Wenkuizhai

Around the Qingming Festival, this Qingtuanzi shop is very popular. You have to queue for a long time to buy it. The traditional red bean paste and black sesame are delicious👍, and the egg yolk meat floss that keeps up with the times is also very good,👍. The main thing is that the Qingtuan skin of this shop is particularly good, fragrant, and not sticky~

Kunshan Zhengyi’s specialty food is made in early spring by mixing green grass juice with glutinous rice flour and kneading it into a light green dough. The old ladies then add various fillings, such as jujube paste, bean paste, and a ball of pork fat, and steam it over high heat. Soon after it comes out of the steamer, it is eaten by the guests who have been waiting for a long time. The business is so good that some take one basket and some take three.

The scenery is pretty good and the surrounding area is quite lively and worth some fun.

In fact, if you come to Suzhou, you can try green dumplings, which is a specialty snack in Suzhou!

Speaking of the most popular food and snacks in the spring of Jiangnan, it must be Qingtuanzi. Qingtuanzi used to be a sacrifice for tomb sweeping during the Qingming Festival in Jiangnan, but now it has become a street food snack. There are many places in Jiangnan where you can eat Qingtuanzi, but the one that impressed me the most is the Qingtuanzi from Zhengyi in Kunshan, Suzhou. - Unlike Qingtuanzi in other places, the green grass used in Zhengyi Qingtuanzi is not green vegetables or mugwort, but a plant called brome grass, also known as brome grass. Not only that, Zhengyi Qingtuanzi also puts a lot of effort into the filling, using a fruit heart, using dates cut into fine grains without cores, adding white sugar, roses, and pine nuts; the other is a bean paste heart. A small piece of crystal-like lard is embedded in the dumplings made with these two fillings, so that they taste sweet but not greasy, fat but not fat, fragrant when pressed on the tongue, and mellow. - Zhengyi Qingtuanzi is very famous throughout Suzhou, and many diners will drive dozens of kilometers to Zhengyi Old Street to eat it. There are more than a hundred shops selling Qingtuanzi in Zhengyi Old Street, and each of them sells hundreds or thousands of Qingtuanzi that day. Among them, Wenkuizhai in Xiatang Street is the most popular. In the whole Kunshan area, only its Qingtuanzi needs to be queued up to buy, and it takes at least half an hour to wait. This also shows the taste and popularity of the century-old shop. - ⭐️Store name: Wenkuizhai 📌Location: No. 148 Shangtang Street, Zhengyi, Kunshan, Suzhou 🚄Transportation: Take the high-speed rail to Kunshan Station or Yangcheng Lake Station, and then take a taxi.
