The taste of Bridgehead Cake is refreshing and not overly sweet, similar to Scholar's Cake but firmer, and enhanced with nuts and red bean paste, making it a suitable small dessert after a meal.
Located at the entrance of the food street in Gubei Water Town, this place has a convenient location that attracts many visitors.
The shop owner was very polite, offering suggestions for Meituan coupons and even giving free pastries to Taiwanese tourists who were unable to use the discounts.
The whole shop actually sells "Qiao Tou Gao" (a type of cake)~
Everyone who visits the Gubei Water Town knows this shop selling Qiao Tou Gao, as it is located right at the entrance of the food street 🍜. If you want to go in and eat other things, you will definitely pass by this Qiao Tou Gao shop, and no matter who you are, if you've been to Gubei Water Town, you've probably tried this Qiao Tou Gao!
Even we, who didn't plan to eat it, saw everyone coming and going to buy Qiao Tou Gao, so we ended up getting a serving too!
The owner is very polite, and when you purchase, he will tell you that if you buy a discount coupon 🎫 on Meituan first, it can be cheaper. However, since we are Taiwanese, some things cannot be logged in while in mainland China. The owner was even kinder and gave me a serving for free, and later I felt embarrassed and transferred him the money through Alipay 💰!
The taste of Qiao Tou Gao is actually quite good; it has a fresh and light flavor without too many other tastes. It’s somewhat similar to the "Zhuang Yuan Gao," but a bit harder, and there are more nuts added. When you reach the bottom, you can even taste some red bean paste. Personally, I think it tastes pretty good since it’s not too sweet and easy to eat—it's a nice little dessert after a meal!
Overall, I think if you're going to visit, it’s only 10 yuan, so you can buy it and enjoy it while having fun. Although some people don’t rate it very highly, others think it’s great. I believe that when opinions are so polarized, you really need to experience it yourself. I recommend it to those who go and taste it personally!
