同利肉燕(道山店)

Meat dumpling is the most famous traditional snack in Fuzhou, Fujian Province. It is the most authentic Fuzhou dish in the Fujian cuisine. In the eyes of northerners, meat dumpling is actually a small wonton. It is a famous festive dish in Fuzhou. Fuzhou people eat it during festivals, weddings and funerals. The main reason is that meat dumpling is also called Taiping dumpling, because the name contains Taiping, which is very auspicious. Meat dumpling has also become a Fuzhou souvenir. Tongli is the most famous meat dumpling. This store is just near Sanfang Qixiang. You can dine in, but there are only 3 seats. "Meat dumpling" is made by hand with pork and sweet potato flour. It is very distinctive. The dumpling skin is as thin as white paper, its color is like jade, and the taste is soft, tough and strong.

Tongli Meat-Dumpling Shop was founded in 1876 and has been passed down for five generations. It is a "Chinese time-honored brand" in Fuzhou that has been engaged in the production and sale of bird's nest skin for more than 120 years. Chen Junfang, who is now in charge of "Tongli", said that his father, the third-generation heir Chen Cuntan, is now over 70 years old. He has been making bird's nest skin since he was 12 years old, and has been making bird's nest skin for more than 60 years. Meat-Dumpling is a fine product among Fuzhou's specialties, which can be said to be unparalleled in the country and unique in China. "Tongli flat meat-dumpling, everyone never tires of eating it" is the advertising slogan that Chen Junfan (2 pieces) always says. This saying is circulated in the streets and alleys of Fuzhou. Tongli Meat-Dumpling Shop is located at No. 3 Macau Road, Fuzhou. Authentic and high-quality bird's nest skin, the pork must be the lean meat of the hind leg, with the best sweet potato flour, and the meat-flour ratio is just right; it is made by hand through a delicate and complex process, as thin as white paper, its color is like jade, the taste is soft and tender, and it is tough and strong. The meat-filled swallow's nest skin is made from lean meat and other auxiliary materials such as starch. It is paper-like in shape, white, smooth and delicate, exudes meaty aroma and is very refreshing.

Tongli is an old shop. Many people come here because of its reputation. In fact, the local Fuzhou people think it is just so-so. The bird's nest skin is very good and expensive, but the stuffing inside is just so-so. If you like to eat bird's nest shreds, you can buy some to eat. The taste is also great.

Tongli Meat-Dumplings is a time-honored brand in Fuzhou. You can't miss this meat-dumplings when you go to Fuzhou. Especially when the people in Tongli Meat-Dumplings beat the lean meat from the pig's hind legs to make the dumpling skin, the rhythmic sound, and then see what the meat will look like after thousands of hammers. Curious students remember to go and see. Then eat a bowl of meat-dumplings, and the trip will be worthwhile. Among the snacks in Sanfang Qixiang, I think the most worth tasting are Tongli Meat-Dumplings, Mujin Meatballs, and Yonghe Fishballs. There is no need to taste the others, as they are not the authentic flavors of the time-honored brands in Fuzhou.

Two time-honored establishments are located right across from each other, both doing brisk business. However, I noticed the other one advertised shark meat as its main ingredient, so I opted for Tongli. I doubt this one actually uses shark meat, haha. I opted for the three-in-one combo for 15 yuan: fish balls, meat dumplings, and something that looked like wide rice noodles, probably also made with fish. In short, it was delicious.

In Sanfang Qixiang, meat dumplings, as one of Fuzhou's delicacies, carry too many ups and downs and historical memories of old Fuzhou. An old city under the setting sun is like an old man carefully recalling the past, with a hint of wisdom and sadness, watching the figures coming and going in the city, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if taking care of his own children, full of tolerance and kindness.

Tongli meat dumplings are a traditional Han Chinese delicacy from Fuzhou, Fujian, belonging to the Fujian cuisine style. Their appeal lies in their unique flavor and rich cultural heritage. They are made strictly according to traditional recipes, using lean pork from the hind leg and blended with fine sweet potato starch, then meticulously hand-beaten through intricate processes. With a round head and loose tail, they resemble a flying swallow, resembling jade to the eye and smooth and crisp to the mouth. Their texture and shape are distinct from wontons. Therefore, in Fuzhou, there's a saying that "Tongli meat dumplings are a never-ending favorite." Meat dumplings also have rich cultural connotations. Swallows symbolize family prosperity and reunion, so they are a staple at festivals and gatherings with family and friends. This is why there's a saying in Fuzhou that "no feast is complete without swallows, and no year is complete without swallows." Meat dumplings are also a nostalgic dish. For Fuzhou residents, eating them feels like returning home wherever they go, making them particularly popular in Taiwan and Southeast Asia.
