Yuncheng Hongxiang Congee and Pancake Shop (Tianmao City Branch) Review - Shop Highlights: Comfortable decor, a long-established local shop I've been eating at since childhood, full of local charm. - Food Reviews: - Recommended Dishes: Eggplant and Green Beans (authentic Yuncheng flavor, order without hesitation), Spicy Skewers (seasoned with sesame sauce and garlic water, fragrant but not greasy). - Specialties: Pancake with Braised Pork (the pancake is incredibly crispy, the braised pork is a bit greasy, but can be paired with congee to cut through the richness), Shredded Pork with Peking Sauce (slightly sweet, kids will love it). - Adjustable Dishes: Garlic Vermicelli Shrimp (the overall flavor is on the lighter side, those who prefer milder flavors should be cautious).

On Day 3, we visited the Li Family Compound in the morning and visited Dongyue Temple, Feiyun Tower, Houtu Temple and Qiufeng Tower in the afternoon. In the evening, we watched the "Yellow River Sunset Round" outside Qiufeng Tower. Lunch at Jifu Family Banquet was 317 yuan per person, 32 yuan per person. The thin-skinned buns were juicy, the fried steamed buns with jelly were fragrant and glutinous, and the stir-fried chili peppers with elm seeds and green tomatoes were full of homely flavor. Dinner at Hongxiang Congee and Pancake House was 212 yuan per person, 21 yuan per person. The large carp from the Yellow River was tender and had few bones, and the blueberry and mung bean cakes were sweet and refreshing to relieve greasiness. On Day 4, we climbed the Stork Tower and visited Puji Temple, then drove back to Xi'an. For lunch, we stopped by Tongguan to have a modified version of the Sanqin set meal - a cold steamed bun with hot meat, which was super fragrant, served with rice skin/noodle skin and a fresh and mellow duck soup.

Compared with other places, Shanxi is more about welcoming and sending off. Jishan·Yuncheng Big plate chicken mixed with pulled noodles is my fascination and appreciation for my earlier memories. Yuncheng Salt Lake The water is originally worry-free, but it is wrinkled by the wind, and it is hard to calm down for a long time. Hongxiang Congee and Cake House (Bell Tower Store) My old friend.

From the name, I thought it was a small shop selling porridge and cakes. In fact, it is not. It is a two-story restaurant, a chain. There are several such stores in Yuncheng. There are many dishes in it. You can order according to the dishes. It is best to make a reservation if there are many people, because this store is very popular. The mung bean jelly I ordered is very delicious. The chrysanthemum balls are fried, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and they are also delicious when dipped in vinegar. The fried steamed bun with jelly is slightly spicy and OK. The signature eight-treasure porridge has sesame, peanuts, red dates, kidney beans, etc. There is Yellow River carp here, but I didn't order it.
