Hufang Qiao Jin Sanjie Ai Wo Wo used to be a royal pastry

Many of the delicacies of Hufang Qiaojin are handed down before, among which there is a kind of food called Aiwowo, which is said to have been handed down since the Ming Dynasty, according to historical records: on the eighth day of the first month of April, it can not fall into the clip, with reed leaf square glutinous rice, which can be three or four inches long and one inch wide, and the taste is the same as the rice dumplings. Why did this ordinary snack become a delicacy in The Famous Earthquake City? This has to mention the legend that has been circulating in folklore.

I believe that many old Beijing have heard that Aiwowo and the Chuxiu Palace in the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty have a very close connection, and at that time, a person who worked as a eunuch in the Forbidden City said that the empresses and concubines who lived in the Chuxiu Palace of the Imperial Palace ate the taste of mountains and treasures every day, and felt that they had eaten tired of eating. One day, a Hui cook brought a halal snack From home, Aiwowo, who was often eaten, and was found by the palace maid to taste a bite, and actually felt that it was very delicious, so he brought some to the queen, and he did not expect that the queen was very happy to eat.

Soon, the Hui cooks were arranged to make Ai wo wo for the empress and concubines of Chuxiu Palace, which was greatly appreciated, not only good looking, but also sweet. This halal snack soon spread in the Forbidden City, and suddenly won the favor of the imperial relatives and nobles, and became a royal pastry of the imperial palace, and was famous in the capital.

Later, after continuous development, this kind of cuisine, which was still a royal pastry, has spread among the people. Among the traditional snacks of Hufang Qiaojin, Aiwowo also has a certain weight, after all, this is a snack handed down from old Beijing, which is enough to explain its charm after a long time. When you want to eat authentic Aiwowo, you still have to find a reliable long-established brand, so as to ensure the traditional and authentic taste.
