-Talk about the delicious food of heaven and earth and the flavor of hometown.
Everyone in the old city of Quanzhou has a "Yue Lai" complex. "Yuelai" is the name of the restaurant, which sounds very similar to the ancient "Longmen Inn", but "Yuelai" doesn't stay in the store and only cooks, but fries Minnan cuisine.
First of all, this article is not Amway, and I don't know Yuelai's boss or its business model. I just told you about the Yue Lai in the eyes of an ordinary Quanzhou person and the Yue Lai I have eaten over the years.
It is said that when Yuelai lived on 9 1 Road, the place was cramped, but because the food was affordable and delicious, people in the old city of Quanzhou were willing to go to Yuelai as long as there were birthday banquets, full moon banquets and downhill banquets. Although the facade is narrow, the food is really delicious and gives the host a decent look.
My little daughter, from the full moon banquet, one-year-old birthday banquet, one-year-old birthday banquet and sixteen-year-old birthday banquet, was held in Yuelai. Many of my relatives and friends, once they celebrate their birthdays, also like to hold banquets in Yuelai.
If you ask a person in the old city of Quanzhou, have you ever eaten "Yuelai"? Most of those who haven't eaten are newcomers who have just settled in Quanzhou, while those in the old city often don't eat or eat.
Only a handful, Yuelai has been operating for more than 30 years. During this period of time, Yue Lai is getting bigger and bigger. The old shop on 9 1 road has become history. Now, across from Xinhua Road and Cao Fang Garden, high-rise buildings have been built with gorgeous facades.
Now it's not as narrow as it used to be. You can openly accept high-end wedding banquets, but ordinary people will still go after a birthday.
Having said that, what are the delicious dishes in the old city of Quanzhou that make Quanzhou people linger? I will take you to the birthday party today.
This is my mother's family dinner, a big private room, brothers and sisters, old mother. I'm glad to get together to celebrate my birthday.
Let's see what dishes Yuelai has.
I arrived with Mrs. Xu, who was shaking all over. The waiter brought two bundles of drinks, one was peanut butter and the other was passion fruit juice.
The side dishes on the table are traditional pickles and peanuts from Quanzhou.
This paper focuses on the salt breast of Quanzhou people. Hairtail is cut into small pieces, pickled and then fried, which is especially suitable for dinner and wine.
I can finish my beer with such a small dish. I was a little drunk before my brothers arrived.
Family dinners are better than banquets. Quanzhou people have a bad habit. Whenever a banquet is held, everyone has to wait until after eight o'clock in the evening and they are hungry, so it is really a last resort to hold a banquet.
Family dinners are different. After talking and laughing, all the brothers and sisters arrived and served.
Boiled octopus I once wrote an article. You can have a look if you are interested. Do you really know about boiled octopus? Without this step, nothing tastes good.
Octopus, be sure to blow your head, ink and so on, so that you can have fun.
At that time, the present Portunus crab was firm in meat and not particularly full in cream, but as tender and fragrant as June yellow, it was even more delicious.
It can be said that it is not a Minnan dish. This dish is not well cooked and very tough. My wife Xu can't bite at all.
The lobster is very fresh. The wonderful thing is that my nephew completely peeled off a lobster head and lamented that he didn't take pictures as a souvenir.
It should be a family dinner, so the dishes are not in order, otherwise it should be birthday noodles.
Tricholoma matsutake is very popular recently, and its unique mushroom flavor will make a soup very delicious.
With mushrooms and mussel ribs soup, Quanzhou cuisine is delicious.
Today's dish, worthy of a thumbs up, is this dish, very good!
I strongly recommend going to Yue to try this fat sausage!
Compared with Shandong cuisine, Guangdong cuisine, crispy large intestine and Sichuan cuisine, Quanzhou's large intestine sea cucumber pot can definitely take the lead.
The beauty is that the oil in the fat intestine is still on the intestinal wall, which is fragrant, smooth and tender. Don't dare to eat, you must try it!
Eating noodles on birthdays is the standard for traditional China people to celebrate their birthdays.
Today's birthday noodles are made of Quanzhou noodles, authentic and pure Minnan cuisine.
I once said that the most test of a Minnan chef's skill is to make this Quanzhou noodle. If you want to know the knowledge of noodles, you can read my articles "Noodles on the Dining 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 the practice of Cantonese cuisine in southern Fujian, because the marinating of squab is the practice of marinating in southern Fujian. The 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 cakes!
Quanzhou peanut soup is also the 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, you can read my article "Potato Rentang, this potato is not that potato".
Of course, birthday cakes are indispensable for birthdays, and our family is really happy to sing birthday songs together.
Birthday should have a sense of ceremony, which can only be completed when the whole family is present.
"Yuelai" is the most common place where Quanzhou people hold ceremonies.
