My first impression of Datong was Long Juxiang. It was a bit late when I got off the train. I saw the Aegean Shopping Park across the street and hurried over to find something to eat. Because I arrived late, I was the last table of the day. I took advantage of the kitchen to order before the fire was turned off and ate until the mall closed.
From the name of the store, you can tell that siomai must be indispensable. There are four in a basket and they are particularly large, with plenty of fillings. It’s a pity that you can’t order them individually, and there is no "family portrait" with one flavor for each. Otherwise, it would be better to try more siomai of different flavors at once.
Another special one is sea buckthorn. I only drank sea buckthorn juice before. Here, the snow pear is scooped into small balls and mixed with sea buckthorn juice. It is made into a cold dish, sour and sweet, fresh and crispy. It is called a cold dish, but it is more like a dessert or fruit after a meal. As for Wangfu Secret Chicken, it should be a high-end name for crispy hand-torn chicken. In any case, the taste is the key point, and the meat is tender and crispy. You don’t need to use your hands. You can tear it apart with chopsticks. The sweet and sour taste is very familiar to southern tourists. Coupled with the craftsmanship of Shanxi, the old vinegar production area, the sweet and sour sauce is indeed very tasty. If you are not full of siomai, this bowl of sweet and sour pork tenderloin must be especially good with rice. Each table is also given a portion of red bean porridge. I don’t know if it is a local eating habit. It feels that drinking porridge with siomai is also quite good.

It was a pleasant dining experience. The environment of the restaurant was very good, and the decoration was antique. The private room in particular looked very good. I ordered a few Datong specialties, a small portion of deep-fried pork, which tasted very fragrant, a half portion of mutton steamed buns, which were juicy and delicious, a copper pot mutton offal, which was just the right amount, and the yellow rice cake was delicious. I ate it all by myself. I especially want to praise the bulk wine. It was changed. It provided a very convenient way for people like me who dine alone to drink. The service was also very considerate. In short, I was satisfied.
This time we tasted delicious food 👍805 tables
Looking for authentic food in the streets and alleys of Datong often brings unexpected surprises. This time, I walked into Long Juxiang because of a legendary snowflake siomai. I originally thought it was just a simple food trip, but I didn't expect that Long Juxiang gave me far more than just a delicious meal. There was an endless queue of people queuing at the door of the Bell and Drum Tower store. Obviously, the charm of this snowflake siomai should not be underestimated. However, facing this long queue, I suddenly had an idea and decided to take a taxi to other branches of Long Juxiang. After all, as an old brand, every store of Long Juxiang carries the same quality and reputation. Walking into the branch, a classical and lively atmosphere hits you in the face, which forms a sharp contrast with the coldness of Datong. The decoration inside the store is antique, and every detail reveals the heritage and charm of the old brand. And the smiling faces of the shop assistants make people feel the warmth of home. When the yellow rice jelly was served, I was pleasantly surprised to find that as a customer with a high rating of Lv7, there was also a special gift. The perfect combination of yellow rice jelly and osmanthus sugar is sweet, sticky and fragrant, which makes people have endless aftertaste. Then came the lamb skewers. I thought it was just an ordinary grilled skewers, but it was unexpectedly delicious. The lamb was tender and juicy, and every bite was full of happiness. The Lao Datong fried meat was even more praised. The sourness of the vinegar cleverly neutralized the greasiness of the meat, allowing the tenderness of the meat to be perfectly released. Of course, Shanxi noodles are an indispensable must-order item. Long Juxiang's noodles are chewy and delicious, and the simple ingredients are the finishing touch of this meal. Here, I not only tasted delicious food, but also felt the enthusiasm and warmth of the city of Datong. Long Juxiang is not only a memory of snowflake siu mai, but also an eternal memory of home, warmth and beauty. #Food Tasting Tour #My Food Tour #Local Food #Try the Authentic Old Brand #The Places Most Asked About in Moments Datong Longjuxiang is a catering brand with a long history and profound cultural heritage.
