XIN JI XIA BING

💟When I arrived at Qiaogang, I found that there was only this shrimp cake shop. There was a long queue and each person was limited to 10. After queuing for such a long time, I decisively gave up and went to eat other things first. ⏰When it was almost 22 o'clock in the evening, there were finally few people in front of the store, but it was still the most crowded store nearby, so I bought it directly to eat. The staff of this store had an orderly division of labor and was very efficient. The original fried shrimp cake is really worth it, crispy and soft, the shrimp cake just out of the pot tastes great, must be eaten while hot, it's so delicious. As a traditional snack in Beihai, it is still worth a try. You can buy it later, and there will be fewer people in line.

I took it to the 24th building next door to eat sweet soup. Three northern tourists asked me what I was eating? What was it called? Where did I buy it? I answered them one by one, and then I saw that they also sent representatives to buy it. It must be eaten while hot. It feels greasy when it is cold. There are a lot of shrimps, but it seems a little bland.

The famous Xinji Shrimp Cakes, remember to buy them in group purchase, at least for now, every penny saved is a penny saved, right? They said it only opens at 5pm, but I saw it at 4pm. The uncle was very nice, it's not easy to run a small shop and it's worth encouraging. It takes about 5 or 6 minutes to fry a shrimp cake? I didn't pay much attention to it when I was chatting with my friend, it won't take long anyway.

This is a popular online store, called Xinji Shrimp Cake, which is very conspicuous in Qiaogang Style Street. Now there is a group purchase where you can buy a 5 yuan coupon at half price, and the shrimp cake is exactly 5 yuan, which is half price. Many people must have come here because of its reputation, and so did we. The shrimp cake has some small shrimps on the surface, but I am not used to eating it with the shell, because I don't like eating shrimp shells.
