I want to put aside the taste differences caused by the difficulty of inheritance. People in every place have their own obsession with hometown food, which has been integrated into the long years and grown up with memories. People don't know that I am a serious roast duck lover. The strongest record when I was a child was that a person ate a whole roast duck, which showed my love. Even if I am greedy for roast duck now, I will not hesitate to eat it.
Quanjude and Cheap Square are well-known places to eat roast duck in Beijing, and friends who come to Beijing also go straight to try them. But as far as I know, most Beijingers don't have to eat roast duck unless it's a banquet. After all, with the development of the times and the rapid development of catering, the up-and-coming roast duck restaurant has become very popular. No matter the taste or service, the old-fashioned roast duck restaurant has many problems to consider.
I want to eat roast duck again recently. I chose the nearest Sanlihe Jingweizhai to satisfy my hunger. It's easy to find. It's on the third floor of Wanfang Shopping Mall. As soon as I got out of the elevator, I felt as if I had crossed into old Beijing. The gray brick wall with deep tile in equipotential area, small blue-and-white porcelain table, Luohan chair seat, old plaque, carved Xiao Xuan window with wooden frame and lifelike stone lion can be said to be very careful in details.
Opposite the equipotential area, you will see an antique Bao Tongyin village. There is a lovely and interesting rabbit in old Beijing style in front of the stage, which used to be the cashier.
Before leaving, the waiter greeted us with a smile and led us into a small private room with a distinctive gray wall, wooden windows and a long wooden table, like a nostalgic yard.
The atmosphere of the whole restaurant is strong old Beijing style, the hall is spacious, the carved windows decorated with gray walls are hung with red lanterns, and posters and diplomas with a sense of the times are posted on the walls of the aisles.
Orderly kitchens, like stalls in old Beijing, are hung with the names of snacks and roast ducks, and interesting duck sculptures add a little cuteness.
As soon as you sit down, the waiter will bring a kettle and some free snacks, such as popcorn, crispy corn, boiled peanuts, peas and fried red fruits. You won't get bored when you wait for the food to be served. Help yourself to something, chat for a while, and the food will be served.
Avocado fruit and vegetable salad 49 yuan is a very rich cold salad. Avocado, orange, walnut kernel, quinoa, pitaya, lettuce, purple cabbage, vegetables and fruits are all fresh, with rich colors and nutrition. Sesame sauce is open, can be poured according to your own taste, refreshing and appetizing, and the taste is also very rich.
49 yuan, the combination of diced chicken, tenderloin and prawn in chicken, is said to have been lived in Baoding House by Emperor Kangxi, and the cook in the house cooked a dish with chicken and shrimp, which was greatly appreciated by Kangxi and has been passed down to this day. This dish is both tender and smooth of chicken and crisp of prawn, but it tastes a little sweet.
58 yuan, a rare fungus with the fragrance of black truffle and leek, is famous for its collection of various fungi. In fact, it is not interested in fungi, and it doesn't eat much at home. But after tasting this dish, it tastes really good, rich and not greasy. Although it's a vegetarian dish, it has a meaty feeling. It's really delicious, salty and delicious.
State banquet peony roast duck is 208 yuan. After waiting for a while, the signature peony roast duck came. The roast duck chef carefully sliced the freshly baked roast duck at the door of the small private room. The roast duck specially selected super duck embryos weighing more than 5 kg and 52 liang, which were baked in the oven on the spot and then presented on the diners' table.
The small dish dipped in roast duck is round, just along one side of the dish, which saves space and is beautiful. Guatiao, shredded onion, sugar, sweet noodle sauce and mustard sauce are all available.
Duck cake is put in a small cage, thin and soft, and not fragile. It's cute that two small cages fall together.
The first course is exquisite peony roast duck. At the moment when the waiter opened the insulation cover, the duck was ethereal and placed in the shape of peony flowers. Through the ancient poem "only peony is the true national color, and the capital moves when it blooms", it is really beautiful. A piece of roast duck *** 16 represents perfection.
The waiter will demonstrate two ways to wrap the roast duck: the first way is to spread out the roast duck cake, dip a piece of roast duck with meat in the roast duck sauce and put it on the top of the cake, then put a duck on the roast duck cake at dinner, put shredded onion in the middle, put melon strips on the first roast duck, then put the left crust in the middle, and then put the right crust in half.
The second method is baby package. Put two pieces of duck meat dipping sauce on top of the duck cake, put melon strips and shredded onion in the middle of the roast duck, fold the duck cake in half, and then fold the left and right cakes in half.
In addition to the peony-shaped roast duck, there are two plates of well-prepared roast duck, with duck skin and meat. The duck leg and the duck head are split in two, and there is a heating bag under the plate where the roast duck is placed, so that the roast duck will not cool down quickly. The ducks here are thin, crisp and tender, with bright red color. The rolled roast duck is oily and tender, and does not feel greasy at all. A roast duck was finished in a few minutes.
After eating the roast duck, the waiter will also offer a cup of "Gome fragrance" tea. There is a peony flower floating in the transparent glass, with osmanthus and honey below. The faint fragrance of flowers lingers, delicious and boring.
Small pear soup looks good in a small pot, with small particles of medlar and pear. Fresh and refreshing, sweet and pleasant, not heavy and the concentration and sweetness are just right.
Snacks made by eight shops in Beijing are hung with birdcage-shaped ornaments and placed in five layers. One snack is *** 16. Aiwowo, snowballing, walnut crisp and so on. My favorite is the cake with pumpkin-shaped pea yellow and rose filling, which is neither sweet nor greasy and delicious. Everything else is basically five-kernel stuffing, too sweet and too greasy. It would be nice to have more red bean paste or jujube paste in the future.
It was very hot, so I drank two bottles of beer. It seems that beer is standard when going out to eat now. Ordinary Yanjing Beer 10 yuan bottle.
To tell the truth, the service in this restaurant is really great. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the best service shop I have ever met when eating out. It's always Xiao Li, a beautiful woman in a pink coat and a black cloth skirt, who comes to serve food and serves snacks as soon as she sits down. When the duck cake was served, she bent down slightly with gloves on, tore it up and put it away. I'm embarrassed to see the waiter fooling around all the time. Let me tear it myself. The waiter kept smiling and saying nothing.
After the peony roast duck was served, he skillfully explained the meaning, and patiently demonstrated the wrapping methods of two kinds of roast duck, saying auspicious words while wrapping the edge and wishing everyone present. When I mentioned the Eight Pieces of Beijing, it was also a series of explanations, from smooth sailing to perfection, smooth and full of jokes, which made people feel comfortable and natural.
Before the meal is finished, the duck rack has been cleaned up. First, use a paper bag and then a handbag and put it on the edge of the seat. After eating, I carefully packed, bagged and carried it to the elevator before giving it to us. There are many small details that make people feel at home and won't be embarrassed.
Generally speaking, as a branch of Beijing-style cuisine which has been established for 65,438+06 years, it is satisfied with both the service and the taste. The price of per capita 100 yuan is acceptable for family gatherings or banquets for relatives and friends. After all, exquisiteness and comfort are more important than anything else.
