The meal was both tasty and filling and the drink very refreshing ! I highly recommend this place
Chunfeng Songyuelou in Chenghuang Temple is famous for its freshly made steamed buns. I arrived at 7pm and there were not many people. I bought the special vegetarian buns, mushroom buns and sweet tangerine peel and red bean paste buns. I like the vegetable buns the most. The vegetables inside are moist and the flavor is just right. The bun skin is also very soft and plump.
Songyuelou was founded in Chenghuang Temple in 1910 and is famous for its vegetarian snacks and dishes. It has a history of more than 100 years and is a well-known old vegetarian restaurant in Shanghai. It is always crowded with customers every day. The classic raw material buns and signature pine nut mushroom steamed buns here have always been the favorite of vegetarians.
"Chunfeng Songyuelou" is located at the No. 5 entrance of Shanghai Old Town God Temple (Fangbang Middle Road). It is a Suzhou-style vegetarian restaurant with a comfortable and bookish atmosphere and decorated with Suzhou pavilions and towers. Today, we ordered vegetarian crab roe noodles, double mushroom noodles, and vegetarian mixed noodles, three servings of vegetarian noodles in three different flavors, and also took out mushroom and vegetable buns and siomai.
I happened to pass by and saw the vegetarian buns sold at the door, so I came in to take a look, and then I fell in love with the vegetarian noodles and the old-fashioned drinks. "Songyuelou Pure Vegetarian Buns (Signature)" are delicious, with a unique flavor, but a little expensive [covering face] "Songyue Vegetarian Crab Roe Mixed Noodles (Mixed Noodles)" Noodles can be added for free, but one portion is very large, basically enough to eat, the taste is not bad, slightly sweet, you need to pour all the vinegar in to neutralize it [Service bell] Service: Warm and thoughtful
Spring breezes bring prosperity to the blooming flowers at Songyuelou, a vegetarian restaurant. “The warm spring breeze embraces all things, the pine and moon are pure and untainted by dust.” This aptly captures the century-old Songyuelou, a model of Shanghai vegetarian restaurants renowned for its commitment to pure vegetarian cuisine. Parents love to check in at this state-owned restaurant, whose unique design mimics the lifelike forms of meat dishes. Now, tradition is also internationalizing. The new Chunfeng Songyuelou restaurant specializes in noodles, side dishes, and dim sum, and is a favorite among locals and international visitors. The restaurant is most famous for its "Non-Oil Vegetarian Mushroom Buns." Using premium all-purpose flour, the steamed buns are steamed with a non-sticky crust. The buns are made with Shanghai greens, Anhui mushrooms, homemade gluten, and local dried tofu, blended with vegetable oil and sesame oil. Half the filling is filled with vegetables, generously packed with vibrant greens. The dried tofu is fresh and white, while the mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms are pure black, fragrant with sesame oil and a sweet aftertaste. I always buy a box to take home. The vegetarian crab roe noodles, served in a crab-shaped container, are exquisitely elegant. The crab roe's golden color reveals the "crab paste and crab roe," a striking resemblance in form and meaning. Add the crab vinegar and stir vigorously until the vegetarian crab roe and noodles are thoroughly blended, leaving each noodle with a subtle crab aroma. A bite reveals the chewy noodles, while the crab roe is crispy and tender. The crunchy texture and savory flavor rival those of real crab roe, and paired with the crab vinegar, it's practically indistinguishable from the real thing. This nutritious traditional local delicacy is a delight for all ages.
