Fubao Eatery Introduction
Located right in front of the "Heart of Shiding" Square, Fubao Eating House may not look impressive from the outside, but it has been operating for over fifty years and is quite popular among locals. It is always packed on weekends and holidays, and is a famous old shop that features superb culinary skills hidden within its simple dishes. Must-Order Dishes The signature "Three Ways Tofu" is renowned – fried tofu, tofu soup, and braised tofu are must-try items for food enthusiasts visiting here; especially notable is the "Braised Tofu," which is prepared differently from the commonly seen method of deep-frying and then braising in most restaurants. Instead, it is only mixed with Kikkoman soy sauce and slowly pan-fried over gentle heat. The outer skin is tender and sweet, with rich flavors even at the center of the tofu, showcasing the chef's deep cooking expertise. Though the reputation of "Shiding Tofu" may not be as renowned as "Shenkeng Tofu," it is said that most of the tofu from Shenkeng actually comes from Shiding, hence both carry a unique charred aroma. However, the truth of this statement is subjective; for those interested in exploring the truth, why not visit and taste it for yourself?
