Suzhou Pingjiang Road: 15 yuan a bowl for gorgon nut, 10 yuan a bowl for sweet congee - is it worth it?

Speaking of Jiangsu, there really are so many snacks here. The one in the picture is the famous Suzhou snack crab shell yellow, which is very crispy when eaten - it even crumbles when you bite into it, and it is very fragrant too! The shop where I took the photo is right on Pingjiang Road in Suzhou, and what this shop mainly sells is also famous Suzhou snacks such as sweet congee and gorgon nut.

This shop's business is still very good. Many people who get tired from wandering around Pingjiang Road come here to sit down and rest a bit, and order a bowl of sweet congee or gorgon nut to eat! When you come to Jiangsu, this sweet congee is a must-drink. The sweet congee here tastes very good, but it is not so sweet that it becomes cloying, and it is well worth eating! However, because Pingjiang Road is a relatively popular tourist area, the prices of the things inside are not cheap either.

This is the famous Suzhou snack gorgon nut. There are just a few gorgon nuts in it, and it costs 15 yuan a bowl. But it is quite good to drink.

This bowl is sweet congee, and sweet congee is 10 yuan a bowl. It is also very good to drink, sweet but not cloying. This kind of congee comes in both cold and hot versions. In summer, cold is the best to drink. After this congee is made, it is put in the refrigerator to chill. Scooping up a bowl of icy sweet congee to drink is much more refreshing than eating things like ice cream!

On Pingjiang Road, sweet congee is 10 yuan a bowl and gorgon nut is 15 yuan a bowl. Do you think it is worth it?
