Silver wire roll
Many people consider the silver wire roll to be a signature product of Tongheju. In fact, the traditional Lu restaurants in Beijing are sold. For example, Dongxing Building, Fortress Garden, Liuquan Residence.
In terms of eating and drinking, northerners have their own humor and taste.
Let's say that this silver silk roll is actually noodle pasta. As the saying goes, it's a steamed bun with noodles.
Combining these two common pasta dishes, it has a nice name: silver wire rolls, which is a culture of diet.
Interesting things are not necessarily useful, but life often needs these seemingly useless, but interesting things to decorate.
For example, playing the piano, painting, planting flowers, walking, changing a set of beautiful plates to fill their own meals. None of this may be useful, but it makes us happy and smile.

This silver wire roll may be the one who is idle and invented by a chef who has no time to do. There are silver wire rolls, and there are gold wire rolls. Silver wire rolls are steamed and gold wire rolls are baked.
Chefs who can make silver wire rolls are all noodle gods. Because of different shapes and thicknesses of noodles, the degree of fermentation is not the same. This silver wire roll is the ultimate, it should be a trace of white noodles inside. But if you don't do it well, it's a stick of noodles. Although it does not affect eating, the appearance value is greatly reduced.
Compared with the flower roll, the silver silk roll is like a Chinese garden, the willow is dark and the flowers are bright, gradually bright, changing and surprising. The flower rolls are too direct, like a large open kiln house, at a glance to the end. Therefore, cherish the person who orders silver wire rolls at the dinner table, must be a person who loves life and is full of fun.
Twist
Twist flowers are also snacks that are basically found everywhere from north to south.
Shaanxi, Shanxi, Tianjin, Hubei, Henan and Jiangsu have a long history of eating twist flowers. The biggest influence on Beijing is Tianjin Twist.
Tianjin twist is characterized by its large size. Although Beijingers go to Tianjin to buy twist flowers from 18th Street as souvenirs, they also like Beijing's own twist flowers.
Beijing twist flower has sweet and salty flavors, the volume is not as large as Tianjin, small and exquisite, crisp and delicious. There are various styles of steamed bun twist, sesame twist, honey twist, and crisp twist.

It seems that Beijingers have put more effort into twist flowers. Children eat as snacks, and adults eat as drinks and dishes. In the life of Beijingers, twist flowers are so versatile.
Chestnut cake
Qingming eats green dough, dragon boat eats zongzi, Mid-Autumn Festival eats mooncakes, and each traditional festival has a corresponding food for the scene. In Beijing, the Chongyang Festival requires flower cakes.
The method of flower cake is more complicated, and there are several theories. For example, glutinous rice and dates are steamed, and steamed chestnuts are added to the rice flour. There is also a kind of chestnut flour made, so it is also called chestnut cake.
This chestnut cake is the signature of Beijing Yishun Restaurant, and in 1997, it was included as a famous Chinese snack.
Its production process is complicated and exquisite.
After the chestnuts are cooked, peeled and thinly, cooled, and filled with sugar osmanthus paste. Red and yellow, bright and dazzling, sweet and not greasy.
There is also a court snack in Beijing called "chestnut noodle nest head", in fact, there are no chestnuts there, and the real chestnuts are chestnut cakes.
