Taizhou traditional snacks
Poet's praise: The famous poet Shu Ting stood on Ziyang Street and exclaimed: "I am already standing on the ancient Ziyang Street in Linhai City, holding the 'egg white lamb tail' that has just been cooked in an unbelievable manner. It is hot, soft, crispy and fragrant. Before my lips and teeth can take stock of the true meaning, my throat has been completely confiscated."
