Unlike Chenzhou, which I wrote on a whim, it is a city I have always wanted to go to, because the barbecue here is so famous that it attracts people who love barbecue like me. You know Paopao has many friends in Changsha. They even drive to Yueyang for a barbecue ... and crayfish. It is estimated that many people don't know Yueyang is an important crayfish breeding base, and at least 20 million crayfish are transported to all parts of the country every day.
Therefore, the local people will tell me that Yueyang is the undertaker of Hunan supper.
This time I ate alone in Yueyang for a day and two nights. Although time is tight, because of the fast pace and large appetite, all the shops that want to eat are basically finished. Some are well-known shops, and some are small shops only for local people, but they are all great.
For each family, first of all, if you want to be famous, the most famous barbecue shop in the local area must be Sanmao. If you want to go, you have to go to the main store in Paotai Mountain.
Sanmao Barbecue is now estimated to have many shops all over the country, because it is open to join.
When you sit down, you can see a round iron plate on each table. Later, I learned that it was specially used for frying leek eggs.
Here it is. It looks ugly, but the tables are all in order, and I can't avoid it out of curiosity.
Put some oil first, then spread the leek kang, and beat the eggs directly on the leek. The iron plate is very hot and it is made quickly.
Actually, it's the best leek egg I've ever eaten, especially fresh and tender, with a unique aroma. No wonder it's his signature, and it still makes my mouth water when I think about it.
Wazi fish is also delicious, but it is actually a catfish with a big mouth.
The fish is tender, and even the thickest part is delicious. It looks red, but it's not particularly spicy. Pepper in Hunan is not to cover up everything, but to improve taste and increase points.
It is necessary to roast butter when eating barbecue in Hunan.
Butter is a bull's breast. You should understand its preciousness just by listening to it. Each cow is only four or five taels, so it is also called golden meat.
Bake the butter over low heat, without too much seasoning. Sprinkle chopped green onion when baked to a certain extent. After sprinkling chopped green onion, quickly wrap the chopped green onion with butter, so that the high temperature can force the chopped green onion out. Baked butter is full of fat and fragrant, full of burnt fragrance, with both Q-bomb of tendons, tender and smooth meat and the fragrance of waxy oil.
When I eat, what I eat is the pleasure of hard and crisp shell and fried oil inside. I really can't get tired of hearing this stuff.
Pipeline reinforcement is rare in our country, but not here.
This part is particularly crisp, but not hard. It's crisp and not greasy at all.
Plate stiffeners are relatively dry and more elastic.
Red willow kebabs are just so-so This Xinjiang is better.
This is chicken cartilage. I like this part. I will feel very happy if I bite the cartilage in the middle.
Roasted beef tendon is fat and thin, which doubles the satisfaction, but it is easy to get bored if you eat too much.
Roasted squab is not common, but I think it tastes so-so.
Mainly because it's too dry, I prefer to eat squab. Crispy skin and tender meat with juice are top grade.
I like this kind of dried fruit very much. Qianzi, Hunan, is mostly smoky and chewy. This is my dish.
Sanmao barbecue is very famous, but it may be that I ate too much delicious food in Hunan, but I didn't expect it to be so outstanding. After eating, my favorite is scrambled eggs with leeks, which is a bit unexpected.
Later, I went to a shabby little shop that was highly respected by the local people, called the paper mill Lao Li barbecue. It was far away, and it was raining that day. I took a taxi one way and killed almost 100 yuan. There is basically no environment in the store, it is messy and there is no service. I rely entirely on self-help.
There are not many dishes in the whole store, just a few. This string is made of meat and rubber bands, and the taste of his house is stronger than that of Sanmao.
There are also tube tendons and beef, and beef skewers are particularly delicious and tender.
I also ordered grilled crucian carp and put it directly on the iron plate. They like to use this iron plate here.
Crucian carp is particularly dry and crispy.
You can also order stinky tofu in the store, but it's not made by his family. His business is good, and everyone who sells stinky tofu nearby follows suit.
Stinky tofu has plenty of ingredients, but it can be fried harder. I like the kind that tastes hard and crisp.
But overall, it's good. I'm almost a CD myself.
His family has a particularly amazing collocation, that is, this bean is cold, not cheap, a small ten dollars, can not eat a few mouthfuls.
But it's really refreshing and greasy. The beans are very fragrant and slightly sweet.
These are the two restaurants, mainly engaged in barbecue. After all, a person should leave more space for himself when foraging, but Yueyang's midnight snack didn't stop there.
Tianbao shrimp tail is also a famous shop, and the bald head on the far left is the boss Huang Tianbao.
The main course of his family is shrimp tail. As soon as you enter the door, you can see the shrimp tails packed and waiting for the pot.
And some cauldrons.
Put the cold dishes directly in the freezer.
The taste of shrimp tail is not bad, but it is not outstanding. Being in Hunan, the demand is inevitably rising.
Although it's a shrimp tail, it's still full, q-bomb.
A person can only peel shrimp by himself when eating, and his eyes are full of tears.
It can be seen that the state of shrimp is very QK, which is the skill of Hunan people. You don't need whole shrimp, but you can still cook the taste of whole shrimp.
This shop highly recommended this cold eel, and found it very unpalatable.
This is the first time I have eaten such a bad eel. It is fishy and bitter.
Braised pig's trotters are average.
Not bad, but I have no memory at all.
Stinky tofu, like Lao Li's barbecue in the paper mill, was made in a nearby shop. After booking in the store, the boss will have it delivered and the payment will be paid to the sender.
It's really that the shop is on fire, and the surrounding area can catch fire!
The stinky tofu in this house is more delicious than that ordered in my hometown.
Stir-fried more thoroughly and the seasoning is more fragrant.
The green bean paste is also made by another nearby company, but it is the best green bean paste I have ever eaten.
Some time ago, I shared Hunan Spicy Huan with delicious mung bean sauce. Although it is 90% similar to what I drink here, it is still a sigh of relief.
Brother Geng's food stall used to be full at ten o'clock in the evening.
Salted duck has been eaten for many years, and salted fish is the first time.
The fish is tight, fresh and fragrant, sweet and soft in the mouth, but full of stamina, spicy and spicy, which impressed me and made me fall in love.
You must eat ginger and spicy series when you come to Yueyang. It turns out that ginger snakes are sold everywhere here. Because of the epidemic, snakes can't eat, so I ordered a spicy chicken feet with ginger.
Ginger flavor and spicy taste are very prominent, and chicken feet are soft and glutinous. It is a standard appetizer and most suitable for mouth-to-mouth.
His ginger and spicy series is good, but it's not the best I've ever eaten.
Delicious shrimp is definitely the key. If you don't eat more in Hunan, you will regret it when you go back!
They are all keen on putting perilla in the shrimp here, and I quite like the taste.
Just mentioned that the ginger and spicy series of Geng Brothers food stall is not the best I have ever eaten, so now I will share with you my favorite place to make ginger and spicy series.
This is an old shop. At present, he has eaten a lot of ginger and spicy series, and his family has always been the first.
I ordered a ginger bullfrog at his house to taste. It's really good. It's worth going again.
You can tell how spicy this bullfrog is at a glance, and its aroma is even more fragrant. From the moment it is served, there is no way to control the secretion of saliva.
Bullfrogs are very fresh, they can be eaten with meat, and they are not small. Look at the thick thighs, haha!
That's a lot of weight. I almost fished out two bowls like this, and I couldn't help myself. I ate it all by myself, sweaty and super cool.
Hunan spicy fun shared some time ago is mainly based on ginger spicy series. Although the products are already very good, like the Geng Shi brothers in front, they can compete with each other, but the level of Yueyang Xiaojia is still a little poor. The main feeling is that the ratio and temperature of ginger and pepper are poor.
There are too many choices to eat lobster in Yueyang, so I chose some special ones. This He Xiaogu Shrimp and Crab House is quite good.
A person, unable to eat too much, directly ordered the signature braised prawns in the store.
Some people may wonder, shouldn't oil stew be the cooking method of shrimp in Wuhan? Why are you eating here?
In fact, Yueyang is only separated from Jingzhou, Hubei by a river, 200 kilometers away from Wuhan. Therefore, in Yueyang dialect and food, Hubei flavor is also permeated. Many contacts with Wu Hanyou, for example, many people here will choose to eat Regan Noodles for breakfast!
The shrimps here are relatively large, because people in Hunan don't care about the size of shrimps, but more about whether they are delicious, so in fact, there are very few shrimps here, which are basically small shrimps.
Shrimp peeling is really tiring. I usually eat at least ten pounds of lobster, but now I just want to eat two pounds and go, haha!
The best thing about his family is that he can have a meal after eating shrimp. This kind of flat powder is difficult to store and transport, and it is hard to eat outside Hunan.
The meat of crayfish is very tender. This soup is spicy and sweet, with smooth rice noodles. It's really tasty and warm.
I know you will be greedy, so think about me, how greedy I am to write here!
Fine-wool catering is highly recommended by my local friends and I, and it is particularly hard to find. I couldn't find a taxi for tens of dollars, so I finally called the boss to pick it up.
The murals on the wall are also very interesting. It feels like a shop with a story.
His family is ordering food, which is a bit like a farmer's cauldron.
There are also menus on the wall, but many of them are not available this season.
It takes me a lot of time to order food. I don't think I've ever seen a man come so far to the store to eat alone. The aunt who ordered food thought about this feeling that I couldn't eat, and felt too heavy, and tossed for a long time.
The signature steamed shrimp is a must. As explained earlier, I won't say why Yueyang uses the famous steamed shrimp in Wuhan as the main dish here. It's normal. Haha!
It's the biggest shrimp I've ever eaten in Hunan, but it's still not as big as the shrimp I recommended here in Hefei.
White cheeks can explain the water quality of lobster's growing environment.
It is yellow. I like shrimp heads best. This is yellow.
The meat is full and elastic, with a natural slightly sweet taste.
It comes with dipping sauce, but I prefer the original flavor myself. Dip in the sauce always feels that the taste of the meat itself is covered.
I also ordered an oily tofu, which was very appetizing.
It's really delicious, too Oil tofu is full and thick, absorbing soup. Slightly spicy, especially appetizing.
I also ate some snacks, but with the passage of time, the combat effectiveness continued to decline. Liu's noodle restaurant for the deaf and dumb used to get better every day, so it's worth eating.
I specially chose a non-food meal. There are not many people in the shop. You know, what a person fears most when he goes out to eat is that the store is too busy to even have a seat. It's really not good to have a meal and sit down. ......
Continue to choose flat powder to eat. It is not difficult to eat round powder out of Hunan. If Pingfen really missed it, it's gone.
I ordered the signature spicy beef rice noodles, as well as lotus root dumplings and soybean milk.
Spicy beef rice noodles are delicious, not very spicy, but very fresh.
Spicy beef is just a little beef jerky. Large pieces are chewy, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.
The powder is very smooth. It is difficult to eat powder in Hunan. Any small shop will be delicious.
I have never eaten lotus root jiaozi before. The lotus root here is great, but not this month. I can't order anywhere, so I can only eat this to appease myself.
So I guess this should be made in the season and then frozen, otherwise no other family sells lotus roots, and there should be no lotus roots in his family. After all, there is nothing special about this growing thing.
Still, it's delicious. The stuffing is a little spicy, the diced lotus root is crisp to bite, the seasoning of the meat stuffing is delicious, and the shell is soft and tender, giving people a feeling of being fried now, which is very rewarding.
The spicy Huanjia shared some time ago has a crispy lotus root pill, which is delicious. I feel that people there may be better at making lotus roots.
By the way, soybean milk is good, very refreshing, not too sweet and greasy.
Besides, this bean skin king is also good. Well, you should be used to seeing Wuhan elements here. Ha ha!
However, this bean skin is different from other bean skins.
Not expensive. I ordered a signature Chili fried meat.
As you can see, this kind of bean skin is completely different from Wuhan's in shape and taste. This is more like a multi-grain pancake, with a thin, hard and brittle crust and no oil at all.
The bean skin in Wuhan is oily and tastes softer, more fragrant and tougher.
In this way, it's a bit like rice balls again. Anyway, except for the name, it's nothing like bean skin.
It's full of real Chili fried meat, just like you ordered a dish and then wrapped it in rice. In fact, I prefer Wuhan bean skin in taste, because I especially like oily food, but I have to admit that the bean skin here may be healthier and fresher.
The choice of fillings is also more diverse, and the taste of Wuhan bean skin is relatively single.
I also ate mala Tang, which was highly recommended by a local friend. It's a very shabby shop, especially close to the Geng Shi brothers' food stall.
This form is rare in our side. I think it looks very appetizing and I can't help but want to shoot more.
I ironed a bowl of materials, and the twist inside was particularly delicious.
This qianzi is not bad either, but I took flowers, so you can understand its delicacy, and your hands are shaking!
I also ate a lot of salted duck, Jiuge Xiandu Hue and so on. Because I wanted to buy some to send back to my friends, I tasted the famous ones.
Hunan's salted duck is fragrant and chewy, usually with a strong or light smoky smell. Perfect with snacks or wine. Most of them are not too spicy, and even they will feel a little sweet when eaten in the mouth, but the spicy taste will gradually come out when you eat the fine products slowly.
I really don't think Hunan cuisine must be crazy and spicy. The extensive application and extreme understanding of pepper are the soul here.
I also ate a takeaway at the hotel, in order to record and broadcast it for you.
You can also review my eating video again, and it is estimated that you can eat two more bowls of rice after watching it.
In fact, I didn't eat too much when I went to Yueyang this time (I will go to Zhuzhou later), but there is no shame in sweeping so many shops by myself, haha!
Yueyang itself is a relatively interesting city, but because I am only interested in eating, I didn't go to any scenic spots. You can punch in if you want to go in the future. After all, not everyone can eat nothing from morning till night like me. In retrospect, it seems that when I talk about scenery, I will look up at the sky. ......
Yueyang's barbecue is a must. It is a characteristic branch of Hunan barbecue. Many kebabs here will look like they are covered with powder. It looks delicious at first glance, but if you eat too much, you will feel a little tired. Then mutton skewers are generally larger and more realistic.
These shops I recommend are all good. It was all found out by my keen sense of eating and recommended by local friends. There is no place to step on thunder, but a shop like He Xiaogu and a paper mill barbecue Yueyang Xiaojia Fine Wool Museum must have the strength to let me miss it. Of course, I hope I can eat more delicious shops next time.
Finally, I would like to thank all the babies who read the post carefully. I am a food lover, and I will pay no price for food. On the way of foraging everywhere, I have been trying to make myself eat more, more refined, better and finer because of everyone's expectation. I hope that relying on my words and true feelings, more people will know and understand food and trust me more.
At the end of this article, I will write the food strategy stickers of Zhuzhou and Changsha. Stay tuned. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me privately!
