I have a bold idea ... do Changsha people spend all the money saved by buying a house on food?
This article is about the sixth food I ate when I traveled to Changsha in early 2020. This is also the most expensive meal I have ever eaten during my trip to Changsha.
1 The per capita consumption in this store is a bit high. This is a very exquisite barbecue shop. A friend who knows Changsha told me that the barbecue in this shop is "the freshest ingredient in Changsha", and almost all the materials are imported from half the world.
The thick cut ox tongue goes down with this knife, and 500 yuan has one. I ordered a table of meat magnificently, with a per capita price of 500, and the price was not close to the people at all. However, a shop like Changsha can only be regarded as a bit high in the middle end, and there are many people who come to eat.
I asked the waiter: How can we make our per capita consumption lower? A: ① Six people (or more) come together. 2, don't order that cow tongue, so it can reach about 300 per capita. Well, I can see that this is a place that can't "make do", otherwise it won't eat well.
All right, just eat it once.
2 Changsha, there are more than stinky tofu. I found that people's understanding of stinky tofu in Changsha is like misunderstanding of Regan Noodles in Wuhan next door: Changsha = stinky tofu.
In fact, the food in Changsha is more than stinky tofu. Just as everyone knows that Lin Chi-ling is a model in baby sounds, it is often overlooked that she is a schoolmaster with high emotional intelligence.
Hunan cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines of Han cuisine culture, with its own system. In Changsha, there are ancestral rice noodles with a bowl of nine yuan, and there are also high-quality restaurants in the sparsely populated high-cold building. Even barbecue seafood and Japanese food have their own systems.
Let's go back to this Japanese meal I ate. Although it is a Japanese meal, the barbecue is the best Australian beef, red and white, and the pattern is as delicate and beautiful as marble.
He Niu is "the most expensive beef in the world", which is my first time to eat.
Before, I only heard friends who like western food say that beef sauce is tender, and I don't want it to melt in my mouth like this, which requires extremely high storage environment and baking temperature. Each table is equipped with a separate waiter, well dressed and holding a scale to measure, cut meat and barbecue, and distribute them to plates by the gram.
When all the fine sand in the funnel leaks out, the meat "wakes up" and can be put into the baking tray. Interestingly, the beautiful waiter brother will distribute food according to the size and face value of the diners present. When he meets a fatter one, he will give more. When I meet my little sister at the dinner table, he will give priority to service.
The oil of this meat will melt at 25 degrees Celsius, and the waiter will stand by and wait with a watch. When the time comes, the meat will leave the plate for a second.
3 "Changsha style" pays attention to Changsha people's "eating" in this respect. Diners can eat a bowl of their favorite rice noodles in the whole city, and people who cook food can make a marinade in dozens of processes just to match that bowl of rice noodles.
Merchants probably know that Changsha people are willing to spend money on food, so they collect local foods "at all costs", such as beef imported from Australia, pork belly imported from Spain, and black truffles imported from France ... That's why it is rumored that the ingredients in this store are "the first fresh" in Changsha.
My personal recommendation: organic vegetable salad with crab meat and avocado. This is the most upscale "hodgepodge" I have ever eaten. Organic ingredients are rich and fresh, which is more suitable for people who are picky about vegetables. Mixed with perilla-flavored salad dressing, the entrance is refreshing, and the aftertaste of crab meat is light and delicious.
Especially when I went to the toilet halfway, I fell in love with the jelly-like mouthwash on the washstand. ...
4 Changsha. Enjoy the meal. The six of us ate for more than three hours. The environment and taste are so comfortable that some of us are reluctant to leave. After all, we are not the kind of people who often visit high-end restaurants and always want to "enjoy" it at once.
This shop is located in the back floor of a shopping mall. It looks very quiet in the noise, decorated with dark colors, some elegant and more "advanced" atmosphere. The floor-to-ceiling windows are huge, clean and bright, and people can't help but want to take a picture with the feeling of that moment. Generally speaking, the environment and taste are suitable and comfortable.
It is worth mentioning that during the dinner, I observed that the barbecue in this shop is not pickled, but only dipped in a small bowl of lemon juice, and the meat slices can even be eaten raw. Just like the sentence in China on the Tip of the Tongue: High-end ingredients only need the simplest cooking method. ...
High-quality beef can conquer the most critical tongue only by roasting it for three or four minutes, half-cooked, or even without sauce. ...
