Fuzhou Shizu Pepper Pork Bun — Restaurant in Songshan District

If you're strolling through Raohe Night Market and spot a long queue near a street stall, chances are it’s for the famous Fuzhou Ancestor Pepper Pie. This beloved street food has earned its legendary status among locals and tourists alike.
