Great Eats: 花中城 (Huā Zhōng Chéng - Flower City)

This post was meant to be completed a couple weeks ago, apologies for the slight delay. With that said:

花中城 (located in Shangcheng, Hangzhou) has many affordable but delicious options ranging from desserts to seafood, and everything else. This 11-part meal ended up costing only ~$30 (US)! My relatives originally brought me here during my first week in Hangzhou; turns out my coworkers come here often too since it's so close to our school!




A dessert dish (a fruit jelly)


Fried shrimp cakes - this was one of my favorites!


Standard greens


Fried taro pastry - a tasty dessert!


Hangzhou duck - another great dish!


String Beans


Some kind of Fish from Hangzhou


More fish


A Hangzhou soup with three "rarities"

 
"Tofu skin" - another tasty option (I grew up eating this)!


Didn't get the name off the menu, but this is basically a steamed cake - very spongy
