What is the reason? The first point: mutton is not as delicious as it was 30 years ago. Thirty years ago, Inner Mongolia sheep were all raised in the grassland (just like stupid chickens), and even local sheep were raised in the wild. Now most of them are fattened in captivity (just like fast-growing broilers). What's even more frightening is that more than 80% of hot pot restaurants don't even use this fat sheep, but use New Zealand mutton reprocessed by various so-called processes, and the New Zealand mutton processed by major food companies has lost its original flavor and become authentic junk food.
The second point: soup base, now more than 80% hot pot restaurants no longer burn bone soup, but adopt a method of adding it to the soup at a lower cost ... with all kinds of bone paste, meat paste, essence ... and so on, the whole house smells fragrant, but it smells unnatural in the mouth, which is extremely harmful to people's health!
The third point: the lack of craftsman spirit. Now more than 80% hotpot restaurant owners no longer study taste and inheritance, but only study patterns and how to make money quickly. In order to attract customers' attention, they lead employees to sing and dance regardless of taste and service.
The fourth point: the whole industry is caught in a vicious circle of low-price and low-quality competition. Looking at Harbin, there are hot pot restaurants everywhere, and the really good hot pot restaurants are less than 1% ... It's really the sorrow of Harbin! The sorrow of the times! The sorrow of society!
Hot pot, I personally like hot pot to string incense. Let's talk about hot pot. I watched the meat cut and the small ingredients. Nowadays, most branches cut meat by machines, and the ingredients are prepared by themselves. I look at freedom. Actually, I don't have any skills. If these two requirements are met, I suggest going to search the charcoal house. I have said this before, but I don't know it now, but it can be found according to this standard.
It turns out that there is a small shop on Xuande Street in Innovation Street, which is delicious. Now there are no advertisements. Chongqing hot pot at No.30 Qiaonan Street is the closest I have ever tasted to Chongqing. There are six tables in the shop. I may not be able to eat them. Eat it without regret. The hot pot and mutton in Xiqi, Mu Yan Street, Xiangfang District are delicious, and the Xianghe Garden in Tongda Street is also quite good.
I still prefer the old Beijing hot pot, which tastes quite good. The real old Beijing hotpot doesn't have that much seafood. A handful of dried seaweed is enough, dipped in bean curd, chives, mahjong, Chili oil and coriander powder. After washing mutton, put some Chinese cabbage and vermicelli in the hot pot, especially in summer, wrap a towel in the sun with bare arms, and eat sweaty, which is very cool!
People in Harbin like to eat hot pot, especially in winter. It is estimated that everyone in Harbin will have several favorite hot pot restaurants in their hearts. So when it comes to the best food, it seems that everyone has a rule in mind.
Today I want to talk about my favorite hotpot restaurant.
Yangshunzhai Hotpot, located in Feng Run Street, is a butcher shop that has been open for many years.
This is a Muslim restaurant, and we also remind everyone not to take food out of the store and respect the national habits of the owner.
The main features of the shop are charcoal copper pot and clear water pot. After the pot is boiled, put the medlar, jujube and shrimp into the pot to boil. The smell from the bottom of the pot comes out, and then you can rinse the meat. Clear water pot requires very high quality of rinse products, especially meat. The ingredients in the store are also exquisite.
The mutton in the store is leg of lamb, delicious and tender, especially delicious with the secret dipping sauce in the store! Cut the meat by hand, the meat is very thick, and when it is cooked, it is tender to eat in your mouth! Mutton, a leg of lamb with tendons. It tastes chewy and tender!
Special reminder, seafood must be rinsed, otherwise it will affect the taste and taste of meat.
Because it is a Muslim restaurant, the sauce beef and steamed dumplings in the restaurant are also delicious.
I don't think this proposition holds water. Whether it's delicious or not depends on personal taste. For example, everyone says that old Beijing instant-boiled mutton is delicious, but I just like Chongqing hot pot and I'm definitely not interested in old Beijing instant-boiled mutton! But fortunately, my favorite food is instant-boiled mutton, so I can recommend several places to you.
A few years ago, the main instant-boiled mutton that Harbin people ate was really charcoal hot pot. At that time, the charcoal building was quite hot, and then there was Little Sheep. But in recent years, Sichuan hot pot and Chongqing hot pot in Harbin have both become popular. The top resident should be Chongqing laozao hotpot. At that time, his house was on fire and there was a long queue. Later, a large number of such hot pots were opened in Harbin, and now the popular one is Mala Tang opened in Bao Beier, which tastes OK and is a little expensive. Another hot pot I often go to is Lan Xiang, which is found in Aijian and Development Zone. It is also spicy, but I personally prefer tomato pot. Xiabu Xiabu is cheaper and more popular in shopping malls.
Haidilao, which recently entered Harbin, is really a mess. I don't want to eat at all. I stood in line for at least two hours. When you first open it, you have to wait all afternoon. I was drunk, too.
In fact, I really want to say that the hot pot that suits my taste is what I personally think is the best hot pot. It was opened by a friend of mine. The next pedestrian street under Haxi Wanda apartment building is called Chongqing Sijie Hot Pot, but it is no longer open. When he opened a shop, many Chongqing people and Sichuanese from Harbin came here to eat, saying that it was the most authentic Sichuan hot pot opened in Harbin. But my friend is honest in business. He went to the South Pole to get the goods, and all he brought were the best beef and mutton. Even the owner of Antarctic wholesale said that there are only two or three such good mutton in Harbin. As a result, because of the high purchase cost and low passenger flow, the store soon went yellow, which I feel very sorry for.
This can be said simply, but it's not a foodie. I prefer eating. Instant-boiled mutton originated from the eating methods of Manchu and Mongolian, and was carried forward among Han people. Beijing and Hebei are called hot pot, and Heilongjiang is basically called hot pot. The eating method is a combination of Manchu and Mongolian hot pot, which may be related to the living area. The hot pot you eat is basically around the development zone.
Laokang Hotpot in Xinheng Community of huanghe road is hard to find, and the meat is good. The difference between them and others is that beef is more expensive than mutton [laughs]. Why is there fried sauerkraut in the side dish? I don't understand [praise]. It's just a comment on his family. Rats make holes. You'll understand when you've been there. )
There is a catty of Hailar's meat on Haihe East Road, which was led by his children. He moved once among his families. Meat is sold by the catty, liquor is cooked by the boss himself, and horseradish and dried tofu are mixed with Mao Cong as snacks. It's delicious. It's amazing.
Gong Huiqing's hotpot in hengshan road, originally thought that it would not feel like eating in a small restaurant, was conquered after eating it. Yuci mutton and scorpions on the plane are delicious, and there is a barbecue in the hot pot restaurant, which is more delicious than the hot pot [covering your face]. Why not call a barbecue shop?
Situ Street is the new street here. I ate at his house for 20 years. The meat is cut by hand, and it definitely tastes like the meat planed by the machine. In recent years, the store has become bigger and bigger, and the price has become higher and higher. But now the boss's wife wants to call her aunt, and the service is as good as ever. The soaked silkworm chrysalis is delicious [yi tooth].
Food is subjective, and whether it is delicious or not varies from person to person. As far as the hot pot in Harbin is concerned, there are still many choices. The representative of charcoal hot pot, charcoal house, is everywhere. The "old archway" branch specializing in Yunnan hot pot is also opened one by one. Hot pot star "Haidilao" also opens a shop in Haxi, and there are long queues every day. If you have nothing to do, you can enjoy it. If you have a receipt, you can skate for free. Sichuan's old stove hot pot is crazy enough, but the rest are also elites. There are many hot pots in Cantonese cuisine, such as Ruyi Square, Lingxian Carved Chicken and all kinds of Chaoshan beef hot pots. These are all good choices and taste good. Tell me some of my favorite shops! The address of "Laokang Hotpot" is Xinheng Modern, which is in the residential area opposite to the terminal of 14 Road. The location is hidden and the signboard is not obvious. Take your time. But the business area inside is not small and there are many people. Meat is sold by the catty, which is very delicious. There is also a "Laosan Charcoal Hotpot", which is in the Hongqi community and also in the community. The meat is delicious. Although they are all frozen meat, they are not fresh meat, but they are very fragrant.
The best hot pot? This may require the classification of hot pot. If you only look at the northeast hot pot, I think the snacks in the north are the best. On Xuanwei Street in Nangang, his family only drives for three hours a day and has a meal at noon. The boss and his wife are called the condor heroes of Harbin Food Festival. His hot pot ingredients include hand-cut mutton, sauerkraut, frozen tofu and so on, but ordinary ingredients have an extraordinary taste. If you try them, you will know that it is absolutely glad that you came. Remember that his house has no brand.
Answering this kind of question becomes an advertisement if you are not careful. But this advertisement is really wrong, because people don't give us advertising fees at all, even if they give me a discount, they won't pull me.
But I just know that there is such a mutton hotpot, and his house is really, really hot.
Just the day before yesterday, I went to his house for dinner. I took the picture above.
Speaking of this boss, there are some short stories. This eldest brother was originally from a nearby village. When our unit was the hottest, he worked as a loader in our factory. That job, especially tired, doesn't earn much. This big brother didn't work very hard. As a result, he called our factory to drive away. Then, he went to work in the tea city. As a result, after working for a few days, he still couldn't eat hard and went to a hot pot restaurant to work. He found that the hot pot restaurant business was very hot, and he didn't need any chefs or skills. He got worse at work every day, and the hot pot restaurant fired him again. He is looking for a job near the tea city again. This guy doesn't make much money, but he is a foodie and loves to make friends. When renting a house, I always invite a bunch of friends with skills to his house for drinks. He worked in a hot pot restaurant, so he went back to the hot pot without any trouble. Everyone praised his hot pot for its delicious taste, and it soon spread all over the tea city. A boss told him to prepare one table and two tables at home, and go to his house party at night to give him some money.
This guy's head is alive, so I thought, I'll just do it. This is the origin of his hot pot, and now, the hot pot is where he rents it. Of course, he didn't rent that hut long ago, and he has almost demolished the first floor of that building. When eating at ordinary times, dozens of tables in his house are full, and dozens of people often line up there, almost every day.
His family has never hung up, and everyone calls this hot pot by his surname.
This hot pot, located in a building in the community, can't be seen outside. Even if you tell the location, it is particularly difficult to find. The only way is to smell the thick mutton as soon as you enter the community. Follow the smell of mutton and you will always find it.
His family has been eating mutton for many years. For so many years, the quality of his mutton has not changed, but the price has gone up. Now, his mutton is sold by Jin, 50 Jin, and my family of four can eat two Jin. Plus other side dishes, we stuttered for four times, almost 300 yuan, which was not cheap at all.
His family also has a small problem, that is, a few bowls of small pickles are served as soon as he sits down. You think it's free to order food by table, but in fact it's all charged, and you're not prompted at all. This is annoying. But everyone went to his house to eat mutton, so we left it alone.
Now, this boss still maintains the fine tradition of hard work and plain living on weekdays. When eating, you see a thin old man wearing a sea soul shirt like a waiter, carrying two big pots and pouring water on the table. That's the boss.
After talking for a long time, I still didn't say his name or which neighborhood he was in.
I'm not talking about this!
Why do you want to advertise him?
Lao Kang, now a master of hot pot, has opened several stores. Mutton is affordable, crab sticks and shrimp balls are all good, and several side dishes in his family are also delicious.
Northern snacks, according to the previous, his mutton was killed in the morning, cut in the morning, it was fresh, and he stopped doing business in the afternoon.
Beilaishun, an old-fashioned hot pot, is at the intersection outside Daoli Road, which is better than a charcoal house.
Fish tofu, holiday hot pot, new hot pot.
There is a hot pot restaurant in Han Xiang Street, Nangang. The meat is delicious, tender and fragrant. The meat is processed by the whole live mutton purchased by the boss himself in Ximeng, and serving is enough. Now it's super delicious to cut the breast with his hands, and all the small ingredients are mixed by himself. It has been open for 10 years. They all eat hot pot at his house. Address: No.0/0, Han Xiang Street.
