I have eaten in Northeast China, and the portions are huge! The food menu in the Northeast is really big. I remember a southern netizen once described that three people ordered six dishes at a Northeastern restaurant, which also included hard dishes such as pork stewed with vermicelli, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and pot-wrapped pork. The dishes were served. When I looked at it later, I saw that it was not served in a small plate at all, but simply served in a basin. Of course, if you couldn't finish it, it would be an absolute waste.

Northeastern cuisine has always been characterized by large portions and affordable prices. The reason why this impression is left on people is basically due to the following reasons.

1. Due to the character of Northeastern people, many people are probably unwilling to talk about this. Many people still have a bad impression of Northeastern people, but this cannot cover up the bold character of Northeastern people, so When you treat guests to a meal, you usually order more dishes. In addition, Northeastern people are more able to eat due to the weather and years of habits, so the dishes in restaurants are very large. This has a lot to do with people's personalities. For example, a piece of Guobao Pork is about the size of half a hand. If the dish size is too small, it can't hold several pieces, and everyone can't share it. In order to reflect the original taste, some places directly serve the food in a big pot or eat in front of the big pot.

2. Local catering characteristics: Northeastern dishes are basically stews, such as pork stewed with vermicelli, chicken stewed with mushrooms, molly stewed fish and other dishes, all of which contain meat and soup, so they are The dishes are all served in large bowls or small basins, so that other side dishes are basically large in quantity, otherwise it will be very uncoordinated. Because of the characteristics of the cuisine, the portions are relatively large. Most restaurants have this habit, so they have gradually formed the feature of large menu sizes.

3. Characteristics of ingredients: The dishes in the Northeast are relatively rough compared to those in the South, so the ingredients used are common ingredients on the market. Since they are common, the relative purchase price is also low, so the quantity is natural. Big and cheap. Unlike in the south where the raw materials are not as refined, abalone, sea cucumber, ham and other ingredients are used more often. Therefore, the cost of ingredients is relatively high, so the cuisine is also more exquisite, so naturally the serving sizes and plates are smaller.

Northeastern hotels are affordable restaurants, so the large and affordable dishes have become the mainstream choice for most people. This has led to a consumption habit in society. Even if you go to a high-end restaurant in the Northeast, even if the dishes are It's expensive but the menu is huge.
