Good to drink and not expensive, it is the synonym of Shanghai aunties.
Huahua drinks all the shops in Guangzhou.
I recently discovered a few new favorites and can&#39;t help but share them with everyone!

🥤Red glutinous rice and red bean milk tea:
I didn&#39;t expect that milk tea can be drunk like this. Half a cup is red glutinous rice and red beans, just scoop it with a spoon, and eat it with the milk tea base with the aroma of longan, it&#39;s refreshing!

🥭Slurp of mango sago
This is a cup of mango sago that you can slurp! There are mango meat, tapioca pearls, coconut milk, and coconut-flavored vermicelli that are so slurpable. Wow, please be enshrined in the spot!

🍇Cheese grape milk cap
Grape meat peeled by hand and Q-elastic grain gold bricks, meet the fragrant cheese, it is the joy of summer, YYDS!

🍓Hand-made strawberry yogurt
The capsule cup is so cute! Take pictures with it. There are also bursting gold bricks hidden underneath, which is a &quot;fat intestine&quot; surprise! 

🍉What a big cup of fruit tea
The PLUS version of the recently popular large cup of fruit tea is so popular. Five kinds of seasonal fresh fruits, paired with elegant jasmine green tea, super fresh!

Hey you guys! Who could have guessed? When I discovered this hidden gem of a brunch spot, it felt like I&#39;d opened a Pandora&#39;s box of delicious treats! Imagine the sunlight streaming through the glass windows onto the wooden tables covered in exquisite dishes. Each dish was a work of art, instantly captivating my heart. This trip was a total joy!

This brunch spot is truly the pinnacle of both beauty and deliciousness. Take the open-faced sandwiches, for example. The base is toast, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside, topped with a dazzling array of ingredients. There are slick, runny eggs, fresh fruits and vegetables, ham, cheese, and other combinations, creating a vibrant palette. With every bite, the wheaty aroma of the toast, the sweetness of the ingredients, and the rich flavor of the sauces intertwine in your mouth, creating an explosion of layers of richness.

The drinks are equally impressive. The iced latte&#39;s rich coffee aroma blends perfectly with the smoothness of the milk, adorned with a beautiful latte art. The sparkling water is refreshing and refreshing, with lemon slices and mint leaves gently swaying in the glass&mdash;just the sight of them is truly soothing.

When you&#39;re here, I strongly recommend arriving early and getting a window seat. When the sun is shining, the photos are absolutely stunning, and they&#39;ll pop out in seconds, guaranteed to garner tons of likes when posted on Instagram. Furthermore, the leisurely feeling of enjoying brunch while watching the world go by is truly soothing, perfect for those moments of relaxation during travel.

Besides this brunch spot, the surrounding area offers plenty to explore. Nearby, there&#39;s a charming alleyway filled with interesting shops, including handmade crafts and vintage clothing stores&mdash;you can spend an entire afternoon browsing without getting bored. There&#39;s also a small, tree-lined park, perfect for relaxing after a stroll, enjoying the breeze.

If you&#39;re a foodie like me, the surrounding food is also a must-see. Not far from here is a time-honored dessert shop. Their double-skin milk tea is as smooth as pudding and just the right amount of sweetness. A bowl after brunch is a perfect way to feel completely blissful. There are also street food stalls selling freshly made octopus balls, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with giant octopus pieces. Each bite is incredibly satisfying.

Transportation is also very convenient. Take the subway to [specific subway station name] and walk a few minutes. If you&#39;re taking a taxi, just use the shop&#39;s name; the drivers will know it.

In short, starting with a relaxing brunch in this city, embarking on a leisurely journey and discovering the hidden gems of the city&#39;s streets and alleys is truly a special and blissful experience. Dear friends, put this place on your travel bucket list and experience it for yourself! #RecommendThisTreasureRestaurant #RomanticDateRestaurant #FoodFlavorMeeting Mai Le Dessert Shop (Longhua Mingyuan Branch)

It is a relatively large restaurant in the local area. Many locals often come here to hold wedding banquets or birthday banquets. The price-performance ratio is average. The average per capita net consumption is about 50-60. The environment is very good. Recommended

Who could have imagined that after strolling through Tangshanyan until my legs were weary, I&#39;d be captivated by a pastry shop? Passing the bustling food stalls, the aroma of butter mixed with the scent of sesame wafted from a corner. Looking up, I spotted the three gilded characters &quot;Mingyuanzhai&quot;&mdash;wow, isn&#39;t this a century-old pastry shop hidden in the Intangible Cultural Heritage Food City? Locals have long considered this place the &quot;highest tier for Tangshan souvenirs,&quot; and tourists who miss it will regret it!

The moment I walked in, I was mesmerized by the aroma. The old counter displayed the &quot;flavor of time.&quot;

As soon as I reached the counter, I was captivated: dozens of pastries were stacked on the mahogany counter. Mung bean cakes wrapped in oil paper shone a pale green, while sesame-studded clay oven-baked cakes exuded a burnt aroma. Even the boxes containing the pastries were adorned with vintage blue cloth. While they were clearly food, it felt like I was visiting a special exhibition at the &quot;Northern Pastry Museum.&quot;

A master craftsman in a blue cloth jacket was pressing osmanthus cakes into a wooden mold. The pink and white rice cakes were emblazoned with the Chinese character &quot;Fu&quot; (meaning &quot;happiness&quot;), and the steam, wrapped in the sweet fragrance of osmanthus, filled my face. The aunt next to me deftly weighed out the chess-piece sesame cakes. &quot;Do you want sweet or savory? The sweet ones have brown sugar, the salty ones have meat filling. Locals love to mix and match!&quot;

Don&#39;t just stare, grab these signature items first:

- Honey Sesame Candy: This is no ordinary sesame candy! Mingyuanzhai&#39;s sesame candy can be pulled into half-meter-long threads, with layers of honey wrapped in a layer of sugar. When you bite into it, it crackles at first, then the honey fragrance melts in your mouth. It&#39;s sweet but not overpowering. It&#39;s said to have been a tribute during the Guangxu period.

- Chess-piece Sesame Cake: These palm-sized cakes are neatly arranged like chess pieces. The salty filling contains minced meat with a rich, lean texture, and the crust is baked to a crispy, crunchy finish. The sweet version is coated in brown sugar and sesame seeds and is perfect with tea. Mung Bean Cake: Made with peeled mung beans ground into powder and mixed with mint water, it melts in your mouth and leaves a refreshing coolness. A single piece in the summer is even more refreshing than ice cream.

Jujube Paste Cake: The pastry can be molded into eighteen layers, and the date paste filling is made with golden jujubes from Hedong, Tangshan. It has just the right balance of sweet and sour, and even those who don&#39;t like sweets can&#39;t resist grabbing a couple more.

The &quot;secret code&quot; of Tangshan locals: Authentic pastry.

After asking a local uncle I met in line, I learned that Mingyuanzhai has a secret recipe for enjoying pastries:

When buying sesame candy, choose freshly made that day. It&#39;s best if it&#39;s been stored at room temperature for at least three days, and it should be crispy and crackle when you bite it.

Chess-piece sesame cakes are a perfect match with mutton soup! Break up the sesame seed bun and dunk it in the soup. The crispy crust soaks up the broth, and the aroma of minced meat mingles with the flavor of lamb&mdash;this is a traditional Tangshan breakfast ritual.

Don&#39;t overbuy the mung bean cakes; they&#39;re freshest when eaten right now. If you really want to take them to go, ask the staff to vacuum-pack them for two extra days.

The most interesting thing about them is the packaging&mdash;the pastry box itself is wrapped in a blue cloth bag. Carrying one around Tangshan Banquet will turn heads even more than holding a popular milk tea. One young woman said, &quot;I only wanted to buy two boxes, but when I saw this wrapping, I immediately added it as a souvenir. My friends all say it has that old-school flavor!&quot;

A Hidden Route to Tangshan Banquet: Start Your &quot;Tour of Tangshan&quot; Experience at Mingyuanzhai

Mingyuanzhai isn&#39;t just a place to buy pastries; it&#39;s the starting point for your Tangshan Banquet experience:

- Start by buying a mung bean cake at Mingyuanzhai to fill your stomach and satisfy your hunger;

- Head to the second floor for a meat-filled chess piece sesame cake (yes, locals sandwich bacon with salty sesame cake);

- Before leaving, grab two boxes of sesame candy to pair with Tangshan Banquet&#39;s jar oven sesame cakes as souvenirs&mdash;a perfect sweet and savory combination.

Don&#39;t underestimate this small pastry shop; it embodies the Tangshan people&#39;s exquisite appreciation for sweetness: They avoid overly sweet additives, relying on the natural flavors of honey, jujube paste, and mung beans to captivate. Just like the city of Tangshan, it&#39;s genuine and heartwarming.

Practical Tip: Don&#39;t wait until you cry to find out.

- Address: East corner of the first floor of Tangshan Yan (follow the aroma; there&#39;s always a line as soon as it opens at 9 a.m.);

- Price: 30-50 yuan per person (bulk, weighed, budget-friendly; mix-and-match recommended);

- Hidden Bonus: Spend 50 yuan or more and receive a vintage pastry wrapper to wrap a piece of sesame candy and take a photo, saving you the hassle of Instagram posts;

- Pitfalls to Avoid: Avoid the &quot;fake sesame candy&quot; sold by the street vendors at the entrance. The master chef at Mingyuanzhai says that real sesame candy has a uniform honeycomb shape when broken open.

As I left, carrying my blue cloth bag, sunlight filtered through the wooden windows of Tangshan Yan, gracing the candy. I suddenly understood why they say, &quot;Eating Mingyuanzhai&#39;s pastries is like reliving a time in old Tangshan.&quot; Next time I come, I&#39;ll bring an empty suitcase&mdash;after all, who can resist such a sweet treat cloaked in sincerity? #LocalSnacks #FaceLovers&#39;FavouriteAfternoonTea #TryAnAuthenticOldBoutique
