What's the reason? The first point: mutton is not as good as it was 30 years ago. 30 years ago, Inner Mongolia sheep were all kept free-range on the grassland (just like stupid chickens), even local sheep were kept in the wild. Nowadays, most of them are fattened in captivity (just like fast-growing broilers). What's even more frightening is that more than 80% of hot pot restaurants don't even use such fattened sheep, but use new Zealand mutton which has been reprocessed by various so-called processes, and the new Zealand mutton which has been processed by major food companies has lost its original flavor and become authentic junk food.
The second point: soup base, now more than 80% of hot pot restaurants no longer burn bone soup, but adopt a lower cost, additive-to-soup method ... with all kinds of bone paste, meat paste, essence ... and so on, it smells fragrant all over the house, but it smells unnatural in the mouth and is extremely harmful to people's health!
The third point: the lack of craftsman spirit. At present, more than 80% of the owners of hot pot restaurants no longer study the taste and inheritance, but only study the mode and how to make money quickly. In order to attract customers' attention, regardless of the taste and service, they lead their employees to sing and dance.
The fourth point: The whole industry is caught in a vicious circle of low-price and low-quality competition. Looking at Harbin, there are hot pot restaurants everywhere, and the real good hot pot restaurants are less than 1% ... It is really the sorrow of Harbin! The sorrow of the times! The sorrow of society!
Hot pot, I personally like hotpot hotpot. Let's talk about hotpot hotpot. I look at cutting meat and look at small ingredients. Now, in most shops, meat is cut by machine, and ingredients are prepared by myself. I look at freedom. In fact, I have no skills. If it meets these two requirements, I suggest searching Charcoal House. I said this before, but I don't know now, but I can find it according to this standard.
It turned out that there was a small shop on Xuande Street in Innovation Street, which was very delicious. Now it's gone, and there is no advertising. No.30 Qiaonan Street, Chongqing Hot Pot, is the closest I have ever tasted to Chongqing. There are six tables in the shop, so I may not be able to eat it. I don't regret eating it. The hot pot and mutton in Xiqi, Muyan Street, Xiangfang District are delicious, and the Xianghe Garden in Tongda Street is also quite good.
I still prefer the old Beijing hotpot, which tastes quite good. The real old Beijing hotpot doesn't have so much seafood. A handful of dried dried dried seaweed is enough, and the dip is tofu milk, chives, mahjong, Chili oil and coriander powder. After washing mutton, put some Chinese cabbage and vermicelli in the hot pot, especially in summer, put a towel around your neck with bare arms in the sun, and it's cool to eat sweaty!
Harbin people like to eat hot pot, especially in winter. It is estimated that every Harbin person will have several favorite hot pot stores in his heart. So when it comes to the best food, it seems that everyone will have a criterion in mind.
I'm going to talk about my favorite hotpot restaurant today.
Yangshunzhai Hot Pot, located in Fengrun Street, which is full of delicious food, is a butcher shop that has been open for many years.
This is a halal restaurant, and we also remind everyone not to take food out of the store and respect the national habits of the owner.
The main feature of the store is a copper pot with charcoal fire and a clear water pot. After boiling the pot, put the medlar, jujube and dried shrimp into the pot and boil it. The smell from the bottom of the pot comes out, and then you can rinse the meat. Clear water pot has very high requirements for the quality of rinse products, especially meat. The ingredients in the store are also exquisite.
The mutton in the store is leg of lamb, which is delicious and tender, and it is especially delicious with the secret dip in the store! Hand-cut the meat, the meat is very thick, and after the meat is cooked, it is very tender in the mouth! Lamb meat, the leg of lamb with tendons. It tastes chewy and tender!
Special reminder that seafood must be rinsed or the taste and taste of meat will be affected.
Because it is a halal restaurant, the sauce beef and steamed dumplings in the restaurant are also delicious.
I don't think this proposition is valid. Whether it is delicious or not depends on personal taste. For example, everyone says that old Beijing instant-boiled mutton is delicious, but I just like Chongqing hot pot, so I'm definitely not interested in old Beijing instant-boiled mutton! But fortunately, my favorite food is instant-boiled mutton, so I can recommend several places for you.
A few years ago, the main instant-boiled mutton that Harbin people ate was really charcoal hot pot, and the charcoal fire building was quite hot at that time, and then Little Sheep. But in recent years, Sichuan hot pot and Chongqing hot pot have been fired in Harbin. The most advanced resident should be Chongqing Laozao Hotpot. At that time, his family was on fire and there was a long queue. Later, a large number of such hot pots were opened in Harbin, and now the popular one is the spicy restaurant opened in Bao Beier, which tastes ok and the price is a little expensive. Another hot pot I often go to is Lanxiang, which is available in Aijian and Development Zone, and also has spicy taste, but I personally prefer tomato pot. Xiabu Xiabu is cheaper and more popular in shopping malls.
Haidilao, which just entered Harbin recently, was really a mess. I didn't want to eat at all. I queued for at least two hours. When I first opened it, I had to wait for an afternoon. I was also drunk.
In fact, I really want to say that the hot pot that suits my taste is the best hot pot I personally think. It was opened by a friend of mine. It is called Chongqing Sijie Hot Pot in the next pedestrian street of Haxi Wanda apartment building, but it is no longer open. When he opened a shop, many Chongqing people and Sichuanese in Harbin came here to eat, saying that it was the most authentic Sichuan hot pot opened in Harbin. But my friend is honest and honest in business. When he goes to the South Pole to get goods, he takes the best beef and mutton. Even the owner of the Antarctic wholesale said that there are only two or three such good mutton in Harbin. As a result, because of the high purchase cost and the low passenger flow, the store soon became yellow, which I feel very regrettable.
This can be said simply, but it's not a foodie, but I prefer to eat it. Instant mutton originated from Manchu and Mongolian eating methods, and it is carried forward in the Han nationality [covering the face]. It's called hotpot in Beijing and Hebei, and it's basically called hot pot in Heilongjiang. The eating method is a combination of Manchu and Mongolian hot pots, which may be related to the living area. The hot pots eaten are basically left and right in the development zone.
Laokang Hot Pot in Xinheng Community, huanghe road, is hard to find, and the meat is good. The difference between them and others is that beef is more expensive than mutton [laughs], and why there is fried sauerkraut in the side dishes, I don't understand [praise]. (Just a comment on his family, rats make holes, and you will understand when you have been there.)
There is a kilo of Hailar's meat on Haihe East Road, who was led by his children. His family moved once in the middle. The meat is sold by the kilo, with white wine cooked by the boss himself, and horseradish and dried bean curd silk mixed with Mao Cong as snacks. It is delicious and amazing.
Hengshan road Huigong Muslim Hot Pot, originally thought that it would not have the feeling of eating in a small restaurant, was conquered after eating it. Yuci mutton and scorpion quack from the plane were delicious, and the hot pot restaurant actually had a barbecue, which was even more delicious than the hot pot [covering your face]. Why not call it a barbecue shop?
Situ Street is new here. I have eaten it at his house for 20 years. The meat is hand-cut and definitely tastes like the meat planed by the machine. In recent years, the store has become bigger and bigger, and the price has become higher and higher. But now the boss's wife has to call her aunt, and the service is as good as ever. The soaked silkworm chrysalis is delicious [yi tooth].
Food is very subjective, and whether it is delicious or not varies from person to person. As far as the hot pot in Harbin is concerned, there are still many choices. The representative of charcoal hot pot, Charcoal House, is everywhere. The "old archway" branch, which specializes in Yunnan hot pot, is also opened one by one. The hot pot star "Haidilao" also opened a shop in Haxi, and there were long queues every day. If you have nothing to do, you can enjoy it, and you can skate for free with a small ticket. Sichuan's old stove hot pot is crazy enough, but the rest are also elites. There are many hot pots in Cantonese cuisine, such as Ruyifang, Lingxian Carved Chicken and all kinds of Chaoshan beef hot pots. These are all good choices and taste good. Tell me some of my favorite shops! The address of "Laokang Hotpot" is Xinheng Modern, in the residential area opposite the terminal of 14 Road. The location is very hidden and the signboard is not obvious. Take your time to find it. But the business area inside is not small, and there are many people. Meat is sold by the catty and is very delicious. There is also a "Laosan Charcoal Hotpot", which is located in Hongqi Community and also in the community, and the meat is delicious. Although they are all frozen meat, they are not fresh meat, but they are very fragrant.
The best hot pot? This may need to divide the types of hot pot. If we look at the northeast hot pot alone, I think the snacks in the north are the best. On Xuanwei Street in Nangang, his family is only open for three hours a day, and there is a meal at noon. The boss and his wife are called the condor heroes of Harbin Food Festival. His hot pot ingredients are hand-cut mutton, sauerkraut, frozen tofu and so on, but the ordinary ingredients have an extraordinary taste. If you try them, you will know that it is absolutely glad you came. Remember that his family has no brand.
Answering this kind of question, if you are not careful, becomes advertising. But this advertisement is really wrong, because people don't give us advertising fees at all, even if they make a discount, they won't pull me.
But I just know that there is such a mutton hotpot, and his house is really, really hot.
It happened that the day before yesterday, I went to his house to eat, and the picture above was taken by me.
Speaking of this boss, there are some short stories. This eldest brother was originally from the nearby countryside. When our unit was the hottest, he worked as a stevedore in our factory. That job, especially tiring, doesn't earn much. This eldest brother didn't make a special effort to work. As a result, he called our factory to drive away. Then, he went to work in the tea city. As a result, after working for a few days, he still couldn't eat bitterness and went to work in a hot pot restaurant. He found that the hot pot restaurant business was very hot, and he didn't need any chefs or skills. He didn't work well day by day, and the hot pot restaurant fired him again. He is looking for a job near the tea city again. This guy doesn't earn much money, but he is a foodie and loves to make friends. When renting a house, I always invite a bunch of friends with a wide range of skills to his house for drinks. He worked in a hot pot restaurant to save trouble and go back to hotpot. Everyone praised his hot pot for its delicious taste, and after a while, it spread all over the tea city. Some bosses told him to prepare a table with two tables at home and go to his house for a party at night to give him some money.
This guy's head is alive, so I thought, I'll just do this. This is the origin of his hot pot, and now, the hot pot is in the place where he rented it. Of course, he didn't rent that cabin long ago, and he had almost completely taken down the first floor of that building. Usually at dinner, dozens of tables in his house are full, and there are often dozens of people waiting in line there, almost every day.
His home has never been hung, and everyone calls this hot pot by his surname.
This hot pot, which is located in a building in the community, can't be seen outside at all. It is especially difficult to find it even if you tell the place. The only way, as soon as you enter the community, you can smell the strong mutton smell. You can find it slowly along the mutton smell, and you can always find it.
His family has relied on mutton for many years. For so many years, the quality of his mutton has not changed, but the price has increased. Now, his mutton is sold by the pound, 50 pounds, and my family of four can eat two pounds. Plus other side dishes, we stuttered four times and got almost 300 yuan, which was not cheap at all.
There is also a small problem in his family, that is, as soon as you sit down, you will serve a few bowls of small pickles. You think it is free to press the table and dishes, but in fact, all of them are charged, and you are not prompted at all. This is very annoying. But everyone went to his house for mutton, so we don't care.
Now, this boss still maintains the excellent tradition of hard work and plain living in his working days. When you eat, you see a thin old man wearing a sea soul shirt like a waiter, carrying two big pots and pouring water on the table. That's the boss.
After talking for a long time, I still didn't say his name or which neighborhood he was in.
I'm not talking about it!
Why advertise him?
Lao Kang, now a master of hot pot, has several stores. Mutton is affordable, crab sticks and shrimp balls are all good, and several side dishes in his family are also delicious.
Northern snacks, according to the previous one, his mutton is killed in the morning, cut in the morning, that is, fresh, and he will not do business in the afternoon.
Beilaishun, an old-fashioned hot pot, is at the junction outside Daoli Road, which is better than Charcoal House.
Fish and bean curd, holiday chafing dish and new chafing dish.
There is a hot pot restaurant in Hanxiang Street, Nangang. The meat is delicious, tender and fragrant. The meat is processed by the whole live lamb purchased by the boss himself in Ximeng, and it is enough to serve. Now it is delicious to cut the cow's chest by hand, and the ingredients are mixed by himself. It has been open for 10 for several years. They all eat hot pot at his home. Address: Hanxiang Street/kloc.
