This popular snack shop in Gongguan is well-known and often crowded. I'm sure everyone has seen the long lines whenever they pass by, especially on weekend afternoons and evenings. In the past, when Chen San Ding was around, both shops would compete for the number of customers.

This time, I chose the fatty pork bao and its mixed four-herb soup.

For the bao, if you don't like cilantro, remember to inform the shop in advance, as they usually add cilantro by default. This point is important!

I personally find the combination of peanut powder and fatty pork in the bao very palatable. The fatty pork isn’t overly greasy, and the sweetness of the peanut powder adds a special flavor and texture to the bao.

When it comes to the soup, I think the portion is quite generous, and the broth is very tasty, especially on a cold night, making it a great choice.

If you have the time, I highly recommend dining in, as you won’t have to wait in such a long line, and the space is actually quite comfortable.

If I had to point out a downside, it would be the price, which has increased quite a bit compared to before. But whenever I pass by, I still find myself wanting to revisit to savor the flavors I remember.
