Originally positioned as a teahouse, the owner of the Buddha decided to venture into a wider vegetarian industry and named it after his hometown. Tongcheng Xiaozhu has a strong Hui style imprint from the decoration style to the taste of the dishes, and various cultural activities held regularly attract many vegetarian lovers and believers.
Walk through the brick screen and a slightly steep staircase to the dining area on the second floor. The storefront on the second floor is divided into several areas by Chinese-style windows and hanging downs, and is connected by a wide corridor, which is named after the place name "Six Feet Lane" in Tongcheng, which is quite interesting; The box is small but elegant enough, with traditional Chinese furniture and several ink treasures on the wall, and various cultural activities are often held here after dinner.
Shiping tofu is the restaurant's signature dish, which is similar to stinky tofu, which is crispy on the surface and tender on the inside, and is poured with special sauce and chili pepper after being plated on an iron plate, which makes the taste stronger than the tofu of Cantonese cuisine, but not as strong as stinky tofu. The more distinctive honey-juiced vegetable eel uses seaweed and Huaishan to imitate the skin and flesh of the eel, and the appearance and taste are almost real, and friends who don't mind imitating meat dishes may wish to give it a try. As for the yuba chestnut, which has received a lot of praise, it is greatly affected by the season, and the sweetness and softness of the chestnut that are not in season are not satisfactory, and the amount is small, and the price of 48 yuan is not convincing enough. Mushroom sachets and cheese-baked sweet potatoes are two small minefields, the former highlights the fresh aroma of mushrooms, and the latter is rich and delicious. It is worth mentioning that cheese is a milk product, so friends who have a vegan habit should remember to pay attention.
Tongcheng Xiaozhu is located in Bantian Handmade Cultural Street, there is no subway nearby, and friends who take the bus need to get off near Bantian Village and walk there; It is relatively convenient to drive, just keep an eye on the U-turn on Wenhua Street.
