At that time, the declaration said: The XinghuaLou on the Fourth Road is famous for Cantonese cuisine, and the Cantonese-style mooncakes produced are particularly popular among the population

Xinghualou was founded in 1851, the earliest time was only a supper shop with only one open façade, specializing in Cantonese desserts and porridge, and later because of the change of boss, Xinghualou also changed shotguns for cannons, renamed Xinghualou Restaurant, and also expanded and decorated the façade, and the building is also quite Cantonese. After the Xinhai Revolution, Xinghualou was transformed into a joint-stock company, and the storefront was further expanded, turning the original house into a reinforced concrete building with a seven-bay façade. It is said that in 1934, the Shanghai Declaration also reported on the Xinghua Building: xinghualou on the fourth road, a famous Cantonese cuisine expert, with delicious cooking, thoughtful hospitality, and internal layout, which was particularly rich.

Xinghualou operates a variety of dishes and dim sum, most of which are famous products in Cantonese cuisine, such as chicken in green onion oil, goo meat, etc., and is also very good at boiling snakes, rabbits, pigeons, pheasants, ducks and other wild game. However, the Shanghai declaration also said that year, "The XinghuaLou on the Fourth Road, known for its good management of Cantonese cuisine, well-known throughout the country, and the Cantonese-style mooncakes made every year, are particularly popular among the population." "Therefore, the real sign of The Apricot Blossom Building is actually its mooncake." It is said that the mooncakes of Xinghualou have landed in Shanghai for nearly a hundred years and have always enjoyed a high reputation. Its mooncakes are uniform in color, clear in print, thin in skin and rich in filling, crispy and delicious, and the ingredients are very exquisite, among which the traditional bean paste, lotus yun, coconut paste, and five kernels have become the "four big Kongs" in the apricot blossom building. However, in the past two years, many people think that the Wuren mooncake is a torture of the sense of taste, and hope that the Wuren mooncake will leave the mooncake circle round, so the Wuren mooncake in the apricot blossom building is good or not, or you have to taste it yourself, hey, I don't know who Wuren has offended!
