For breakfast, you must eat straw buns! Cold dish stuffing buns, the first time for people from Northeast China to try, very refreshing! Shrimp buns really have whole shrimps, full marks ~ The buns are thin in skin and large in filling, and each bun is round and delicious and looks good.
When you arrive in Jinan, you must go to eat Caobao steamed buns. There are several branches of this steamed bun shop. The main store on Puli Street has a good location and a nice environment. Many people eat there every day. The steamed buns taste good, and many people take them away. There is also a lotus leaf in the takeaway bag, which is very fragrant.
Four stars, Caobao Baozi Shop (Puli Street Main Store) is still very good, you can try it if you have the chance! I heard that Caobao Baozi is the most popular bun in Jinan, and I was drooling all the time. Last time I came to Jinan, I wanted to try it at Qianfoshan Store, but I gave up because of something. This time I took a bus to Puli Street Main Store to taste it. At noon, there were many people queuing, which was totally unexpected. The store told me that I had to order at least 2 taels of each variety, and 1 tael has 3. In the end, I ordered vegetarian buns, special pork buns, Longjing pork buns, and shrimp pork buns. As a carnivore, I still like special pork and pork and shrimp the most, hehe
1. Zhang Wenhan, the founder of Caobao Baozi Shop, learned his craft at the "Jizhenyuan" restaurant in Luokou, Jinan, when he was a child, and was taught by the famous chef Li An. He was honest by nature, and spent all day making fire, picking vegetables, and doing odd jobs without making any noise, so his fellow apprentices called him "Caobao". 2. Caobao Baozi Shop is located at No. 15, Puli Street, Jinan City, near Baotu Spring Scenic Area. Caobao Baozi Shop has many honors: Chinese time-honored brand, Shandong time-honored brand, Jinan time-honored brand, Shandong famous snack, Jinan famous trademark, Shandong cuisine famous store. 3. The store not only provides buns, but also orders dishes to taste Shandong cuisine in the back of the store and on the second floor. 4. Caobao Baozi uses a knife to cut the meat filling, which is made of fresh pork and refined with special seasonings. It is called pork soup filling. 5. Price list of Caobao Baozi. Meat-filled buns cost 40 yuan per pound, 30 buns, and an average of 1.3 yuan per small bun. This price is definitely not cheap in Jinan. 6. For more information and pictures about Caobao Baozi Shop, please refer to my Ctrip travel notes "Shandong is a good place, Shandong cuisine is really delicious - stay in Jinan for four days, taste seven specialties of Shandong cuisine", link address: http://you.ctrip.com/travels/jinan128/3171779.html
I ate here a few years ago. The buns tasted good. The locals also recommended this place. 5 yuan for 3 buns. It was delicious and not expensive.
After strolling around Baotu Spring, I felt a little hungry and sleepy, so after consulting enthusiastic passers-by, I came to the famous Caobao Steamed Bun Shop. Before I entered the store, I saw a long queue, everyone was queuing to buy buns. After waiting in line for quite some time, I struck up a conversation with a kind-hearted lady and found out about the shop's signature dishes and the best buns. The three of us bought half a pound of large buns stuffed with meatballs and shrimp, stir-fried kidney and hot and sour soup, and had a delicious meal. It was indeed delicious.
When I came here again, it was still the same as I remembered a few years ago. The old-fashioned service also accepted modern payment methods such as Alipay, but WeChat payment did not work. The food was still authentic and delicious. People were constantly coming and going, and the signature dishes were all tempting, but unfortunately my appetite was limited...
