GU XIANG LOU

There are many kinds of snacks and delicacies in Wuxi, but Wuxi Xiaolongbao's position as the top brother in Wuxi snacks will never be shaken. Qinyuan Xiaolongbao Dongting Store has closed, but this "Guxianglou" opposite Exit 1 of Dongting Subway Station can be called a treasure store of Xiaolongbao. Entering the store, the windows are clean and tidy, and the tables and chairs are decorated in a retro style. The dipping sauce, chopsticks and plates on the table are all stored in a small turntable, which feels particularly clean. A little girl holds a tray with free tea and soy milk on it, pouring it for guests at each table, quiet and gentle, which is very suitable for Wuxi Jiangnan Water Town. Xiaolongbao is freshly wrapped and steamed, and the taste is very positive, the soup is full, the skin is thin and the filling is large. What's more delicious is the red soup Kaiyang wonton, which has a lot of condiments, including egg shreds, dried tofu shreds, seaweed, shrimp skin, chopped green onions, etc. After placing an order, a timer is also placed to ensure that it will be served in a few minutes. It feels like a very attentive and hardworking shop. It is rare for a snack bar to be able to do this!

Guxiangting in Wuxi is worth a try. You can try the magnolia cake, small steamed wontons and large wontons. The price is not cheap, but there is a lot of meat, which makes it delicious.

How can you not order soup dumplings when you come to Wuxi? The group purchase on Dianping.com is also awesome~ Ordered 2 wontons, which are similar in size to medium wontons, and a soup dumpling, which is more than enough for 2 people~ The advantage of Quanjiafu wontons is that all the flavors are perfect~ I highly recommend the mushroom and fresh meat ones, which are much better than the Chongming wontons in Shanghai~ There is a lot of juice and freshness~ The soup dumplings are also quite big, and there are 2 kinds of vinegar on the table. The store is very thoughtful~ The combination of fragrant vinegar is really great! The environment is also very elegant, I will come again next time I come to Wuxi~

I came here for the local specialties. The wontons in white soup were stuffed with shrimp meat and were very fresh. The steamed buns were too sweet for me, a Cantonese. I couldn't get used to them, but the meat inside was still very fresh and the quantity was large. You can buy them in bulk, so they are very cost-effective.

There are many Wuxi traditional snacks (wontons, xiaolongbao) shops near my home, but I love this one the most. I have been eating here for many years, and the taste and quality have remained the same. Moreover, the classical and elegant environment and the considerate and thoughtful service make people feel very relaxed and comfortable when enjoying the food.
