? Two buns and a bowl of fried liver?

The steamed stuffed bun shop at the intersection of Xisi Road in old Beijing is believed to be the memory of many people who lived in Sijiu City as children. As a senior foodie, I have no resistance to this time-honored old shop, so I spent most of my rest days in the past to come to this legendary place.

at ten o'clock in the morning, I found that there was a long queue, which was inaccurate. I should have taken a long number, and the person who took the number had already reached the booth of another store. The waiter was kind enough to remind me to wait for two hours when paying, which is really a long time.

clearly marked: just two steamed stuffed buns &; Stir-fried liver, a catty of pork, green onion and steamed stuffed bun, 6 yuan, a large bowl of stir-fried liver, 18 yuan and a small bowl of 9 yuan.

Xisi steamed stuffed bun is characterized by half-baked flour, thin skin, tender and juicy soup. After tasting it, I was really disappointed. The taste of the half-baked flour itself was a little worse. Coupled with the strong sauce flavor, if I didn't look at the steamed stuffed bun with mixed oil, it would be difficult for me to taste the steamed stuffed bun with meat.

In a word, the sauce completely covers the original umami taste of the ingredients, leaving only the salty taste. Isn't this the only way used in the past to deal with pork with fast-deteriorating taste in canteens? Well, a shop selling 3, buns a day probably won't have this trouble, but what about you? Sauce bag? It's too strong.

I'm really sorry for the delicious experience I wanted for three hours, and the price of steamed buns is really a little expensive! Is it true that most traditional food stores will have this problem after being changed into chain commercialization? The commercial reputation has been played out, but the taste has really changed! Fried liver tastes good, but compared with other places, it seems to be no different.

So, to sum up, this visit to the store was a bit of a failure, so don't go there if you are interested. I don't know how he ate it, considering that a gourmet was still very enthusiastic in recommending it before. Maybe he didn't eat steamed buns. Have you ever encountered something similar?
