I have been longing to return to my hometown day and night, but today I suddenly saw Wuxi Yulan Cake online. Note: Yulan cake is a specialty snack in the Jiangnan region, made from glutinous rice and meat filling. Famous snacks in Wuxi. The creation of Yulan Cake began in the 12th year of the Qing Dynasty's Daoguang reign (1850 AD) by Wuxi Sunji Cake Shop, named after the blooming season of Yulan flowers. It's crispy outside and fragrant inside. People in the south of the Yangtze River often eat it together with soybean milk for breakfast. It's delicious and not easy to be hungry.

8. After taking a big bite, I found the crispy and fragrant outer shell, the sticky inside, and the sweet and hot bean paste, which was indescribable~~However, this is a high calorie food, so it is advisable to eat it sparingly in daily life
