Li Datong de Shuang sesame seed cake
There are many famous snacks and cakes in Rui 'an, and the Li Datong Double Biscuit with a history of 100 years is even more famous. Under the leadership of Pan Jinxian, Secretary General of Wenzhou Cuisine Association, we specially visited Mr. Li Guancheng, the third generation descendant of Li Datong.
"The characteristics of double baked wheat cake are: thin, soft, tough, fragrant and sweet." Mr. Li broke the double baked wheat cake with his fingers and introduced its technology and history to us.
Sandwich a double sesame seed cake and chew it in your mouth. It tastes sweet, and glutinous rice is delicate, soft and tough. Don't underestimate, this small piece of cake has to go through more than a dozen processes to complete. "One of the processes requires glutinous rice and iron ore to be fried together, so that the double cooked cake is more fragrant." Mr. Li Lao said that the reason why it is called "white sugar double cooked cake" is because glutinous rice flour and white sugar are needed and cooked twice.
Li Datong Tea Restaurant was founded in the 14th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, and its founder Li Ruiqing was a famous pastry chef in southern Zhejiang in the late Qing Dynasty. Now we are engaged in double sesame cakes, flour tea cakes, hibiscus sugar, hollow moon, sesame and other tea cakes, and have won the honors of Chinese time-honored brands, Chinese famous snacks and Wenzhou well-known trademarks. Mr. Li Guancheng, the third generation successor, carries forward the "great spirit" and constantly innovates in taste and packaging. Over the years, tourists visiting relatives and friends in Wenzhou and Ruian have come to Li Datong to buy cakes and distribute them to relatives and friends.
Changren wonton
1930 or so, Chen Libiao, a native of Yueqing, manages wonton in Lankou, Tiejing, the urban area. He pays attention to quality, uses appropriate amount of alkali, has fresh fillings and exquisite materials, including laver, egg drop, pork floss and shrimp soaked in wine. The boiled wonton soup is bright and looks like a flower, delicious and refreshing. Because he is very tall, he is called the Dragon Wonton.
Moreover, decades ago, some people braved the cold at night to sell wonton. Passers-by are hungry and want to warm up (wonton is also very cheap), so sit down and try it. In this way, the wonton became famous for a long time. Time flies, and few people are selling it in the street now. Only in Ryan and other places can there be such a custom. Now, "Dragon Wonton" has laid a foundation in Wenzhou, created a brand and opened several branches!
