Crude Tea and Simple Meal (Dongguan Street Branch)

People have different tastes. I really like to eat osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, lotus root powder dumplings, Yangzhou fried rice, and leaky tofu. The side dishes include dried bamboo shoots, bacon, and a large plate of mushrooms at an affordable price. The braised eggplant 🍆 is also delicious.

It was already noon when we arrived in Yangzhou. There was a restaurant not far from the hotel that was doing pretty well. Its name was also easy to remember - Cu Cha Dan Fan. This is a restaurant that serves Yangzhou local cuisine. Its specialty dishes are Yangzhou lion head, Yangzhou fried rice and lotus root starch dumplings. The taste was pretty good and quite authentic.

Cuchadanfan is located on Dongguan Street. It has a very high cost-performance ratio. They serve Lotus Root Powder Garden, Boiled Dried Silk, Family Portrait, Yangzhou Fried Rice, Lion’s Head, and a variety of other good vegetable soups. The turnover rate is also fast, so it’s a place I always check in at every time I go there.

When you go to Dongguan Street, you must check in at Cuchadanfan. I always order lotus root starch balls, although my mother thinks it's just average, I like it very much. The chef of Cuchadanfan is good, the egg fried rice is very good, and the braised crucian carp is especially delicious. It's a pity that the braised crucian carp was later removed from the menu. I heard from the chef that he was too busy. Take the simplest vegetable and tofu soup, for example, it is also very well made, good value for money. For two people to eat normally, they probably can't finish the 100 yuan order, so they have to take it away 😄 If you want to eat Cuchadanfan, it is recommended not to go on weekends and holidays. It's hard to wait for one person, and it's even more difficult for a family to wait. If you go on weekdays during non-meal time in the morning or afternoon, dine-in is still provided, and the dining environment has also been greatly improved. Order a bowl of lotus root starch balls and eat it slowly with osmanthus sugar. It's beautiful~

It is a good online celebrity shop. I went there on weekends other than holidays. The queue was not long and I could share a table to eat in a short while. I chose a few of the main dishes in the store. I paid the bill after ordering, and then took it to the empty table by myself. It felt like the management style of a state-owned shop, and there was no good service. The Yangchun noodles I ordered were very delicious. They were served with chicken soup and chicken. It was super cost-effective. It felt better than the well-received egg fried rice😋The egg fried rice was made with vegetable oil, which was not my favorite taste, but the ingredients were sufficient. The soup of the braised lion head was not thick enough, but the taste was okay, with moderate fat and lean. The fried lotus root cake was super fragrant when it was hot. The lotus root powder balls are the main dish in the store. They are really good. The bean paste filling inside would be better if it was more delicate. The lotus root powder balls are served with a light osmanthus soup, which is suitable for this season [strong]

[Location] About 500 meters from the Dongguan entrance, on the left hand side. Compared with other shops on the street, this shop is not small. [Environment] The popular shops on the old street are all crowded. At noon, you have to queue up to order and wait for a seat. [Taste] This shop is known for its lotus root products. - Lotus root powder balls: sesame filling, very chewy, and each one is very chewy. - Lotus root cake: Compared with lotus root powder balls, this tastes average. But it is also very unique.
