Suzhou Gusu Xinzhenyuan·Suzhou-style prawn pan-fried (Shilu Pedestrian Street Store)

#2月好地方2025 Address: No. 2 Shantang Street, Gusu District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province (North of Duseng Bridge) Atmosphere/Facilities: Small seats, order by scanning QR code, pay online, a well-established online celebrity restaurant on Shantang Street Specialties: Paper-wrapped siu mai, mini wontons, Suzhou-style prawn pan-fried Price per person: 20 RMB Rating: This is a time-honored internet-famous restaurant located at Duseng Bridge on Shantang Street. This is my first impression of Shantang Street. It is also the first impression of many people when they enter Shantang Street. It can be said to be an old store and also an Internet celebrity store. The place was packed early in the morning, although there was hardly any queue. The main reason is that the food is served quickly and the table turnover is also fast. Egg yolk cheese paper dumplings 28RMB 4 pieces per serving The wrapper of the siomai is very thin, and the filling is fried glutinous rice, salted egg yolk and cheese. This savory and delicious dish is highly recommended for trying. You can order a half portion. Bubble Wonton 15 RMB/bowl There are a lot of wontons, and the soup base is made of dried shrimp and seaweed. The soup is light and a little salty. There is very little meat filling in the wontons and most of the meat is in the wonton wrapper. Crab meat and shrimp dumplings 38RMB/4 per basket As the name suggests, crab roe and shrimp dumplings are not bad. But there aren't many specialty stores. The skin is very thin and the soup is hot. Signature King Prawn Pan-Fried 27RMB for 4 The shrimps are big and the skin is crispy. Contains hot soup. The second recommended dish besides paper-wrapped siu mai. It tastes best fresh out of the oven. Overall, the taste is pretty good for a chain store, and it’s very suitable for trying Suzhou-style shengjian and siomai for the first time. It is recommended to dine in and avoid crowds. Of course I believe it’s not the most delicious.
