I had nothing to do in the morning and brought my kids here for breakfast. Although the hot dried shreds in Hemanlou were not hand-cut, they tasted really good and were no worse than those in Yangzhou. The soup of the fish noodle soup was very good, but the noodles were a little dry and hard.
The dishes were served very quickly. Today's buns and steamed dumplings were not as soft as before. It felt like they were steamed first and then heated, so the outer skin was hard and the inside was bubbly.
The service was very good, and Longjing tea was worth buying a cup. It was also a pleasure to taste it carefully with noodles.

The old-fashioned morning tea is in line with the characteristics of Jiangnan. The service is a bit chaotic, and it is a headache every time I find a seat. "Zhenjiang Yaorou" is good, the taste is very good, and the taste is the same as in Zhenjiang. "Fish Soup Wonton" The soup is a little salty, the meat filling is well seasoned, salty and fresh, the soup is milky white, good. "Big Boiled Dried Silk" is very distinctive and tastes very good. Recommended. "Shrimp Roe Wonton" The black pepper taste is heavier, the shrimp roe is relatively small, and it is not tasted. The overall taste is good. Each snack is good, the portion is also good, you can buy a set meal to save money, very distinctive, but there will be a lot of people on Saturdays and Sundays, you can go early.
He Man Lou: I woke up naturally in the morning and had a hearty Huaiyang-style morning tea. I ordered a set meal for 4 people, Gaoyou dry noodles, shrimp wontons, hand-scalded dried bean curd, Yangzhou kidney soup, miscellaneous items, shrimp steamed dumplings, and crab soup dumplings. The portion was super rich, all starchy, and 4 girls couldn't finish it at all. It is recommended to order a few representative dishes. Crab soup dumplings, hot soup, but not much crab roe, only a little bit. Hot dried bean curd is a traditional local snack in Yangzhou and Taizhou, Jiangsu, and one of the famous morning tea dishes. It looks like noodles, but it is actually shredded white dried bean curd. Soft and refreshing. Shrimp steamed dumplings, the dumplings are very large, with shrimp inside, and the skin is a bit thick. Yangzhou kidney soup with dry noodles is also a perfect match for morning tea.
"Skin wrapped in water in the morning, skin wrapped in water in the evening" The representative of food is morning tea. A cup of fragrant tea in the morning, Delicious food can be without meat, and elegance is hard to be without me. Morning tea is about this slow "leisure". With a cup of tea in hand and two or three close friends in front of you, that leisure is missed in this "busy" era. So don't rush to have morning tea, take your time, so that you can savor the taste. 『Shrimp Roe Wonton』 Wontons are eaten with red soup, lard and shrimp soy sauce are indispensable, the dough must be refined flour and egg white, kneaded with alkaline water, and the filling is mixed with shrimp and sesame oil. The soup is important, and the taste will be better if shrimp is added from bone soup. 『Crab Roe Soup Dumpling』 The crab roe soup dumpling skin is as thin as paper, the eating method is unique, and the ingredients are exquisite. Don't look at it collapsed on the plate, but if you use chopsticks to lift it carefully, a magical scene will appear - the soup dumpling instantly turns into a "small lantern". Through the light, you can even see the soup shaking inside! There is a saying called "open the window first, then drink the soup", because 85% of the soup dumpling is soup, and the rest is crab roe and crab meat. Insert the straw into the bun, wait for the heat to dissipate a little, and then suck the soup in small sips. The gelatin of the meat skin jelly makes the soup sticky and rich in meat flavor. The remaining part is thin and soft, and you can dip it in some balsamic vinegar and ginger, and the freshness of the crab flavor is also fully stimulated. 『Thousand Layer Cake』 The cake is a diamond-shaped square, hibiscus color, translucent, with layers of sugar and oil, and the cake surface is covered with red and green silk. It looks fresh and pleasing to the eye, and it tastes soft and sweet. 『Scalded Dried Silk』 Add ingredients, thousands of silk piles, copper pipes lie long seedlings, and liquor and water dishes. It looks light, smells fragrant, and tastes refreshing. This is the unique flavor of hot dried silk. 『Rice meat』 The lean meat is red, tender, crispy, and fragrant, the fat meat is glutinous but not greasy, smooth and crystal clear, and the braised jelly is transparent. [Heart] The morning tea time is only until 12 o'clock. If you like it, you must go early, don't miss it
"Morning tea", come to Hemanlou again! "Shrimp Steamed Dumplings", full and bulging crescent shape, the soup overflows when bitten, the whole shrimp is wrapped in the meat filling, very chewy. "Big Boiled Dried Shredded Vegetables", fragrant rice, the dried shredded vegetables are full of juice, especially tender. "Shrimp Roe Wontons", secret shrimp roe soy sauce, fresh millet green onions, fragrant meat oil and pepper, color, aroma and taste, wonton skin is thin and filling is delicious! "Pine Nut Shaomai", the Shaomai skin is tough, the Shaomai rice grains are distinct, not greasy at all!
The ancients said: With a fortune of 100,000 taels, you can ride a crane to Yangzhou. Now, you don't need to be rich to go to Yangzhou to taste the food! There is such an old shop in Nanjing. The exquisite and authentic Yangzhou morning tea allows you to taste the rare tranquility and comfort in life in a slow time! "Why sleep in? Get up and have morning tea!" [Boiled dried shredded vegetables] Pour boiling water on the cut dried shredded vegetables, put them on a plate after a while, shaped like a jade tower, and then decorated with ginger. It tastes warm, beautiful and non-aggressive. [Steamed shrimp dumplings] The pieces are super big, and the folds are neat and beautiful! The shrimp filling is very thick and slightly sweet aftertaste. The dumpling skin is chewy and chewy, and paired with the spicy oil in the store, the taste is impressive! [Thousand-layer oil cake] Diamond-shaped pieces, hibiscus color, translucent, distinct layers, sweet and delicious, just like the graceful ladies in Jiangnan. "Hemanlou" No. 17 Danfeng Street
Get up early to have a Huaiyang morning tea: 6:30~13:30 is the time period for morning tea in the store. When I went there, I waited for about 10 minutes for a seat. Shrimp roe wonton: The soy sauce soup base is added with shrimp roe, the soup is very delicious, the wonton skin is thin and the filling is full, and the amount of one portion is substantial, which reminds me of the shrimp roe wonton I ate in Jiangjiaqiao, Yangzhou. Steamed dumplings with shrimp: soft dumpling skin, whole shrimp plus solid meat filling, a steamed dumpling with juicy and fresh. Thousand-layer oil cake: a traditional snack in Yangzhou, translucent thousand-layer cake, with distinct layers, soft and sweet, sugar and oil alternate, tearing it layer by layer to eat, it has a unique taste. Boiled dried shredded silk: one of the must-order dishes for morning tea, the blanched dried shredded silk is poured with specially prepared marinade sesame oil, served with shredded ginger and dried shrimps and garnished with coriander, which is pleasing to the eye and has a soft and tender taste.
Speaking of which, Nanjing people don't seem to be as enthusiastic about sitting down for morning tea as people in Yangzhou, Taizhou and other places. Maybe it's because the pace of life is faster? ? Everyone likes quick and portable steamed buns, fried dough sticks, rice balls, etc. In recent years, it has been better. After similar morning tea shops have become famous, some people have tried them. Hemanlou is one of the shops with a relatively large customer flow. I have personally brought friends to eat here several times. There are two stores in total, one on Fuguo Road and the other on Danfeng Street. Generally, the flow of people in the morning is not bad. I ate at Danfeng Street on a weekend before and found that the store was mainly elderly people. I came to Fuguo Road twice and the age distribution was relatively young. Oh, by the way, they also make formal table meals. The Huaiyang-style cuisine is quite suitable for family gatherings. In morning tea, I personally prefer shrimp roe wontons. The soup tastes good. A bowl is cheap and solid! The hot dried shredded vegetables are tender and can be eaten with the sauce. Even I, who don't like soy products, can eat it. I can also eat one pine nut siu mai! My friends love their thousand-layer cakes and steamed dumplings.
