Dishes
Cold Brew Yogurt TanghuluCold Brew Yogurt Tanghulu is an innovative dessert made by skewering fresh fruits like hawthorn, strawberries, or grapes, then coating them evenly with a thick layer of cold brew yogurt mixed with a small amount of syrup. The preparation involves washing and skewering the fruits, then applying the yogurt—which has undergone long-term low-temperature fermentation—to achieve the right consistency. The coated skewers are briefly chilled to set. The result features a mildly sweet and rich yogurt shell encasing juicy, tangy fruits, offering a multi-layered texture.
Sand Honey Sweet PotatoSand-baked sweet potato is a dish made primarily from high-quality sweet potatoes. After washing, the potatoes are baked or steamed in sand, resulting in a soft, sticky, and sweet texture. Minimal seasoning is used to preserve the natural flavor of the sweet potato.
Caramelized Qianxi ChestnutsSugar-stir-fried Qianxi chestnuts is a Chinese dish using Qianxi chestnuts as the main ingredient. Chestnuts are stir-fried with rock sugar to absorb sweetness, becoming fragrant and soft. Proper heat control ensures even cooking, with slightly charred skin and tender interior.
Classic Suzhou-style Mung Bean SoupClassic Suzhou-style Mung Bean Soup is a traditional summer dessert originating from the Suzhou region. The main ingredients are mung beans, rock sugar, and water. To prepare, the mung beans are first washed and soaked, then boiled with water over high heat before simmering over low heat until the beans split and become tender. Rock sugar is added for sweetness and cooked until fully dissolved. The finished soup has a clear, slightly green broth with whole yet melt-in-the-mouth beans, offering a refreshingly sweet taste. It is best served chilled and is a common homemade drink during summer.
Strawberry Candy ApplesStrawberry Tanghulu is made primarily with fresh strawberries, which are skewered on bamboo sticks and coated with boiled syrup. Once the syrup cools and solidifies, it forms a transparent, crisp shell. During preparation, the temperature of the syrup must be carefully controlled to ensure an even outer shell that is not easily broken.
