In fact, soup dumplings were really eaten often when I was a child. Now many people in southern Jiangsu would rather eat in Huai'an than in Tangbao that costs dozens of yuan. Wenlou Tangbao is also famous locally. Also called crab roe soup dumplings, it contains the roe and meat of hairy crabs (i.e. hairy crabs) mixed with pork. Generally divided into several grades, such as 30, 50 yuan/piece, the soup dumplings are the same size, the difference is the amount of roe and crab meat inside. The way to eat is to pour some seasoning (vinegar and minced ginger and coriander) on the soup dumpling, poke a hole with a straw, and drink the soup inside first. We are used to sucking directly from our mouths, but now we use straws when we are more elegant. The soup is delicious with the aroma of meat and crab. After drinking the soup, eat up the skin and meat. Don't forget to lick the plate after eating🤣🤣🤣. 🛎In addition to soup dumplings, most of the Huaiyang cuisine in this restaurant has retained the old-fashioned methods. Soft-shelled eel, cattail meatballs, salted river shrimp, and fried green vegetable tripe with oil residue are all good. 👉The service is warm and friendly. It is a good choice to taste Huaiyang cuisine. If there are few people, you can also choose to have breakfast. A bowl of Yangchun noodles and a soup dumpling will definitely not disappoint you!

The taste is good, a bit interesting, Wenlou soup dumplings come from here, and there is also the Wenlou Zhang 🥚, which is really good. The birthplace of Huaiyang cuisine, authentic. [Taste] Very good. [Environment] Average. [Service] Acceptable.

Recommended by a friend, the signature dish is soup dumplings, and I ordered a few dishes. The steamed lion head is fat but not greasy, and melts in your mouth! The loofah tea is also a local specialty. The loofah seeds are a bit crispy if you eat them quickly, but they become a bit like dried silk after soaking in the soup for a long time! The tofu soup and black fish slices are both good, mainly light

I wanted to have a meal at the famous Wenlou, but it was difficult. I needed to make an appointment and it was crowded. I gave up after thinking about it and didn't wait any longer. I looked at the menu and the price was not cheap. The meal was in the old building in the scenic area, which was very romantic. The most amazing thing was the couplet on the wall, which had big and small, up and down, north and south, east and west.
