On the road to Hokke Town, there is a small shop called "Hokwa Soup Bun Restaurant", which specializes in various handmade soup buns. Open for nearly 20 years, this humble small shop, with its good taste, has become a good memory of many residents in the surrounding area, from snacks to large.
Because it is located on the road of Fahua Town, it is named "Fahua Soup Bun Restaurant". It has been based on "Nanjing soup buns", opened for nearly 20 years, and every meal is full of customers, and it is said that many celebrities come to visit.
Mr. Jiang, a citizen, told "Ning Ning" that he lived in the nearby Xianghuaqiao community, and the shop came to eat several times a week from snacks to large. "When I was a child, my grandmother brought me over to eat, and after so many years, the taste of the soup bun has not changed, and after I eat it, I am ready to pack a copy to bring to my grandmother."
Thin skin, large filling, and soup are the labels of this soup bun restaurant. All the soup buns in the shop are handmade, and the delicious filling is the key to the popularity of the soup buns. From the selection of ingredients, spices and mixing fillings, The Fahua Soup Bao Restaurant is experienced by the experienced teachers and masters, and the taste is very stable.
The skin of the soup bun is also very exquisite. When rolling the skin, the force should be just right, so that the rolled out skin can be thin and transparent at the same time not easy to break.
There are five flavors of soup buns in the shop, namely fresh broth buns, cabbage soup buns, crab powder soup buns, curry soup buns, and secret soup buns. A common feature of these soup buns is that they are delicious, and the soup inside eliminates the greasy feeling, which is both "clear" and "fresh", making people want to eat it.
Ning Ning's favorites are fresh broth buns and cabbage soup buns. The fresh broth is fresh in meat, and when you take a bite, there will be a full soup flowing into the mouth, and the filling is fresh and fragrant.
You can see the green color of the vegetables through the skin of the cabbage soup. It is filled with the sweetness of the cabbage, and although the soup is slightly less than the fresh broth, it has a unique refreshing taste.
Some people who eat soup buns for the first time, if they are not careful, will be splashed on their clothes by the soup juice if they bite down. In fact, there are also tricks to eating soup buns - first gently lift the soup buns, then take a small bite to drink the soup, and then you can enjoy it slowly. To this end, the wall next to each table in the store is plastered with an oil poem called "Soup Bun Eating Method", which is intimate and interesting.
The "best partner" of the soup bun is the old duck vermicelli soup in the store. The soup is boiled every day, there is not much seasoning taste, the soup color is milky white, full of umami. The ingredients in the soup are also very sufficient, duck gizzards, duck intestines, duck blood, oil and tofu are spread on the vermicelli, and the coriander is also put fresh (if you do not eat coriander, you can explain it to the store in advance), a bowl of belly, from the throat to the stomach are comfortable.
The small Fahua Soup Bao Restaurant carries the memories of many residents in the surrounding area. If you also like soup buns, you may wish to try them.
