Zhong Lou District Bei Zhi Street 7, Changzhou China
What travelers say:
I wanted to try some of Changzhou's specialties, so I first went to the "Detaiheng" hotel, which is known as a century-old restaurant. It was decorated in an antique style and had a good environment. Unfortunately, there was no "black fish tail". I quickly checked and found that there was another "Fuqianlou" less than 100 meters away, which was also a time-honored restaurant in Changzhou, so I went there happily.
I had heard from friends before that the Changzhou dishes in "Fuqianlou" were particularly famous. When I came in, I saw that the private rooms were full. Some dishes could be ordered in small portions. The "crab butter" was particularly delicious. It was different from the "crab butter" in Suzhou. Suzhou used a whole crab in half, coated it with flour, and then mixed it with flour paste to cook it. Changzhou took out the crab roe and crab meat, and then mixed it into a paste to cook it. The taste was better and more delicious, and the ingredients were very sufficient.
The "Red Soup with Tripe" is a classic, smooth, fragrant and tender dish, as if it could slide into your stomach by itself. It is especially unavailable in cities. The "Rock Sugar Pig's Pork Hoof" is made by covering the entire skin of the boneless pig's trotter, which looks very good. The "Black Carp Tail" is also very flavorful, but maybe my expectations were too high, so I felt that it was not as amazing as the other dishes.

The braised dishes at Fuqianlou are especially delicious, and my favorite is the sweet and sour spare ribs.

· Come to Changzhou to eat local specialties. It happened to be the crab season. A local friend of Changzhou brought me to eat at Fuqianlou. There are not many tourists, and probably only locals know about the restaurant. As soon as you enter the first floor, there are all kinds of plaques on the wall, and it is undoubtedly certified as "long-standing". · ▪️It is said that it has been open for more than ten years (or even longer), and private rooms need to be booked in advance. Registration on the first floor, dining on the second floor, the decoration style is also the old retro style of the old brand. · ▪️Ordered a table of local specialties, and almost all of them were delicious after eating a round! Stir-fried river shrimp, each crystal clear shrimp, looks very appetizing, the taste is light, but the ingredients are real. Squirrel mandarin fish, this is one of the representatives of local cuisine, the fish skin is fried very crispy, but the fish meat inside is very tender. Fried eel paste and eel shreds are also typical local dishes. They look thick and red sauce, but they don’t taste salty. Eel shreds are very good with rice. Dongpo pork, this is a must! Very good! It looks like a lot of fat, but it doesn't taste greasy at all. Crab meat and lion head, September and October are the seasons for eating crabs, and there is a lot of crab meat in the lion head. As a seasonal menu, you must try it if you catch up. · ▪️Although Changzhou and Wuxi are very close, Changzhou cuisine is less sweet and more fresh than Wuxi cuisine. And this old brand really represents the local taste. If you are also a tourist in Changzhou, I recommend you to have a meal here. · 🎫Fuqianlou 📍No. 7, Xianzhi Street, Changzhou City (Exit 1 of Nandajie Station, Metro Station) 💰Price per person 100+ 🔺Stir-fried shrimp, fried eel paste, Dongpo pork, and crab meat and lion head are all great #城市人文手记 #一起去店 #小尼发现社 #美食寻味记 @Ctrip社区创作中心 @社区福利君
