Crude Tea and Simple Meal (Dongguan Street Branch)

People have different tastes. I really like to eat osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, lotus root powder dumplings, Yangzhou fried rice, and leaky tofu. The side dishes include dried bamboo shoots, bacon, and a large plate of mushrooms at an affordable price. The braised eggplant 🍆 is also delicious.

If you're visiting Yangzhou, you absolutely must check in at this restaurant. The Yangzhou fried rice and Yangzhou lion's head are incredibly famous. Overall, the food is excellent, and the prices are incredibly affordable. The value for money here is truly exceptional. I highly recommend giving it a try.

This Yangzhou snack bar is a well-known spot, and it's also on this list. Located on the historic and cultural Dongguan Street, it's a great place to stop by while you're there. While the shop isn't large, it does have a quick turnover. If you enjoy lotus root and sweets, don't miss it; it'll satisfy you. Even if you're not a fan, it's a great place to try something new.

When you go to Dongguan Street, you must check in at Cuchadanfan. I always order lotus root starch balls, although my mother thinks it's just average, I like it very much. The chef of Cuchadanfan is good, the egg fried rice is very good, and the braised crucian carp is especially delicious. It's a pity that the braised crucian carp was later removed from the menu. I heard from the chef that he was too busy. Take the simplest vegetable and tofu soup, for example, it is also very well made, good value for money. For two people to eat normally, they probably can't finish the 100 yuan order, so they have to take it away 😄 If you want to eat Cuchadanfan, it is recommended not to go on weekends and holidays. It's hard to wait for one person, and it's even more difficult for a family to wait. If you go on weekdays during non-meal time in the morning or afternoon, dine-in is still provided, and the dining environment has also been greatly improved. Order a bowl of lotus root starch balls and eat it slowly with osmanthus sugar. It's beautiful~

[Location] About 500 meters from the Dongguan entrance, on the left hand side. Compared with other shops on the street, this shop is not small. [Environment] The popular shops on the old street are all crowded. At noon, you have to queue up to order and wait for a seat. [Taste] This shop is known for its lotus root products. - Lotus root powder balls: sesame filling, very chewy, and each one is very chewy. - Lotus root cake: Compared with lotus root powder balls, this tastes average. But it is also very unique.

Cuchadanfan is a small shop located on Dongguan Street in the historical district, and it is also a chain operation. Since I live very close to it and I saw good reviews online, I came here for breakfast on this drizzling morning. Yangchun noodles, osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root, and osmanthus lotus root powder dumplings are all delicious, with moderate flavor and a light fragrance. I like them very much.
