Market, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, so addictive.
6⃣️ Qin Lake Eight Delicacies Feast: Dungan crab + silver fish + green shrimp, a whole table of river fresh food, highly recommend the cheesy crab roe tofu!
