JU XIANG ZHAI

Since we were in Dongguan Street, we had to eat at a few more restaurants. Our strategy was to try a few dishes from each restaurant. We ordered the restaurant's most famous tofu pudding and Huangqiao sesame cake. I personally felt that the tofu pudding was average, but the sesame cake was quite delicious. Huangqiao sesame cake has many kinds of fillings, but we only ordered the ordinary salty one.

There are many snack shops on Dongguan Street. When I walked to Juxiangzhai, I found that it was quite popular. There were many varieties of snacks, which looked quite fresh. There were Huangqiao sesame cakes, tofu pudding, dumpling noodles, etc., and the prices were reasonable.

After eating tofu pudding at Juxiangzhai on the first day, I decided to have breakfast here on the last day. The Huangqiao sesame cake with osmanthus sugar flavor is actually sweet, without the sweet osmanthus fragrance, and the texture is quite crisp. The wontons with soy sauce soup + spicy powder are delicious, and the wonton skin is slippery, which instantly brings back the memory of wontons when I was a child. As for tofu pudding, I have to eat another bowl anyway. I may not be able to taste such a taste and texture when I return to Shanghai.

The tofu pudding at Juxiangzhai on Dongguan Street is incredibly smooth and refreshing, beyond imagination! The shrimp wontons are also excellent. A peek into Juxiangzhai's kitchen: How to make a delicious bowl of wontons. That big pot of lard down there! There are two types of sesame cakes: Huangqiao sesame cakes and crispy sesame cakes. I personally recommend Juxiangzhai's Huangqiao sesame cakes. The hot, freshly baked ones are especially fragrant, crispy, and delicious. No wonder they're always packed. If you're taking some home, you can ask the store to box them. The small square box holds 8, while the long box holds 16. While the packaging may be simple, it's guaranteed to arrive safely at your home.
