The white skin and purple filling of the roll cake, the glutinous rice dough is steamed and constantly kneaded, and the taste is soft and glutinous; The fragrance of osmanthus and the sweetness of bean paste blend in the mouth, sweet but not greasy, which is the favorite of many old Nanjing. Lotus Seed Red Bean Lantern Festival is the signature dessert of Lianhu, red bean soup is laid at the bottom, small Lantern Festival is put into the soup, sugar osmanthus and lotus seeds are accompanied, and the wine is brewed and fragrant. The red beans are boiled thick and soft, the Lantern Festival is soft and springy, and the taste is sweet and greasy, and some diners who do not like sweets find it difficult to accept its sweetness, and often only eat a few bites and put it on the shelf. There are also three-color cakes, water chestnut cakes, hemp cakes and other cakes for sale, and there are a variety of varieties and affordable prices.

There are two lotus lakes in the west street of Confucius Temple Gongyuan, the food sold is different, one is a duck shop, there is no seat in the store, that is, buy and go; The other is a dumpling shop. The interior of the store has been newly renovated, and the décor is plain, with light-colored tables and chairs neatly arranged, and white lights and white walls are bright. Our restaurant is semi-self-service, and you need to pick up your own food after calling the number. The staff is not patient enough, and the service attitude needs to be improved. Compared with Fang Po Cake Dumpling Shop, today's Lianhu Lake is mainly a tourist business with a resounding name, but the products are rougher and slightly inferior to Fang Po.
