LAO GAN DUMPLING

We wanted to try rice dumplings and taro cakes when we arrived in Nanning, so we found this old shop next to the food city. We walked around and found this shop on the outskirts of the water street. Because we went there in the afternoon, there was basically no one and there were many seats outside. The overall feeling is that the taste is OK, the price is affordable, and the portion is solid, which is what an old shop should be like. [Mushroom, Horseshoe, Shrimp and Pork Dumplings] 12 yuan There are about 10 dumplings in one serving, and the cooked dumplings are poured with sauce. Because it has been several months since I wrote this review, I can't remember the specific taste and flavor. But I remember that I asked for the dumpling skin, which is not the ordinary dumpling skin. It has a QQ and glutinous texture. I guess it is kneaded with taro paste? The filling is not full enough, but it tastes very interesting, so I recommend you to try it. 【Taro Cake】5 yuan If you like taro paste, you must try it. The soft and fluffy taro cake is really satisfying with every bite. It has a very pure taro fragrance and is made in a simple way. It feels very old-fashioned. Two solid pieces will really make you feel full after eating. I like this kind of local snack. It tastes very down-to-earth and has a sense of ritual in life.

Lao Ganfen Dumplings Many snacks in Nanning are made of flour. This Lao Ganfen Dumpling uses flour as the skin, and mushrooms, water chestnuts, shrimps and pork as the fillings When I came, two aunties were making dumplings. Another of their specialties is taro Taro is salty and fresh, mixed with flour. Auntie suggested that I pour special sauce on it The dumplings will be served soon. I think they are better than the takeaway ones I ordered. They are even better without sauce

I came here because of its reputation. It's delicious and not expensive. The fried insect powder with Laoyou is particularly chewy. People from other places who haven't eaten it can try it.

The environment is very ordinary, no fan. It was so hot, I went there at 2pm. There was almost no one. When the dishes were ready, the auntie would ask you to go into the store and get them yourself. The fried mealworms tasted good. To be honest, the rice dumplings were a bit edible without the yellow skin sauce, but the taste was very unique with the yellow skin sauce. Sour and sweet. As a Guangzhou native, I am used to it. It was ok. The location was hard to find, quite remote.

In the store outside the food city, the beef fried with mealworms is delicious!
