At Liangdao Street's popular eatery called Master Zhao, I joined the long line to buy a beloved snack: a deep-fried bread pocket stuffed with shaomai, a superb carb-loaded treat.
It was a delightful blend of spicy black pepper-seasoned sticky rice wrapped in a crispy fried bread shell, creating a mouthwatering contrast between the soft, aromatic interior and the crunchy exterior.
