Wang's Cooked Pears

Wang's Cooked Pears

　　Wang's Cooked Pears are made using a secret family recipe passed down for hundreds of years by "Wang Yucheng," the King of Cooked Pears. With carefully selected ingredients and a unique flavor, they are a true marvel of Chinese cuisine. The pears are tender and mushy, melt-in-your-mouth, sweet and richly aromatic, with soft and juicy seeds. They also offer health benefits such as clearing phlegm, reducing internal heat, moistening the lungs, relieving coughs, soothing hangovers, promoting urination, easing irritability and dryness, nourishing the liver, and benefiting the heart. They have certain therapeutic effects on chronic bronchitis and asthma caused by lung heat.

　　 Wang's Cooked Pears are usually sold at dusk, accompanied by the melodious tune of a traditional sales song. When people hear the song, they flock to buy them, and diners praise them highly. On October 20, 1993, comedian Zhao Benshan performed this song on stage after tasting the pears.

　　 Celebrities such as Chen Yi, Gu Mu, and Fei Xiaotong have all praised these pears. They have been featured in reports by multiple TV stations and newspapers. In 1997, they were recognized by the Shandong Provincial Economic and Trade Commission as a “Famous Shandong Snack,” and by the China Cuisine Association as a “Famous Chinese Snack” and awarded the title of “Chinese Cooked Pear King.”
