Hangzhou Restaurant

This is a well-known local restaurant and a place to enjoy Hangzhou cuisine. Recommended dishes include Longjing Shrimp, their signature Steamed Pumpkin, Silk Tofu, Deep-fried Crispy Rolls, Clear Soup Fish Balls, and Hangzhou Three Delicacies. The menu is not extensive, and the prices are relatively high.

Longxiang Stinky Tofu

It is said that this is a 22-year-old shop. The stinky tofu is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the fried rice cake has a crispy exterior and a soft, glutinous interior.

Youbu Soy Milk

A legendary soy milk and fried dough stick shop in Hangzhou, highly recommended by local friends. The soy milk contains chopped fried dough sticks, small shrimps, and other seasonings, making it very delicious.

Yuquan Campus Fourth Canteen, Zhejiang University

A bowl of scallion oil noodles with an egg, or even double yolk, is fantastic. The noodles are very fragrant, and the scallion oil flavor is particularly strong. The scallion fried bun has a large meat filling but is not greasy.

FamilyMart (Wensan Road Store)

A FamilyMart convenience store, discovered to be themed around Fox Spirit Matchmaker. The Fox Spirit Matchmaker theme is super likable, highly recommended.
