GE JI

It tastes really good, although it looks a bit greasy, but the stewed pancake here is actually quite dry, and the portion of jar meat is quite large. Since I only ordered one stewed pancake, the waiter was very considerate and did not charge me for the tea. This is really a very interesting intangible cultural heritage snack.

Stewed pancake is a special flour product. In fact, it is not like a pancake, but more like fried noodles. It tastes similar to fried rice noodles. Jar meat is braised pork, which is the Henan version of fried beef noodles.

At first I thought it was a small shop, but it turned out to be a big restaurant. In addition to steamed buns, there are all kinds of Henan stir-fried dishes. It is no problem to have a full meal here. On the contrary, there are very few people like me who only order a steamed bun.

The rich Central Plains culture has created a unique food culture in Zhengzhou. Geji stewed cake is one of the special snacks in Zhengzhou, which has been passed down for hundreds of years. Whenever I travel to a place, I will go to the local Chinese time-honored restaurants to taste the special food there. Food satisfies the taste buds, so when I go to Zhengzhou, my first choice is Geji Cake Shop on Funiu Road...

There's a long-established Beijing-style restaurant on Funiu Road that's been operating here since 1926, making it almost a century-old establishment. This area is also an old residential district, with various factories nearby that evoke a sense of nostalgia. Ge Ji Braised Pancake is a low-key presence in this area.
