松针蔡记蒸饺(花园路店)

It has been a long time since I last had Cai Ji steamed dumplings. This is Cai Ji's flagship store, called Songzhen Cai Ji. The environment is natural, but the business may not be very good. There was no barbecue that day, so I didn't eat the barbecue I wanted, but I ate delicious steamed dumplings.

This restaurant is located 50m north of the intersection of Huayuan Road and Huanghe Road. Songzhen Caiji Steamed Dumplings is one of the three major time-honored brands in Zhengzhou. This restaurant is the original Weiwu Road old store moved here. It is now called "Banquet Hall". The first floor is for individual guests, the second floor is for wedding banquets, and the third floor is for business private rooms.

I must recommend it when I'm at home. When you come to Zhengzhou, in addition to eating stewed noodles, you must try their steamed dumplings. The steamed dumplings are paved with pine branches, so there is a faint pine resin fragrance in the steamed dumplings, which is very unique and fragrant. The skin is very thin and tastes very good. Order another bowl, and their wonton will be even more delicious. Recommended

The first stop of the trip to Zhengzhou📍Originated from the imperial cuisine of Empress Dowager Cixi, which was the favorite of the imperial court✨Pine Needle Cai Ji Steamed Dumplings✨Founded in 1911, it is known as the only century-old brand among the "Three Old Ji" in Zhengzhou🥟 👘The Chinese-style decoration of the 3,000-square-meter classical garden interprets its implicitness and low-key. I went to taste the pine needle steamed dumplings that even the god of food Mr. Cai Lan praised as "the best dumplings I have ever tasted in my life". It is indeed well-deserved, with a unique flavor and a great reputation in the Central Plains! Must-eat when you come to Zhengzhou 📍50 meters north of the intersection of Huayuan Road and Huanghe Road, west of the road (Huayuan Road 61
