The Suzhou-Hangzhou Dim Sum Shop was established in 1967, and with nearly 60 years of history, it is indeed an old establishment. There was a second location in the Minsheng community, but it has closed down; perhaps the original shop is best at preserving the authentic flavors.
The first dish to be served is the hot and sour soup. Taking a sip, it certainly had a sour taste, and the white pepper brought out the spiciness. The flavor is very pronounced.
The Suzhou-Hangzhou soup dumplings are filled with pure, finely minced meat and are a translucent red. The meat juice is not scalding and is not greasy at all, truly achieving a thin skin with lots of juice. It is well-seasoned, and tastes great even without dipping sauce—it's of exceptionally high quality!
The Huzhou fresh meat zongzi is overly moist and mushy, and its shape is not very appealing. However, the rice is indeed soft and glutinous, and the meat chunks are all lean and flavorful.
The pork rib and egg fried rice is the signature dish of the shop. The staff specifically mentioned that the ribs are not coated in batter and deep-fried, allowing the sauce to penetrate inside. The fried rice is fluffy with each grain distinct. The most unique aspect is the addition of diced pickled beans, which are not overly sour, providing a refreshing contrast that pairs perfectly with the rich fried rice—surprisingly suitable!
