Xinfeng snacks

Hangzhou old brand breakfast shop. Inside the shop, you can find breakfast items such as shrimp dumplings and shrimp wonton, while outside the shop, there are sweet donuts and steamed buns for takeout.

It is said that this shop sells over a thousand bowls of wonton every day, and the taste has remained the same for over thirty years. The shrimp filling in the wonton is plump and the flavor exceeds expectations. It is highly recommended with great value for money at only 7 yuan per bowl!

Vegetarian meal at Faxi Temple

A portion of temple vegetarian meal is not much, similar to the amount of a spoonful in a university cafeteria. It mainly consists of Chinese cabbage, with a small amount of soy products. Perhaps this temple has been only serving this dish for many years, and its flavor is quite impressive. It is a great side dish and highly recommended!
