Introduction
|
Shengjian is type of miniature buns made by frying them in oil until they are cooked. The food became popular in Shanghai, Zhengjiang, Jiangsu and Guandong, earning people's love. The earliest appearance of Shengjian was in Teahouses where it is savoured as a side-dish alongside tea. However, in this context, Teahouses do not refer to the places where elegant and high-status individuals are seen enjoying some Yum Cha beneath Chinese windows. Instead, teahouses are actually tiger stove (water room) where the proletariat would drink tea. Additionally, it's also a place for people who receives meager pay to boil water. As such, when there are Shengjian around, characterised by its oily covering and fragrant meat, thick smokes can naturally be seen. Once you nibbled a bite out of Shengjian, you will feel happiness as the scrumptious bits tumble into your stomach. Such happiness is easy to get. |
