Fēngyù Shēngjiān
Don’t let the Stalinist service and lack of English put you off at this nondescript canteen, as it turns out popular shēngjiān ( 生煎; fried dumplings) for a bargain Y3, in addition to a range of cheap noodle dishes (Y6). Pay at the entrance and then join the queue.

Yang’s Fry Dumplings
The city’s most famous sesame-seed-and-scallion-coated fried dumplings ( 生煎; shēngjiān ) unquestionably belong to Yang’s. Lines here can stretch to the horizon as eager diners wait for their scalding shēngjiān to be dished out onto vintage communist-era enamel dishes – this isn’t some sort of retro fashion statement, they just never bothered to upgrade the tableware. Order at the left counter – eight dumplings and a soup ( 汤; tāng ) should be enough – then join the queue on the right to pick up your order.
