Many tourists who have been to Hangzhou complain that Erchuan, the representative snack in Hangzhou, is one-sided, the famous Dongpo meat is sweet braised pork, and the poetic West Lake vinegar fish tastes strange ... Hangzhou is really a delicious food.
But regarding this statement, Hangzhou locals never agree with it. In their view, it is not that there is no food in Hangzhou, but that you have not found a place! In Hangzhou, there are some hidden restaurants in almost every area and every street. They look unremarkable, but once you taste them, you will definitely become a repeat customer, and you are willing to wait in line for more than half an hour just to taste the most authentic taste of Hangzhou in the store.
Baozhongbao Restaurant
Address: No.224, Qingtai Street
Per capita: 85 yuan
There is a Jianghu legend: at the beginning of the store, the boss wanted every dish to be perfect, from the selection of ingredients to the cooking treatment to the taste of the final dish, so he named the restaurant Baozhongbao. A small restaurant that has been open for more than 2 years since it opened next to a residential area. Under the tasting of picky old Hangzhou diners, this store still stands, and its strength cannot be underestimated.
there is no menu, just follow the picture and order. Which dish is the best? It is difficult for the boss to choose, and every dish is a strength. Crispy large intestine is the top brand in the store. The marinated large intestine is heated in hot oil, and the boss uses the roast suckling pig technology on the pig large intestine. A light sauce should not be underestimated. The sour plum sauce, plum-pie-forest juice and red Zhejiang vinegar are mixed in proportion, which not only adds color and fragrance to the large intestine, but also does not usurp the host's role. The skin is thin and crisp, the intestines are fresh and chewy, and the sweet and sour sauce, as long as you take a bite, will become its diehard powder.
White pepper shrimp is also sought after by many foodies. The boss has been cooking for more than 2 years, and he wants to use South American shrimp, which has a thin shell and plump meat, and uses Japanese sauce. The shell is spicy and slightly sweet. It is recommended to chew it in your mouth, and the tip of your tongue cooperates with your lips and teeth to quietly separate the shrimp meat from the shell.
to be the king of waist flowers, the boss said that he only used the goods of old suppliers. Cleaning should be soaked in rice-washing water for three hours, and washed with flowing water for four hours, which is indispensable for one minute. When the water is boiled, the water needs to be boiled twice. The first time, the kidney flower is thrown in before the water is boiled, and the second time, the kidney flower is picked up when the water is about to boil again after the kidney flower is put into the pot. Only by grabbing the water twice can the waist flower be soft and tender.
Deming Hotel
Address: No.36 Huyu Road
Per capita: 18 yuan
Speaking of Deming Hotel, Hangzhou people almost know it. It is such a hotel, only 17 square meters, located in the alley next to Building 3, Bagua New Village, Fenghuangshan Road, Hangzhou. There is not even a menu in the store, but there is always a queue when it comes to meals. When there are many guests, you even have to make an appointment a few days in advance. Deming Hotel, not surprising to say, insists on cooking well in Hangzhou. Zhu Deming, the boss, went to the countryside in the 197s and worked as a cook in a match factory. Cauldron dishes that have been fried for weddings and funerals; Later, I sold aquatic products for ten years ... In 1995, at the edge of the old ceramics market in Hangzhou, the husband and wife cooked, served and cashed in, and for the first time, they put up the signboard of "Deming Hotel".
When you walk into Deming Hotel, you can smell a thick pot-stewed fragrance. Deming Hotel is the first one in Hangzhou to make a three-way platter. Deming Hotel has three kinds of bittern, and the raw materials are all selected by Deming himself. Beef must use beef shoulder meat, which is beautiful and chewy. Tripe must be killed now; Never use dead ducks. "Braised large intestine" is the signboard of the store. Shen Hongfei, a famous foodie, said after trying the braised large intestine of Deming's family, "It's the most difficult to rest on a summer night without this bowl of invincible thunderbolt exploding delicious famous large intestine". Different from red brine and white brine, Deming Hotel's practice belongs to "crispy brine". The large intestine tastes salty and sweet, and the taste is soft and chewy. Bite off the crispy aroma, salty and fresh, and the inside can be tender and juicy, and you don't need to dip any sauce. It is definitely the best in hangzhou dishes's heavy taste.
Fuyuanju Restaurant
Address: No.35, Hefang Street
Per capita: 97 yuan
Fuyuanju is also a legendary store. It is clear that it is a tourist business opened in Hefang Street. But the food is really good, so the locals have to come and compete with the tourists for seats. The wall is hand-painted by the old neighborhood and blessed with various fonts, which means simple and traditional decoration. Guo Baolian, the boss of Fuyuanju, is also an old Hangzhou. He started to learn to cook at the age of 15 and has been a chef for more than 3 years. He insisted on "being the best old hangzhou dishes". I heard that the seasonings in the store, such as rapeseed oil and Huyang soy sauce, are all brands used by Hangzhou people themselves.
Chicken in oil and crispy large intestine are signs that should not be missed. For people with weak willpower in front of the large intestine, the large intestine of Fuyuanju is a sugar-coated cannonball. The skin is wrinkled, the sauce is thin, and the crispy skin is crunchy with salty and sweet juice. The fat part is not greasy and chewy, and the thin part is crisp and fragrant.
Chicken in oil, the skin is crispy, the chicken is tender, covered with hot oil, and chopped green onion is fragrant. The chicken is clean, white and tender, half a chicken, neatly cut into half a finger width, and bite the meat with the chicken skin. Ah, this damn greasy smell.
Yuan Pang Private Kitchen
Address: No.199, Jianguo South Road
Per capita: 96 yuan
Every time you pass Jianguo South Road at a meal, there will always be a restaurant, which is almost full of excitement, and the strength shows what it means to be full of people. This restaurant is Yuan Pang Private Kitchen. What the store does is very authentic Hangzhou cuisine. It seems that most of the people who come in for dinner are regular customers. Those who order, eat and eat basically communicate in Hangzhou dialect.
Here, the large intestine can be braised, stir-fried, fried with onion or fried with pepper, and the large intestine is handled cleanly, no matter how it is done. Hangzhou rolled chicken has no chicken, but dried bamboo shoots are rolled in the bean skin, which is cheap enough. There are sweet and sour tenderloin tables and tables, which are oily and bright, and are high-calorie "rice killers". At the end of the meal, you will find that eating here is not about amazing taste, creative collocation and more lively fireworks. This is the most familiar taste for locals.
