东吴苏锦记绿豆汤(宫巷店)

The mung bean soup from this store has a high rating online, but I think the taste is not what I expected. It's a bit out of place. They added mint, picked red and green silk and candied dates. Is this still mung bean soup? First of all, the mint tastes very strange to me. I don't like this taste. I still think the mung bean soup I made at home and put in the refrigerator is better than this one.

It's near Guanqian Street. I saw a few shops selling mung bean soup. But this one seems more professional. However, at night, there are not many people who come to drink mung bean soup a little earlier than after dinner, so you don't need to queue up, just buy it. The environment is OK, but there is no bathroom. I looked at the desserts and there are quite a lot of them, which have the taste of old Suzhou. I ordered the signature iced mung bean soup. Of course, it can be heated if it's cold, but I'm a hot-tempered person, so iced is more suitable. It's served in a beer cup, with a large portion. If you eat it all, you don't need to eat dinner. There are mung beans, candied dates, glutinous rice, raisins, etc. The candied dates taste sweet and a little crunchy. The water is mint water, which is icy and cool. Sugar water chicken head rice, chicken head rice is very chewy, and fresh ones are of course better. After peeling, it is off-white, and osmanthus is added. It's called sugar water, and it tastes light. Osmanthus taro, this one has a richer flavor, the taro is also glutinous, the osmanthus is full of floral fragrance, and the color is also deep. The chicken feet are braised, not too flavorful, it can be a little deeper, and the stickiness is a little lacking. This is a store with a high cost-effectiveness. Isn’t it to come to Suzhou to shop and eat?

Is mung bean soup popular this summer? There are many snacks to recommend. I also arranged a store for my trip to Suzhou as a thirst quencher. Su Jinji on Wusan Road is very close to Xiangxin Restaurant. I grabbed some mung bean soup before Xiangxin opened. It is not the same as I imagined. It is a very small shop and the boss is very talkative. The place for eating in the restaurant is similar to the counter seat. It is barely enough for two people. There are not many things sold in the store. They provide takeout and support Alipay and WeChat payment. Unfortunately, there is no wifi. Iced mung bean soup 7 yuan, super large cup, the ingredients alone are about half a cup. The mung bean base is different from the traditional one. It is added with candied fruit and glutinous rice... The sweet soup has a minty scent, which brings a touch of coolness in summer. The mung beans here are not crispy, and the glutinous rice is a bit hard. It doesn’t feel like drinking mung bean soup, but a bit full. The store also has a black rice mung bean soup with a high click-through rate. The takeout uses the mung bean soup & ingredients packaging method, which is very clean.

I went there with my sister Princess on July 6th, and I left a comment on the 16th. It's not too late for a procrastinator to leave a comment. To be honest, I don't know why this shop is so popular online. Maybe I'm used to drinking traditional mung bean soup, and I can't get used to this kind of mung bean soup with mint and some sweet ingredients. It always tastes weird, and the sweetness of the mung bean soup is completely suppressed. This is no longer mung bean soup. I won't patronize it a second time, so I don't understand those who said they would pack a few cups to drink on the train back to Shanghai.

I specially went to eat at Xiaolu from the hotel, a mung bean soup restaurant that was highly recommended online. Unfortunately, this is no longer mung bean soup. This mint soup has some mung beans and rice added to it. I can't eat it. At first I thought it was fermented rice, but it's not. I don't know what the point of this combination is. It doesn't taste good.
