The dishes at Jiaheyuan are mainly Shandong cuisine.
The reason why it is called this is because the chef who runs the stove is from Shandong cuisine, but now he has switched from meat to vegetarian.
The cooking techniques still inherit the characteristics of Shandong cuisine.
The diner ordered several dishes. Since he is a Shandong cuisine chef, he must order the famous Shandong cuisine Jiuzhuan Chengdan.
The so-called Jiuzhuan actually uses pig's large intestine as raw material. I don't know what the image of this vegetarian dish is.
When the store brought it to the table, it looked bright and thick at first glance. It was indeed no different from the raw materials of meat dishes.
When I tasted it, it was replaced with tofu skin. It seems that it takes a lot of effort to roll the tofu skin into a lifelike large intestine.
The land of fish and rice is a home-cooked dish. Judging from the appearance, it contains corn, diced carrots, and probably fish fillets. When you taste it carefully, you don't know what the "fish" is.
The store explained that the "fish" is actually konjac.
After being processed to remove starch, konjac has the effects of lowering cholesterol, cleaning the gastrointestinal tract, and preventing obesity and diabetes, making it the most important raw material for vegetarian food.
The name of Jiaheyuan's vegetarian dishes is no different from the dishes in ordinary restaurants, but it doesn't have that meaty taste, but the taste is similar to meat dishes.
Perhaps, this is what makes Jiaheyuan’s vegetarian food so coveted.
Jiaheyuan's special dishes such as "Jinbo Pudu", "Huangpao Jiashen" and "Qianlong Vegetarian Vegetable Treasure" are made from pure melons, vegetables and mushrooms, refreshing and pleasant; imitation meat series "Jiahe Sauce Pork", "Boiled Fish", "Twice-cooked Fish"
"Stir-fried Sausage", the appearance and taste are almost the same as the real ones; Cantonese classics "Abalone Sauce White Mushroom", "Two-color Sea Cucumber", "Steamed Snow Fish", etc.
Before the meal, you can browse the books in the store, play chess, and appreciate calligraphy and painting works.
