Near the Dragon Boat Festival, Wuhan blew up the wind to go to "Cao Xiangtai" to buy mung bean cake, and in the fourth year of Wuhan, I only heard the sound of the wind, and I did not taste it myself, and I was even unwilling. I thought about taking advantage of this time to taste some pastries and traditional Hubei snacks from Wuhan. (Because I pinch my fingers, lately I've been a bit short of sweetness...) Need to make up)
My expectation of pastries is that they will be very sweet! After all, I have roughly figured out the eating habits of Wuhan people, heavy oil, salty and heavy carbs, and the pastry will definitely add a lethal amount of sugar without showing weakness. (I guess)
Will the pastries in Wuhan have a sweetness that strikes the soul? Come and taste it
1. Cao Xiangtai mung bean cake
Every year around the Dragon Boat Festival, Wuhan will go to Cao Xiangtai to buy mung bean cake, which is really a veritable old brand.
Most of the shop is full of old-fashioned pastries, but on the day I went, I saw the uncles and aunts who came into the store carrying mung bean cakes.
This small box is eleven and a half, why give me half of it? I don't know! There may be his waywardness in it....
The appearance looks really not good, the surface lines are not very clear, see a lot of particles on it, the skin is potholed, carry it home, several are cracked!
Hurry up and taste this old Internet celebrity!
The entrance felt slimy, and immediately a burst of sweetness struck. (The sweetness didn't disappoint me!) Although the taste is not delicate and can be chewed to a grainy feeling, this filling may not also give too much! Look at its excellent cross-section...
Ah, said good mung bean cake, the result is actually red bean filling, can there be this operation?
But this full filling is enough to see the full sincerity of the old Wuhan dim sum, and the roughness of the red bean filling inside is comparable to the crust, which makes me believe that this filling is also made by themselves. Although the bean paste is sweet, it is not yet to the point where the teeth are trembling, and even a trace of the fragrance of red beans can be tasted.
But it is still recommended that everyone eat with a bowl of strong tea to relieve the grease, afternoon tea to a piece of mung bean cake with a bowl of strong tea, and old friends to kill a game of Go, this may be the most comfortable afternoon in old Wuhan!

2. Yellowstone Harbor Cake
Hong Kong cake is not a pastry, it should be a small snack~
The first time I ate this cake, my roommate from Yellowstone brought it to us from home (by my mother's head). I had only eaten black sesame flavor before, but this time I also bought pepper flavor.
The top of the cake is covered with a layer full of white sesame seeds, and when you open the bag, you can smell the cake and sesame seeds. It is very crisp to bite, and if you break it, you can still hear the sound of breaking.
Also!
The outer crust is actually very thin, but the filling inside can be pressed very firmly.
As soon as the black sesame flavor is opened, the aroma of black sesame seeds can be received most directly, and then the sweetness is felt, and the taste of some osmanthus flowers is slowly tasted.
And the smell of pretzels, the faint saltiness of opening the bag, and the aroma of pretzels. The taste is not as sweet as that of black sesame seeds, but the salty and sweet taste coexist, and this salty taste is quite rich. The taste of pepper accounts for the majority, and you can also taste a little bit of fennel, at the last moment of chewing, the sweetness will come out again, and it is not surprising that the salty and sweet come out at the same time, wonderful!
3. Dwarf pie
With the ugliest packaging, but let the old ladies in Wuhan line up the longest, this is the dwarf pie.
Every time he arrived at the door of the division, each time he was persuaded to retreat by the long line at the door of the dwarf pie. This time I went to buy it, specially picked a weekday afternoon, and luckily only queued for fifteen minutes!
There are many flavors in it, but depending on the time of baking and the situation on sale, it is possible that some flavors will not be able to buy them when they are sold out.
I bought four flavors this time, osmanthus flower, coconut milk, black sesame seeds, and pepper salt.
On top of each one were full of white sesame seeds, perhaps Titian's. The crust is so crispy that when you take out the cake, the slag will fall to the ground. But the scum is so delicious! Be sure to use your hands to protect the slag that has fallen down and pour it into your mouth!
The crust must be added to the lard to be crispy, how can the combination of fat and carbs not be delicious.
The filling is transparent, soft and sticky, with different spices added according to different fillings.
Black sesame seeds, you can eat the whole granules of black sesame seeds, the taste is sweeter.
The coconut milk flavor is a faint milk fragrance, and the sweet and greasy taste of coconut minced coconut.
The smell of osmanthus can obviously smell the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and it is also sweeter.
The pretzel flavor stands out among these sweet cakes, and when you bite the cake, you can smell full of pretzel, and when you eat it, it tastes salty and salty, and with the soft texture of the filling, you immediately dissolve the sweetness in your mouth before.
Wang Yuxia is known as an authentic pastry shop of the Han School, and as an old-fashioned pastry shop, she has opened several branches in Wuhan, indicating that there are still many Wuhan people who like the traditional old taste.
4. Vintage vanilla cake
The old-fashioned cake, surrounded by a layer of paper, has the old-fashioned feeling
And the cake is still freshly baked and sold, no other additives are added, open the box to smell a good strong egg aroma, the cake taste fluffy, eat soft and fragrant!
Poke it, pia will press down ~ super soft!
5. Chima crisp
Kima Crispy! Don't get me wrong, it's not Sachima! Both of them have similar names and shapes, and I was confused when I first saw them haha! It turns out that these are two completely different things!
It was not easy to take a piece of Chima crisp out of the box, its surface was all sweet syrup, and it was closely attached to its other siblings.
These are small balls one by one (looks a bit like peanut rice, but it's not.) It's the product of flour frying, and when it's fried, the little flour dough says, "I'm so hot!" I'm going to swell! "So these little balls bulged up, and there were a lot of small pores in them, so it wasn't solid. The fried flour balls are tightly connected with syrup, which is like a heat bomb!
When you just bite it, it is still crunchy, slowly the sweetness of the syrup begins to spread in the mouth, and the feeling of chewing slowly changes from crisp to sticky teeth, the more chewed, the more tightly the flour ball presses on the teeth...
6 white focal cuts
Although Jiao Che is cloaked in a layer of white sesame seeds, his essence is sugar! It smells a little bit of the kraft candy I ate as a child, and it also has the aroma of maltose. Take a bite and put it in your mouth, let the sugar melt slowly, and the pure sweetness of the sugar sesame flavor also slowly comes out.
7. Hemp baking cake
Of these pastries, I think the most flavorful is the hemp baked cake!
Smell is fried rice flavor, chew open when the mouth always has a faint sticky rice fragrance in the mouth, its sweetness is not directly hit the soul of the sweet, is around the bend, there is a sense of sweetness, to the last moment to swallow it, will also taste a bit, just taste good and rich Oh! Wonderful!
8. Happy cake
I was intrigued to see several old-fashioned pastry shops selling this kind of cake. Isn't this something that used to be eaten at a banquet, and it looks like an old-fashioned big mooncake, why are there so many places selling it now?
The outer skin of the cake is very fluffy, and the filling inside is rich and rich. Although it looks very grainy, it is unexpectedly soft and soft to eat, and it has a refreshing fragrance, so it is no wonder that it can be sold until now, and it should be completely poking at the taste of the older generation.
;) replenished a lot of sugar in one go! (This show is broadcast under the title of insulin... No, cough)
June Day is coming, children, will you try nostalgic pastries and snacks?
