HAI TANG CHUN

Taizhou Morning Tea is a famous teahouse, a century-old shop, and its five-flavor hot dried silk, jumping noodles, and sesame cakes are all traditional delicacies that have been awarded the title of Taizhou's intangible cultural heritage. Located at the southern end of Taizhou Old Street, you can have a good morning tea or afternoon tea, and stroll around the old street to experience Taizhou's historical and cultural heritage. [Taste]

Haitangchun Tea House has a history of nearly 100 years. The tea house mainly sells hot dried shredded vegetables, soup noodles, meat buns, vegetable buns and other varieties. My friend and I can't eat too much, so we only ordered the five-flavor dried shredded vegetables, fish soup three-fresh wontons, crab roe buns, and homemade sour plum soup that are recommended by many people. Five-flavor dried shredded vegetables are indispensable. Dried shredded vegetables are made from dried tofu. There are five main ingredients, including meat, coriander, mustard tuber, mushrooms and shredded ginger. They are moderately soft and hard, refreshing and tasty. The dried shredded vegetables in Taizhou are a little different from those in Nanjing. The dried shredded vegetables in Taizhou are ground from local sesame seeds and taste very fragrant. The wontons in fish soup three-fresh wontons have pork filling, shrimp, and shepherd's purse, and the soup base is good. The crab roe buns are different from the crab roe soup buns. The crab roe soup buns have soup, and the crab roe buns have pork + crab meat shreds + crab roe. I personally prefer soup buns. Homemade sour plum soup has a strong taste. Drink it in summer and it will be sour and refreshing.

One of the most famous old tea houses in Taizhou, the store is not very big, but the variety is very rich. The fish soup wonton is really delicious, the soup is also very thick, a little bit salty; the hot dried shredded vegetables are very tender, refreshing, and full of bean fragrance, very delicious. The rice straw buns, jade siu mai, thousand-layer oil cakes, etc. are also very delicious. You must try Haitangchun once when you come to Taizhou.

The second shop we visited during our trip to Taizhou: Haitangchun Tea House. We turned morning tea into afternoon tea, which was amazing! Haitangchun Tea House is a shop that serves morning tea, Huaiyang traditional dishes, and snacks. The decoration inside the shop is simple and clean, and several signs are the names of the streets and alleys in the old Taizhou. Five-flavor dried bean curd, made from soybeans, cut into thin strips, washed and scalded repeatedly to remove the bean smell, poured with refined marinade and sesame oil, and served with shredded ginger and dried shrimp. The color is elegant, tender and unusual, and delicious. Pine nut bean paste buns, the soft and delicious bean paste is sweeter because of the addition of pine nuts. Shrimp steamed dumplings! There are big shrimps in each steamed dumpling, and the juice overflows when you take a bite. Fish soup noodles, from the hands of Master Jiang, the inheritor of Taizhou's traditional noodles and intangible cultural heritage. The soup base is made from eel bones, which is milky white and fragrant, fresh and less fishy. Add thin noodles and sprinkle with pepper. Eat the soup and noodles cleanly, smack your lips, and the fragrance will linger on your teeth. Although it looks like an ordinary food, you know that there is a complicated production process behind it. The chef's efforts in the early morning are the result of his hard work.

A friend drove us to a morning tea shop, which is quite famous in Taizhou. It is said that it is made by a master and inherits a century-old craft. It is really rare. The dried bean curd is different from the hot dried bean curd in Yangzhou. It is very smooth and refreshing. The taste is not very sweet. I added boiled peanuts, which I think is delicious. The pine nut washed sand buns are particularly good. Washed sand is the product of peeling red beans and is difficult to make. It can be seen that the store is attentive. The skin is thin and the filling is large, which is also reflected in the jade siu mai and shrimp steamed dumplings. The emerald green siu mai is very refreshing and vegan, and the shrimps in the shrimp steamed dumplings are also very large. The super-large fish soup noodles use knife noodles. The fish soup is made from eel bones and is particularly delicious with pepper! Shepherd's purse wontons also taste like home

This shop is like the old restaurant in the neighboring city of Yangzhou, also called "Chun". It is located in a shopping mall not far from the tall TV tower. It is a street-side shop. The decoration is antique, the waiter has a good attitude, and actively helps to recommend what to eat. The recommendation is not bad. The business hours of this shop are relatively long, unlike some other shops in Taizhou that open at noon (some open at 2 pm and close at 5 pm. I can only say that the people of Taizhou live a happy life). I ordered the signature fish soup three-fresh wonton. The three-fresh does not mean that the filling is three-fresh filling, but that three kinds of wontons are mixed and cooked together, shrimp filling, fresh meat filling and wild vegetable filling. The soup is very delicious. Even people like me don’t add any seasoning. I eat a bite of wonton and drink a sip of soup, and I actually finish a big bowl. Yangcao buns are also a feature. When I went there at noon, the large buns (6 yuan each) were sold out, so I ordered a small steamed bun, 4 in a tray, all steamed, and I had to wait for 16 minutes. The filling is a little sweet.
