西园寺素食(西园弄戒幢律寺店)

On April 9, the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, I went to the popular Xiyuan Temple with my friends to worship. We set off from home at 7 o'clock in the morning and arrived in more than an hour. There were already quite a few people, and there was a queue for vegetarian noodles. It took us more than 2 hours to worship and walk around the back garden. Then we went to eat vegetarian noodles. The queue was very long, but the speed was faster than expected. But in fact, I felt that the taste would cater to diners from all sides. It was not as sweet as Suzhou noodles. The sweetness was not fresh enough, so it was just average. Finally, I queued up to buy vegetarian bags. Each bag of 5 was pre-packed. I bought 4 bags, and when I got home, I found that there were only 4 in one bag, so I gave it as a merit to the incense money.

The vegetarian noodles at Xiyuan Temple are very famous. I ordered Guanyin noodles, which cost 15 yuan. Then I took the receipt and took the noodles by myself. The noodles contained mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and fried gluten. Although it was cooked in a big pot, it tasted really good.

Xiyuan Temple Vegetarian Liuyuan Road Store is located in Xiyuan Temple. Vegetarian noodles and vegetarian buns are not sold together, so you have to buy them separately. Guanyin noodles ~ mushroom gluten bamboo shoots ~ bamboo shoots are old ~ several pieces are hard to chew ~ Ruyi noodles ~ roasted gluten bean sprouts fungus day lily ~ OK ~ Vegetarian chicken ~ thick and delicious Vegetarian buns are lined up in the archway next to the toilet. There are red bean paste buns and cabbage buns, etc. The buns are sold in batches of 5. I saw that several people in front were buying red bean paste buns, and they lined up until the red bean paste buns were sold out. Vegetarian buns are also OK. The price is cheap ~

Xiyuan Temple, under the fame of Suzhou gardens, is not very well-known to tourists, but it is a nearly 700-year-old temple from the Yuan Dynasty, and was rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. The vegetarian restaurant in the temple was also an unexpected surprise of this unplanned trip. It is definitely worth a visit. It is the most delicious vegetarian noodles I have ever eaten in the temple. The name is also very Zen. The toppings are refreshing and the taste is naturally delicious. The decoration is also antique and integrated with the temple. There are vegetarian buns for sale in the front yard. I directly took a bag of five. If I hadn’t been going to the zoo for a day, I would definitely pack more.

When I went there, there were not many people in the vegetarian restaurant. I still had the same dishes, and the taste was okay. After eating the vegetarian food, I went to the release pond and saw a group of different ducks. The ducks are the elves of the release pond of Xiyuan Temple. They swim freely, are not afraid of strangers or people, and are enthusiastic and unrestrained, adding bright colors to the serious place.
