Bacheng Town, which is adjacent to Shanghai in the east and Suzhou in the west, is a famous historical and cultural town in Jiangsu Province and a crab-eating resort in the traditional sense of Suzhou. It is adjacent to Yangcheng Lake, with low-lying terrain and many pools, which is an excellent place for hairy crab breeding. During the crab-eating season, a large number of hairy crabs gather and distribute the load here, and the scene is very lively.
Farmhouse Xiao Fang is one of the most popular farmstays in the area. In just a few years since its opening, it has received a lot of positive comments from the media and countless honors. In addition to the restaurant sector, Xiaofang also provides fishpond fishing, boating, bicycle rental, accommodation and other supporting services, so it has also become a good place for customers to gather and relax.
When I came to Bacheng, crabs were an unavoidable topic, and Xiaofang also took out high-quality hairy crabs to entertain customers. The classic steamed crab is bright orange and yellow, and the body is round. Lift the shell along the bottom to reveal the plump cream and meat. The noodle crab made from "June Yellow" crab is famous for its rich crab roe. Fry the crab in half and dip it in flour on the edge of the knife, and then stir it with rice cakes, edamame and thick batter to evenly blend the crab roe with it. It tastes dense and fragrant but not greasy, and the layers are very rich.
Lake fresh and delicious food is indispensable in Suzhou farmers. The bream, angsting, eel, and cinnamon fish here can be eaten fresh and delicious, whether they are steamed in a salty and delicious manner, or home-roasted in a thick red sauce. In addition, there are many common farmhouse dishes such as baked coconut white, scallion running eggs, fish-flavored shredded pork, braised pork, and local chicken soup.
The environment of the restaurant is quite refreshing. The courtyard surrounded by wooden houses is covered with greenery and ornaments, and there is a fence built with wooden frames on top. In terms of service, the owner and aunt are personally in battle, although there is a lack of young faces, but it is efficient and appropriate, so that customers can eat comfortably. In addition, the restaurant is close to the bay on one side, with a view of the green outdoors, and there are a number of private rooms available, suitable for friends or relatives to try it here. It should be noted that the restaurant is located at the intersection of Yangchenghu Village in the upper east, and it is not easy to get to the store by bus, so it is recommended to go by car. Parking is available in the parking lot near the restaurant.
