Gengfuxing (Fenghuang Food Street Branch)
耿福兴
Chinese time-honored brand founded in 1888, whose shrimp-roe noodles, xiaolong tangbao and crispy shaobing are listed as Anhui Provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage, a Wuhu signature.
Gengfuxing traces its origins to the 14th year of the Guangxu era of the Qing dynasty (1888), starting as a dumpling and noodle shop on Er Street. In 2010, its three signature items, xiaolong tangbao, crispy shaobing and shrimp-roe noodles, were listed as Anhui Provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage. The flagship on the central plaza of Fenghuang Food Street covers nearly 3,000 square meters. It opens at 6 a.m., and the morning tea service is the most authentic taste of old Wuhu. Signature dishes include shrimp-roe noodles loaded with shrimp roe, crab-roe tangbao with thin skins and juicy filling, and crispy shaobing in salty or sweet flavours. Shredded dried tofu in chicken broth is also recommended. Reviews generally say the dim sum outshines the stir-fried dishes. About CNY 50 per person. Queues form at peak times and on holidays, so visit off-peak. Second-floor private rooms need advance booking.
