GENG FU XING Review

**Geng Fuxing: A taste epic of Jiangcheng cooked in a century-old stove** Founded in 1888, Geng Fuxing has built a living museum of Anhui cuisine in Wuhu Fenghuang Food Street with bluestone counters, eight-immortal square tables and mottled copper hanging pots. This time-honored shop, which carries the taste memories of three generations of Jiangcheng people, uses steaming steam to refine the food culture of southern Anhui into nostalgia on the tip of the tongue. **Shrimp roe noodles: the most delicious aesthetics gifted by the Yangtze River** At five in the morning, the master chef began to boil the bone soup - the eel bones and tube bones were rolled in the pottery pot for eight hours, and the Yangtze River shrimp roe was sprinkled in when the soup was milky white. The thin noodles fell neatly into the bowl, and when the soup was poured, the shrimp roe floated with the heat wave, like stars falling into the Milky Way. The moment you take a bite, the salty fragrance of the river fresh and the mellowness of the bone soup burst on the tip of your tongue, and with a spoonful of secret spicy oil, it is like the river water stirring the rocks, awakening the "river fresh worship" in the genes of Wuhu people. ** Crispy sesame cake: the time and space code tempered by charcoal fire** In front of the open stall facing the street, the master holds a long tong to turn the sesame cake, and the charcoal fire of the old furnace reflects the vicissitudes of life on his face. Lard and chives are kneaded into the dough, sprinkled with sesame seeds and baked against the wall of the furnace. When it comes out of the oven, the crispy skin is as white as snow. The moment you bite it open, the fragrance of onion and burnt aroma gushes out, and the crispness and softness symphony between your teeth. The power of a century of inheritance is all hidden in this three-fold and nine-kneading process. With a bowl of red bean wine, it is sweet and refreshing, which is the soul of Jiangcheng morning tea. ** Crab roe soup dumplings: Jiangnan quatrains with fragrance on your fingers** The golden ratio of crab roe and pork mince is now opened, and the master uses 32 folds to lock it into the thin dough. When it is lifted and moved slowly, the soup shakes like amber in the skin, and a sip of it is so fresh that it makes your eyebrows fall. Amid the chatter of old tea drinkers by the window, waiters shuttled back and forth with steamers. When the wooden tray was opened, white mist rolled up, and it seemed as if I had returned to the bustling morning light of Dajiaxiang during the Guangxu period. From the stalls of Dajiaxiang in the Qing Dynasty to the intangible cultural heritage protection unit today, Geng Fuxing used the boiling years in the copper hanging pot to stew the Jianghu spirit, wharf soul, and Jiangnan charm of Wuhu into a bowl of vivid city memory.

Whenever my friends from other places come to visit, we always go to the main store in the food court. The three-piece set of soup dumplings, shrimp noodles and boiled dried shredded vegetables is served. Of course, one portion is crab roe and the other is pure meat. In addition, there is also jade siu mai, which is also very refreshing. The fragrant sesame balls, crisp spring rolls, and my favorite steamed pork with rice flour are delicious and very satisfying.

This is a local Chinese time-honored store. I like the noodles here the most. The portion is very big and the soup is delicious! The snacks here are also very delicious and the portion is moderate. Many people come to eat here! !

This is the most important food street in Wuhu. Phoenix Food Street. There are many delicious foods here. There are many well-known restaurants. It mainly serves local snacks, Anhui cuisine and Sichuan cuisine. Speaking of local snacks, this is the most famous one. This restaurant not only has a long history. It is also a famous restaurant of the Ministry of Commerce. You can see many honors on the wall of the restaurant. The business here is very good. There are many guests at noon. Of course, the price of the meal is a little more expensive than the surrounding stores. Since the overall price in Wuhu is not high. So it should be said that the prices here are still acceptable. And there is Anhui Normal University nearby. So there are many students on weekends. If you come here for tourism or business, it is recommended to come here to taste it.

This time I took the high-speed train to Wuhu for a meeting. Fortunately, the person sitting next to me was a local of Wuhu - a female doctor. I felt that she was quite knowledgeable about food (hahaha). She enthusiastically introduced me to the various local delicacies, which attracted me to the place even before I arrived. Among them are the shrimp roe noodles of this time-honored brand (so delicious and fragrant! Well-deserved reputation!), jade siu mai, and crab roe buns. I followed the map and had a full meal. They were all so delicious. The filling of the buns was a little sweet. I, a pure northerner, also loved it. Next to this old store is a fried stinky tofu (Yu Yu Fang stinky tofu, which was also recommended by her). The tofu is white, freshly fried, and poured with sweet sauce. I personally feel that it tastes better than the stinky tofu in Nanjing Confucius Temple, but I don’t know how long the oil has been used. Thanks to that enthusiastic and lovely female doctor! (I have eaten at all the places you told me, and it was worth the trip, haha)

It can be said to be the most famous restaurant in Wuhu. Its delicacies have been featured in the "A Bite of China". It is especially famous for its shrimp noodles, steamed dumplings, red-skinned duck and crispy sesame cakes. We ordered all these snacks and they tasted really good! The only drawback is that there are too many diners and it is a bit crowded. If the environment is improved, it will be perfect.

A Bite of China 2 brought me to Geng Fuxing, a century-old restaurant in Wuhu. The decoration and service of this state-owned time-honored brand are remarkable. The cashier aunt is very patient and meticulous. Most people order "shrimp noodles" in the store. I also wanted to order salted duck, but it was sold out before 10 am, so I ordered Fuxing smoked fish and stinky tofu. The price was a bit higher of course, but the taste was still good. The "small bowl" of shrimp noodles overturned the previous concept of small bowls in noodle shops, haha!
