Talking about honey with salt

—— Talking about the delicious food in the world and the flavor of hometown

People in the old city of Quanzhou have a "Yuelai" complex. Yuelai is the name of a restaurant, which sounds like the ancient "Longmen Inn", but Yuelai doesn't stay in the store but only cooks, and the fried food is Minnan cuisine.

first of all, I declare that this article is not Amway, and I don't know the boss of Yuelai, and I don't know its business model. I just told everyone about Yuelai in the eyes of an ordinary Quanzhou person over the years and Yuelai I have eaten.

It is said that when Yuelai lived in the 91st Road, the place was cramped. However, because the dishes were affordable and delicious, people in the old city of Quanzhou were willing to go to Yuelai once they had a birthday party, a full moon banquet or a downhill banquet. Although the facade was small, the dishes were really delicious, which gave their hosts dignity.

My little girl, from the full moon banquet, the banquet for the first birthday, the banquet for the first birthday, and the banquet for the 16th birthday, is held in Yuelai. Many of my relatives and friends also like to have a banquet in Yuelai once they celebrate their birthdays and birthdays.

if you ask a person from the old city of Quanzhou, have you ever eaten "Yuelai"? Those who haven't eaten are mostly newcomers who have just settled in Quanzhou, while those in the old city are often eaten or not, not eaten.

With a pinch of fingers, Yuelai has been in business for more than 31 years. During this time, Yuelai has grown bigger and bigger, and the old store on No.91 Road has become history. Now, across from Xinhua Road and Fangcao Garden, high-rise buildings have been built with a magnificent facade.

It's not as narrow as it used to be, and it's possible to accept high-end wedding banquets openly, but ordinary people still go once they celebrate their birthdays.

Having said that, what dishes are there in Yuelai that people like in the old city of Quanzhou, which makes Quanzhou people linger so much? I'll take you to a birthday party today.

This is my mother's family dinner. We have a big private room, and my brothers, sisters and old mother get together to celebrate my birthday.

Let's see what dishes Yuelai has served.

I arrived with Mrs. Xu, who was trembling. The waiter served two bundles of drinks, one with peanut sauce and the other with passion fruit juice.

The side dishes on the table are traditional preserved salted vegetables and peanuts in Quanzhou.

focus on Quanzhou people's salted preserved meat, cut hairtail into small pieces, pickled with salt, and then fried, especially for meals and wine.

I can finish this small dish with beer, and I'm a little tipsy before my brothers arrive.

A family dinner is better than a banquet. People in Quanzhou have a bad habit. When a banquet is held, everyone will have to wait until after eight o'clock in the evening, and they will have to wait until their chests are pressed against their backs. Therefore, it is really a last resort to have a banquet.

a family dinner is different. After talking and laughing, all the brothers and sisters arrive and serve.

Boiled Octopus I once wrote an article. If you are interested, you can read it. Boiled Octopus, do you really know it? Without this step, nothing tastes good.

Octopus, you must blow your head off and eat it with ink, so that you can enjoy yourself.

Nowadays, Portunus trituberculatus is in the right time. The meat is firm and the paste is not particularly full, but it is as tender and fragrant as June yellow, and it is even more delicious.

It can be said that it is not a Minnan dish, and this dish is not well cooked and tough, so my Mrs. Xu can't bite at all.

The lobster is very fresh, and the wonderful thing is that my nephew completely peeled off the head of a lobster and lamented that he didn't take pictures as a souvenir.

it should be the family dinner, so the dishes are not served in order, otherwise it should be birthday noodles.

Tricholoma matsutake is very popular recently. Its unique mushroom flavor will make a soup very delicious.

with the soup of sparerib with mushrooms and mussels, Quanzhou cuisine is delicious.

Today's dish deserves thumbs up. It's great!

I strongly recommend going to Yuelai to taste this fat sausage!

Compared with Shandong cuisine, Cantonese cuisine with crispy large intestine, Sichuan cuisine with spicy fat intestines and so on, Quanzhou's sea cucumber pot with large intestine head can definitely take the lead.

The beauty is that the oil in the fat intestines still stays on the intestinal wall, which is fragrant, smooth and tender. If you dare to eat, you must try it!

Birthday noodles are the standard for traditional China people.

and today's birthday noodles, the practice is Quanzhou noodles, which is authentic and pure Minnan cuisine.

I once said that the most important thing to test the skill of a Minnan chef is to cook this Quanzhou noodles. If you want to know the knowledge of noodles, you can see my article "Noodles on the table of Quanzhou people" and "Noodles in Quanzhou, a big gift in a big gift".

"Yuelai" noodles are very famous, and many people come here.

It feels like Cantonese cuisine in southern Fujian, because the marinated squab is a marinated practice in southern Fujian. After marinated squab is fragrant and fried with crispy skin and rich gravy, it is said that it is also the specialty of "Yuelai" master.

The colorful soup in Quanzhou is very good, which can be said to be a must for Quanzhou cuisine.

does this dish feel like riding the wind and waves?

win in styling!

Quanzhou peanut soup with cake!

Quanzhou peanut soup is also a favorite of Quanzhou people. Quanzhou people call peanuts "potatoes" and peanut soup dialect is "potato soup".

If you want to know how to do it, please refer to my article "Potato Rentang, this potato is not another potato".

of course, birthday cakes are indispensable for birthdays, and it's really fun for our family to sing birthday songs together.

birthdays should have a sense of ceremony, and this ceremony can only be completed when the whole family is present.

"Yuelai" is the most common place where Quanzhou people hold ceremonies.
