Cai Gen Xiang Xiao Guan

This long-standing restaurant in Yangzhou enjoys a stellar reputation among foodies from near and far for its Huaiyang cuisine. It has moved many times over the decades, before settling in this nondescript alley in 2023. Home-style classics are its strong suit, such as blanched shredded dried tofu in a savoury sauce drizzled with sesame oil. The sautéed pork intestine is loaded with wok hei and the meat is tender while the sauce is mildly tart.
