The seven-mile fragrant pastry is rich and beautiful, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, without any fishy taste. It has a salty and fragrant original flavor, and when spiced up, the taste becomes even richer, exceeding expectations in deliciousness.
The restaurant is located at the temple entrance on the old street of Shenkeng, where people come and go, indicating its popularity with a small queue forming.
The staff also does not forget to tidy up the countertop and maintain a clean environment during the baking process, providing satisfactory service.
I found that there are some popular shops in Shenkeng Old Street online. The location at the temple entrance feels quite bustling with people. Around 10 AM, I noticed a small line forming, and since there weren't too many people, I thought I could queue up for a bit. They only sell one item: Qili Xiang (Seven Mile Fragrance). I originally planned to share one with a friend, but after hearing someone in front of me order more than 10, I thought it must be really delicious, and it smelled great too. In the end, we each ordered one.
Their Qili Xiang looked very plump, seemed bigger than what I usually see. I rarely eat Qili Xiang, so I didn't have much interest in it, but it had good reviews, so I thought it was worth a try.
It wasn't dry at all; it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with no weird fishy taste. It was somewhat similar to chicken. Eating it plain was salty and fragrant, and adding a little spice made the flavor even richer. I found it surprisingly delicious, much better than I expected. While waiting in line, I noticed the staff also kept tidying up and cleaning the countertop while grilling, which was nice. If I visit Shenkeng Old Street again, I would consider buying it again.
