Nothing can detract from Wuhan\u2019s treasure trove of local delicacies, not even a global pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its reputation marred by being unceremoniously dubbed as the epicentre of the Covid-19 virus, Wuhan has recovered in leaps and bounds since then. According to a Jun 29, 2020 article by CGTN, Ji Qing Stree<\/a>t, the city\u2019s famous food street, reignited its bustling spark as visitors swarmed the area during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday held between Jun 25 and Jun 27, 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

Join me as I reminisce about the time when I was fortunate enough to savour Wuhan\u2019s iconic dishes in this famed food street prior to the Covid-19 catastrophe.<\/span><\/p>\n

The highly recommended Tri-delicacy <\/span>doupi<\/span><\/em> (7 yuan, S$1.40) from Lao Tong Cheng, established in 1929.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.7″ text_font=”Libre Caslon Text||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” custom_margin=”||-1px|||” locked=”off”]

Making my first stop at the 90-year-old \u201cKing of Doupi<\/em>\u201d, Lao Tong Cheng, I am welcomed by the sight of satisfied locals and foreigners leaving the shop. A quick glance at the number of patrons who are dining-in shows the popularity of the Tri-delicacy doupi<\/em><\/span>. The dish contains glutinous rice, mushrooms, roast meat, bamboo shoots and its\u00a0pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance is a<\/span>\u00a0thin golden crepe which encases the rich glutinous rice filling.<\/span><\/p>\n

Xiao En, a fellow patron from Guangzhou, says in Mandarin: \u201cThe <\/span>doupi<\/span><\/em> reminds me of the warmth of my home, and I will definitely recommend it to my friends.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Illustrations of Lao Tong Cheng\u2019s rich history and milestones are plastered around the shop\u2019s interior, where patrons are able to learn more about the brand and have a newfound appreciation for the d<\/em>oupi<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Si Xi<\/span><\/i> Tang Bao<\/span><\/i> (18 yuan, S$3.60) to-go from Si Ji Mei, established in 1922.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.7″ text_font=”Libre Caslon Text||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” custom_margin=”||-1px|||” locked=”off”]

Turning round the corner after Lao Tong Cheng, I join the queue outside Si Ji Mei, the longest queue at Ji Qing Street that day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Pai dui<\/span><\/i> (queue)! <\/span>Pai dui<\/span><\/i>!\u201d commands a fellow patron<\/span>,<\/span> as he pushes his companions to the queue at the renowned soup dumpling shop. The sweltering hot weather <\/span>has not stopped the queue at Si Ji Mei from forming behind me.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 25-minute wait felt torturous, but all signs of fatigue disintegrated the moment the soup from the dumpling oozed in my mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Food brands such as Si Ji Mei have come a long way since their establishment in the early 1900s and are known for their historical contributions to the Chinese food heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the queue with me is a Wuhan local, Zhang Geng, who is also waiting patiently under the sun with his girlfriend. \u201cCompared to other soup dumpling shops I have tried in Wuhan, Si Ji Mei produces the freshest and most fragrant soup dumplings and is definitely worth the wait,\u201d he says, adding that he frequents the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n

The soup dumplings are prepared upon order, which causes the long wait. However, I find the wait worth every second, thanks to the soup dumplings\u2019 paper-thin skin and perfect skin-to-filling ratio.<\/span><\/p>\n

Making my way further into Ji Qing Street, I am greeted by the iconic entrance of Cai Lin Ji, a 97-year-old <\/span>reganmian <\/span><\/i>(hot dry noodles in a potent sesame sauce) brand. Entering Cai Lin Ji is like entering a time machine\u00a0<\/span>as patrons\u00a0<\/span>find themselves immersed in the oriental layout of the shop, with furniture inspired by the ancient Chinese periods.<\/span><\/p>\n

The shop employee recommends that I order the beef <\/span>reganmian<\/span><\/i>, which comes with a generous amount of tender beef slices and noodles.<\/span><\/p>\n

I take a seat before the entrance of the shop, and I am joined by other patrons who <\/span>will not stop singing praises for the noodles as they dig in.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the sun sets and the weather cools, I walk out of Ji Qing Street, witnessing it light up. My appetite is sated for the time being, but I know a return visit is on the cards as a crowd forms and street vendors roll their carts out in preparation for the night market.<\/span><\/p>\n
