LU SHI MEI HUA GAO

The shop is located in a small alley in Laomendong. When I went there at night, although the weather was very cold, the queue was not small at all. But the speed of movement was still quite fast. I chose the one with red bean paste filling. It was hot just out of the pot and placed in a small paper cup. It was very soft and sticky, and the red bean paste was also very delicate, and not very sweet, and the taste was very good. Of course, the price is not cheap.

The plane was delayed when it came here, which was really annoying. This was my first meal in Nanjing. I wanted to eat small buns, but I couldn't find them after wandering around. I accidentally saw this plum blossom cake. I saw everyone say that this shop is good before, so I looked around. The store owner told me that I needed to queue up, so I just stood in front and queued up. Sure enough, everyone had a herd effect, just like the last time I came to Nanjing to buy sesame cakes, the more people lined up, the more people lined up. The boss said that a dozen can be made from a pot, but I think there must be at least 20 to 30 people queuing up on the spot. One pot takes about ten minutes, and I personally think it takes 20 minutes~ There are a lot of messy things in the plum blossom cake, such as bananas and dates. It's the first time I've eaten it. The taste is very good. It's really worth eight yuan. But I ate the red bean paste one, and my mouth was burned at the end. Everyone must eat slowly and don't rush. [tears][tears][tears][tears]

A famous traditional snack in Nanjing, a stall in a small alley in Laomendong. Usually there are a lot of people. Fortunately, I live in Laomendong, so I only have to wait for 5 minutes at 10 o'clock in the morning. The bean paste flavor I bought is not very sweet, the bean paste is delicate, and it is paired with a glutinous and slightly burnt crust. It is delicious and not expensive!

I always thought that there would be no delicious food in tourist attractions, because those things are for tourists, expensive and unpalatable. However, this store is different, it is really good. Although Nanjing's plum blossom cake is very famous, I have never eaten it once, because I think this cake looks gaudy and I have no desire to eat it at all, and most of them are roadside stalls. But the tour guide strongly recommended it and said how delicious it is. Those who said it is not delicious are not eating it right. Okay, let's try it. Before this, I ate a plum blossom cake at the gate of South University, which surprised me and I liked it very much. I also think this one is quite delicious. Fortunately, I didn't miss this delicacy. [Red Bean Paste Plum Blossom Cake] 7 yuan This plum blossom cake has only two flavors, one with red bean paste and the other with fruit filling. I chose the red bean paste without hesitation. First of all, the most praiseworthy thing about their plum blossom cake is that the edge of the skin is crispy. The fire is enough and the time is enough, so the taste is naturally very good. The key is that the filling in the middle is also very full, and the bean paste is not dry. When you eat it while it is hot, the bean paste is a bit liquid and very soft. The small glutinous rice balls on the top are soft, elastic and chewy. Overall, the portion is quite solid, the price-performance ratio is very high, and the taste is good. Recommended!

In my impression, the plum blossom cakes in Nanjing are so delicious that people would go through several alleys and queue for half an hour. In the past, I went to the alleys near Shiziqiao most often, and the plum blossom cakes in the old shops there are all delicious. This time I went to Lu Ji in Laomendong, but I couldn't find the taste in my memory. "Red bean paste plum blossom cake" The small balls of plum blossom cake are not chewy enough, and the glutinous rice flour is not sticky enough, only the red bean paste is dense and sweet. "Fruit filling plum blossom cake" The fruit is banana, and the rest is the same as the red bean paste plum blossom cake. It's okay to buy one by the way, but there's no need to come here specially.

Plum blossom cake is a famous traditional snack in Nanjing (it is said to have come from Suzhou). It originated in the Ming Dynasty and became a special snack in the Jiangnan area in the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Qianlong once ate it and praised it when he went to the south of the Yangtze River. There are two time-honored brands in Nanjing that make plum blossom cake: one is Lu's Plum Blossom Cake (moved to Laomendong), and the other is Zuo Shifu Plum Blossom Cake (still in Matai Street). Plum blossom cake must be made in a special mold. The outside is flour (a bit like an egg cone), and the inside is filled with red bean paste. On top are small rice dumplings, dates, raisins, red and green silk, etc. It is made and eaten immediately, full of memories. Now it costs 8 yuan each.
