Rugao's almost extinct shrimp pond and oil pier are hidden in this alley...

Rugao is about to lose its old taste, in the memory of Rugao people, shrimp pond oil pier is the warm existence of childhood.

Next to the Centennial Garden, there is a humble stall, no façade, no signboard, a pot, an operating table, and the old couple has been dry for more than 20 years. According to the grandfather, now Rugao is left with their family doing this, and every afternoon as long as the stall is out, it is full of people. Both young and old will be conquered by this "taste of childhood". Don't look at the small place, the production is not sloppy at all, the shrimp pond is handmade, the average few minutes out of a pot, quite a test of hand speed! The price of the shrimp pond is not expensive, 4 yuan a piece, a spoonful of batter and a handful of fresh shrimp, real materials. In auntie's constant tumbling, stereotyping in the appearance of the crispy shrimp pond can be out of the pan, fried and dried on the shelf, golden color, just look, saliva has spread to the corners of the mouth. The old two are very enthusiastic, busy at the same time, while worryingly, "urging" guests to seize the time to taste. "Just fried to taste the best, put it for a long time will not be crispy!"
