Eat & Drink Wuxi

Wuxi Braised Spare Ribs

Wuxi-style Xiaolongbao

Wuxi Braised Stuffed Gluten Balls

Wuxi people have a sweet palette. Therefore, the sweetness of its local cuisine distinguishes it from other cuisines in the Yangtze River Delta region. It remains unclear why Wuxi people enjoy sweet flavours. However one could guess that Wuxi, being a city of abundance, can well afford sugar in the old days when this condiment was scarce.

The most common culinary method is adding sugar and soy sauce to many savoury dishes, often in the form of hongshao (红烧). The result of this combination is a fragrant, tantalising caramel-like flavour. Braised Spare Ribs (无锡酱排骨), Wuxi-style Xiaolongbao (无锡小笼包) and Braised Stuffed Gluten Balls (无锡肉酿面筋) are the stars among the must-eat.
