Gao Laotai Creamy Xiaopan, Shaoxing egg tarts, an old lady in her eighties has been making this egg tart for more than 60 years. It ranks second among Shaoxing noodle snacks. It has a unique taste and a light taste. Just eat one.

I was thinking about this place when I came to Shaoxing, so I went there at around 7:30 pm to give it a try. Fortunately, it was not closed. "Cream Pan" was 4 yuan each. When I was given it, they said it was freshly baked and still hot. I prefer egg tarts to egg tarts. The cream was very sweet, and the egg part was tasteless, which was just enough to neutralize it. The bottom was too hard. I couldn't bite it apart.

In Shaoxing, the most famous "Xiao Pan" is the small stall of Mrs. Gao. A worn white wooden board leans against a small commodity store, with large red and black characters on it, which is very eye-catching. There is no old lady, only a couple in their fifties who manage the shop and "Xiao Pan". They claim to be the descendants of Mrs. Gao. There are several khaki "Xiao Pan" arranged in the glass cover on the wooden table behind the sign. Because there is not too much cream, the appearance is not as bright and shiny as Western pastries. This is the simplicity and health of the fusion of Chinese and Western baking. The hot "Xiao Pan" is not easy to eat in my hand. The boss lady asked me to hold it flat. Later, I understood what she meant, because the juice inside flowed down when my wrist was tilted. It seems that this is the uniqueness of Mrs. Gao. I have tried the "Xiao Pan" in other stores, and there is not so much juice. So it doesn't look good when you eat it. The egg white and cream fill your mouth as soon as you take a bite. It's sweet but not greasy, very smooth. The filling is soft and yellow, with the sweetness of the fruit pulp. When you chew it with the crispy "disc" on the outside, you don't feel greasy, but you can't eat too much. The two girls next to me were already eating quite badly, and they even asked the boss lady for water to wash their hands. It's a magical traditional dessert that combines Chinese and Western elements.

Following the directions in the guide, I found Gao's Cream Xiaopan. The shop didn't look like a popular online snack shop, more like a run-down grocery store. Since I just wanted to try the cream Xiaopan, I didn't care. To be honest, I had never heard of Xiaopan before coming to Shaoxing, but since it's considered a Shaoxing specialty dessert, I had to try it. The fact that it's called a Chinese egg tart only looks similar; the taste is definitely not as good as it. The top layer is made with egg whites, which has an eggy smell and is overly sweet. Gao said that if you chew it together with the middle layer, it won't be as sweet, and it's true. The outer crust was too hard and thick, which I didn't like. Anyway, it's good to know what it tastes like once, and I won't be having it again.

I'd heard of this little shop, so I made a point of looking for it during my visit to the Lu Xun Hometown Scenic Area. [Mint] Ambience: The location is easy to find, just a two-minute walk from the Starbucks store in Lu Xun's hometown. It's a small shop, and the advertising slogan is full of nostalgia. Xiao Pan: Known as the "Chinese Egg Tart," it's a taste of Shaoxing's childhood. The "Cream Xiao Pan" is 4 yuan each and was slightly warm when I took it out. I took a bite, and I'm not sure how to describe the taste; it had a hint of egg white and was a bit sweet. So I went back to the cafe and bought a cup of coffee to wash it down, but I still couldn't finish the whole thing. Perhaps as a tourist, I can't appreciate this nostalgia. Fortunately, at 4 yuan, it's still acceptable.

Cream Xiaopan, similar to egg tarts, is a specialty snack in Shaoxing. Many people in Shaoxing have enjoyed it since childhood and it's a childhood memory. For the most authentic cream Xiaopan, head to the entrance of Lu Xun's hometown on Xinjian South Road. Located at 608 Xinjian South Road, Gao Laotai's Cream Xiaopan is a well-known shop in Shaoxing. This shop has been serving cream Xiaopan for over 50 years. It's small but easy to find. A piece of cream pancake costs 5 yuan. It can be divided into 3 parts. The white part on the top looks like cream, but it is not actually cream. It is made from beaten egg whites. It tastes very sweet. You can even feel the sugar particles when tasting it alone. If you see water oozing out, remember to suck it up quickly or it will make your hands sticky. The middle part is soft yellow, which should be crushed grains. The taste is relatively light. If you eat it together with the upper white part, the taste is just right. The bottom is equivalent to one, which is quite crispy and can be eaten. The cream pancake should be eaten while it is hot. It has a relatively soft texture, so it is not recommended to take it home or buy more. I felt a little greasy after eating one. Just taste the taste of old Shaoxing.

The first cream pie shop in the ancient city of Shaoxing Cream pie, a Shaoxing specialty, is a must-try. In Lu Xun's hometown, cream pie can be found everywhere, some selling for 5 yuan each, others for 10 yuan each. It's always a good idea to look for a time-honored brand, even if it's tucked away on a side street. A small shop run by an elderly woman. Cream pie is 3 yuan each, two for 5 yuan. Wrapped in white oil paper, it resembles a tart, with a crispy exterior and a filling made of beaten flour and egg yolks. It's slightly sweet, not particularly delicious, but it evokes a sense of nostalgia, just like the special snacks you must try in many places. The taste of Shaoxing, a tradition spanning over half a century. Buying memories, eating the aftertaste.
