Sticky rice lovers rejoice! Handmade sweet sticky rice cakes from Ningbo are back.
🌟Highlights:
They were only open for a few months last year on Tian'ai Road, and by the time I wanted to try them, I had already missed out. I had to wait for more than half a year, and I didn't expect them to return to Yongjia Road in the Wutong District of Shanghai! Sticky rice lovers rejoice! I rushed over without hesitation!

This season there are three types of rice cakes, 2 savory and 1 sweet, and a dessert smoothie.
👍Recommended:
1️⃣Fish Curry Beef Rice Cake CNY 32
Chili, crushed peanuts, and scallions, with a rich texture, slightly spicy curry, and a wonderful combination with the rice cake.
2️⃣Earl Grey Tea Chestnut Pumpkin Rice Cake CNY 28
The chestnut pumpkin is rich and dense, slightly sweet but not greasy, with a hint of tea flavor, and I personally prefer this combination.
3️⃣Meigan Cai Pork Rice Cake CNY 32
A large portion of Meigan Cai, a bit salty on its own, but better with rice cake, with a hint of basil, but not obvious, and a heavy overall flavor.

The Shanghai Sweet Love Road Citywalk is here! It's super suitable for couples
Shanghai's winter Sweet Love Road Citywalk is touched by the details.
Hongkou's Sweet Love Road, friends who come to Shanghai must come and take a look~
This road is not long, but it's very detailed and sweet!
The heart-shaped traffic light is very iconic, great for taking photos~
Walking tonight, I found that there are many projection lights along the way, and on both sides are 'I love you' in various languages~ All the message walls are filled with couples' declarations of love

A sweet love road filled with the breath of everyday life
Compared to the bustling intersection of Sweet Love Road and its branch, as well as the romantic and lively southern end of Sweet Love Road, the northern end is exceptionally tranquil, with tall and straight metasequoias standing on both sides of the road. I think to myself, if summer comes, this will surely be a quiet yet romantic shaded path.
Here, there are garden houses built in the 1930s and 1940s that still look beautiful today, and there are also ordinary residential buildings, everywhere filled with the breath of human life.
On a low wall, a stray cat is intently enjoying its meal, completely ignoring me beside it, until I meowed at it. Only then did it turn its head and look at me with a pair of puzzled eyes, as if to say 'Why are you disturbing me?' 😄😄
