The mini Red Bean Zongzi is wrapped in a single zongzi leaf, with 13 neat loops of string tied around the outside — symbolizing the 13 strokes of the Chinese character “福” (fortune), representing happiness and completeness. (Photo by Chen Qiquan)

The Osmanthus Rice Cake carefully selects two main ingredients: glutinous rice flour and osmanthus sugar. The ratio of sugar, water, osmanthus sugar, and glutinous rice flour is a secret recipe. (Photo by Chen Qiquan)

When visiting Shanghai, you’ll definitely explore Yu Garden. And after visiting Yu Garden, you might as well dine at Green Wave Pavilion. It may sound like a travel cliché, but even old clichés can sprout new branches — and that new branch is the “Madame Xi’s Dim Sum Set,” something no other restaurant can make.

After Xi Jinping had buns at Qingfeng Bun Shop, his order became known as the “President’s Combo,” drawing streams of visitors. Similarly, after his wife Peng Liyuan tried the dim sum at Shanghai’s Yu Garden

这份习夫人套点，在2015年配合国宴推出，至今热门不坠。当初为了让国宴点心接地气，以好吃、好看、好做、好流传为研发目标，最后研制出两道招牌经典，加上两道创意新品的顺风叶、长寿桃、葫芦酥以及迷你粽的四样小点的套点。

上海豫园商城绿波廊酒楼副总经理、国家级高级技师陆亚明表示，这四种点心背后，还有着八字真经，那就是“传统、海派、经典、文化”。四种点心也寓意著“事事如意”，接着也自豪的介绍四样小点。

椰香顺风叶是用制作水晶虾饺的原料，因为无筋面粉黏度和透明度均较高，在蒸熟后看起来晶莹剔透，再以新鲜菠菜萃取的汁水和成面皮，配以花生末、黄油、椰汁等馅料，椰丝混合著花生糖粒，咬上一口，不会黏腻，味道也有层次。

枣香长寿桃是一道结合视觉与味觉的小点，内馅为枣香核桃仁和咸蛋黄，散发出浓郁带皮红枣甜味，寿桃上的那抹亮丽的“胭脂红”，是用上海人十分熟悉的蔬菜“红米苋”的汁水染成的，除了好味道外，惟妙惟肖的造型，也让人爱不释手。

椒盐葫芦酥又名如意酥，是最花工夫的一道点心，白胖葫芦腰身处缠着山楂“腰带”，箍出一个葫芦形状，象征吉祥如意，甜中带咸的坚果馅，让人咬上一口甜咸交融，满口生鲜。

迷你赤豆粽是采用的是红豆馅的甜粽，用一张粽叶包裹，外面整齐缠绕13道线，取中国字“福”有13笔之意，寓意美满幸福。粽子虽然没有特别调味，但糯米搭配着粽香，红豆入口即化。

虽然这四道点心大多是甜点，但每一味的“甜”，尝起来都不一样。四色糕点犹如一篇好文章中所内含的起、承、转、合，为餐宴完美收尾。

除了习夫人套点外，绿波廊还有几样点心也是值得推荐的，像是可爱度爆表的“拎包酥”，拎包的褐色手柄是用可可粉和面粉制成，包面是油酥饼，两侧再用白芝麻点缀，内馅有蟹粉和椒盐腰果两种口味，让饕客选择。

还有标榜“粘盘子、粘筷子、不粘牙”的桂花拉糕，严选糯米粉和糖桂花的两款主要原料，糖、水、糖桂花和糯米粉的配比是秘方，而这款点心要冷吃才能达到滑软油润、软糯甘饴，甜而不腻、清香袭人的境界。

中国民众叫彭丽园彭妈妈，感觉非常亲切，所以习夫人套点不能贵，四色小点人民币38元，而且每日限量50份。其他的特色点心单价基本上也都在人民币30元以内的，让老百姓也能品尝到元首政要们的同款的VIP菜肴，而且口味绝不打折。
