First, old Beijing instant-boiled mutton
When it comes to food in Beijing, many people first think of roast duck. Roast duck is representative and famous. But when a Beijinger who can eat talks about his own home cooking, he is sure to belong to instant-boiled mutton! It is not uncommon for relatives and friends to get together, have a drink with friends, and eat roast duck together, but the probability is quite small. Rinsing hot pot is much more common. Therefore, when eating in Beijing, instant-boiled mutton should not be missed anyway. It's best to catch up with winter. When the weather is in the middle of winter and the twelfth month, the world is at a loss outside the window, and the snow like goose feathers is falling, and the room is steaming, calling friends and friends, which makes people happy and satisfied.
Introduce several delicious hotpot restaurants in Beijing:
1, jubaoyuan
Personally, I am the first to promote the "treasure source". This restaurant doesn't seem to have been mentioned in the travel notes. Jubaoyuan is located in niujie, Xicheng District, a little south of niujie intersection of Guang 'anmennei Street, and west of it. Niujie is a Muslim settlement in Beijing, and proper Muslim slaughter is carried out by full-time imams, paying attention to it. Beijingers also generally believe that beef and mutton bought in niujie is cleaner and more authentic.
Authentic instant-boiled mutton pays attention to the charcoal copper pot. There is an alcohol pot with one hand, which looks small and exquisite, and seems to be more in line with the concept of hygiene, but eating Beijing instant-boiled mutton with this is not a "taste". Clear soup, sesame sauce ingredients (coriander, chopped green onion, chives, bean curd with soy sauce, marinated shrimp oil, sesame), mutton, louver, cabbage, frozen bean curd, wide flour, sesame seed cake, and sugar garlic (to relieve boredom). The meat should be fresh and tender, cut as thin as snowflakes by hand, cooked with chopsticks, and melted at the entrance.
Jubaoyuan's mutton and sesame seed cake are really amazing, but the price is not expensive.
2. Shaking meat on the kiln platform
Taoranting Road 12, Xuanwu District, the north gate of Taoranting Park is west and the road is south. The above-mentioned great harmony is not described in detail. In short, the taste is well-known and the price is acceptable to the public. Yaotai also has a branch, but I think it's authentic.
3. South Gate Braised Meat
Correct name: Hongyuan south gate hotpot. South Gate refers to the South Gate of the Temple of Heaven, because this store was first opened outside the South Gate of the Temple of Heaven Park, and now there is a semicolon in a good position in Houhai. Beijing people used to know it well, but now their reputation is growing, and many netizens know it more and more. His home is in a good location, around the scenic spots. For many travelers, kill two birds with one stone and save time.
4, Xiao Liu rinse fresh meat
This one is interesting. Lazhu Hutong, Hufangqiao, Xuanwu District 12
Number. Lazhu Hutong, does this name sound delicious:) In the Hutong, you will pass Lao Liu to rinse meat on the way, so don't hesitate to go inside. Grassroots, good quality and low price. If you want to bring the whole family, there is no need to find this place. It is suitable for one or two people's deep experience. You must eat hand-cut fresh meat, which is the authentic taste of old Beijing.
But one thing made me very disappointed. As soon as I sat down, the waiter asked us if we wanted the bottom of the clear soup pot or spicy or mandarin duck pot. This is very untrue. Authentic old Beijing hotpot is the bottom of a clear soup pot. Spicy that's Sichuan hot pot. Make it neither fish nor fowl, which must be criticized.
Anyway, let's talk about the meat here. The fresh meat is 20 plates, regardless of the location. The price is quite affordable. The taste and taste of meat is the second among the fresh meats I have eaten in Beijing. First, it has to be an unnamed hotpot restaurant in You 'anmen. That's much better than the south gate hotpot. Those famous shops all go to eat fame, and this kind of small shop really comes to eat meat. If you are a carnivore, don't miss it here. Be sure to eat fresh meat. Is it delicious or not?
There are also some good stores, such as: Laowu Shuan rou, Laoqiying Shuan rou, Yangfang Shuan rou, etc., all of which have a good reputation on the Internet, and their tastes are different, which is generally good. If friends catch up with the nearest meal, they can also enjoy authentic Beijing instant-boiled mutton.
Most of the good restaurants for instant-boiled mutton are in Nancheng, so the dining environment should not be demanding. Often, with the environment, there is no street fun around the stove. As for Donglaishun, I don't recommend it. It's not bad, but with these authentic and affordable stores, why spend a lot of money for a name? And Donglaishun is divided into self-operated stores and franchise stores, and the quality is also different.
Second, Beijing roast duck
Roast duck has become a symbol of Beijing's diet. It is said that Kissinger must eat roast duck every time he goes to Beijing. Old George W. Bush, who rode a 28-car around the world in Beijing Hutong, was addicted to it. At the golden wedding banquet in 1995, Bush Sr. also featured roast duck.
Some friends can't appreciate roast duck and think it's too oily, which makes sense. Fortunately, it is acceptable not to eat it every day, taste it occasionally, and put aside the concept of health. Besides, we can also eat culture and history from it.
Liang Shiqiu wrote in Yashe's talk about eating: "Beiping is bitter and dry, not a fertile place for duck production, but Tongzhou, which is close at hand, has a canal, and the canals and ponds are staggered, which is especially suitable for livestock and ducks. Good species are all pure white, but wild ducks and ducks are not the best choice. When the ducks are transported from Tongzhou to Peiping, they still need to be fattened. Knead sorghum and other feeds into a round strip, which is thicker than ordinary sausage hot dogs and about four inches long. The duck master in Tongzhou grabbed a duck and put it between his legs, so that he couldn't move. He broke the duckbill with his hand.
Hard-line stuffing with thick and long food dipped in water. Ducks can't make any noise when they want to bark, only blink. After stuffing it into the mouth, stroke the duck's neck tightly with your hand and squeeze the things into the duck's stomach. After filling in a few, I saw that I would burst my belly if I filled in more, and then I let go and put the duck in a small shed that was dark. Hundreds of ducks are locked together, like sardines, and there is no room for activity, just try to give water to drink. It's been closed for several days, and it's necessary to be fat every day, so it's called duck stuffing. On the one hand, the variety of ducks is good, and on the other hand, the master's skill is high, so duck filling is unique to Beiping. During the Anti-Japanese War, a restaurant in the rear tried to fill ducks, and one third of them died. Those who didn't die were neither skinny nor very fat, which I saw with my own eyes. Duck must be fat, fat is tender. "
With these materials and unique craftsmanship, it is the difference between a duck in a famous shop near 200 yuan and a duck in a street shop for tens of dollars. Although many Beijingers don't eat Quanjude all their lives, just like Hangzhou people don't have to go to the building outside to be jealous of fish. But as a traveler, it's better to savor the authentic ingredients. When you're here, there's no need to explore the dragon and forget the pearls.
There is no ranking here, because it is almost the same.
There is a saying that "foreigners eat roast duck and Quanjude in Beijing, foreigners eat roast duck and Dadong in Beijing, and Beijingers eat roast duck and Jiuhuashan in Beijing".
Jiuhuashan roast duck
Located on the 2nd floor of Ziyu Hotel 1-2, No.55 Zengguang Road, Haidian District, there is a duck 168 yuan. You have to pay for the cake, sauce and cucumber separately, but the duck is delicious, and the mustard duck's paw is delicious. The taste of roast duck is definitely not worse than that of Quanjude, but the price is more affordable.
Some friends only know that Quanjude, Dadong and Jiuhuashan are really good choices for eating roast duck, although some Beijingers still don't know the name of Jiuhuashan. "Duck King" was once famous, and there were many branches, but its momentum has gradually weakened recently. Quanjude has a good reputation, does not worry about business, and frequently meets the team, so it has the phenomenon of poor hospitality and bullying customers. I also don't think it's necessary to take Quanjude and join in the fun.
Dadong roasted duck restaurant
Dongsi Store has a good environment, located on the 2nd floor of Nanxincang International Building 1-2, No.22 Dongsishitiao A, Dongcheng District; Tuanjiehu Store is very popular, building 3, Tuanjiehu Estuary, Chaoyang District (southeast of Changhong Bridge). The dishes are fine and expensive.
Bianyifang
It is another sect. Beijing roast duck is divided into two schools: stewing and hanging, and cheap square is the representative of stewing roast duck school. There is no naked flame in roast duck, so it is said that it is easy to produce carcinogens when roasted with naked flame.
As for which taste is better, people have different opinions. Let's experience it for ourselves. In fact, it's almost the same. What can we eat if we don't believe in the old brands?
Liqun Roast Duck Restaurant, which is widely rumored on the Internet, is famous for being on the Magic Earth of National Geographic Channel. Word of mouth from netizens, promoting that they don't advertise, I think it's just an alternative means of management. The more people are willing to find out, the more narrow and secluded the place is. Nowadays, the minority seems to show its taste more and more: it's up to you to go or not.
Say a few more words to experienced travelers: If you have eaten Peking Duck or even eaten it many times and are interested in further exploration, you might as well try something more different. It is said that the roast duck in the Listening Hall of the Summer Palace is prepared with traditional Chinese medicine and has another flavor. Another example is the roast duck in Hongbin Building, the first floor of halal, which is unique in halal style and worth tasting.
Third, the time-honored brands in Beijing
Many people haven't been to Beijing's time-honored brands. Most of the time-honored brands are state-owned, and many details such as service and decoration are not keeping pace with the times. Many old brands have gone through catastrophe, and the state-owned enterprises that master them are bureaucratic and enterprising, but I still want to believe in the vitality of our old brands. The famous dishes and delicacies with unique style can be passed down from generation to generation.
Pick a few that you have experienced, and I believe you won't miss everyone. Ranked in no particular order.
1, tongheju
Tonghe ranks first among the "Eight Great Houses in Beijing". "Eight Great Houses"-Tongheju, Shaguoju, Taifengju, Wanfuju, Yangchunju, Dongxing, Fuxing and Guangheju. Most of them are withered, and it seems that only Tongheju and Shaguoju are left. There are many restaurants in Shandong in old Beijing. Tongheju tastes mellow, and I think it is worth trying. Three-non-sticky, imperial concubine chicken, stewed mullet eggs, three-white steamed bread and baked steamed bread are the housekeeping dishes of the same family.
The price, per capita consumption 100 yuan, is normal at today's consumption level: Ma Sanli's comic dialogue joke-"The Art of Naming" mentioned cohabitation: "Where can I eat when I am engaged? Cohabitation! Be of one mind and live together forever; Divorce, where to eat? Eat steamed stuffed bun, the dog ignores it. "
Address: No.71,Yuetan South Street, Sanlihe, Xicheng District.
2. casserole house
The casserole house is conveniently located in the center of Beijing. Casserole series, especially casserole white meat, Jiuzhuan large intestine and so on, are the most famous, and desserts such as almond tofu are also highly respected. With tongheju, both belong to the Shandong cuisine series, and the dishes are also similar, such as the three-non-sticky and bad-fried series.
Address: No.60 Xisi South Street, Xicheng District (near Gangwa City)
3. Hongbin Building
Muslim restaurant, one of the eight buildings in Beijing, is the highest reception place for Hui people's wedding banquets. I have exquisite Hui people's friends, and the wedding banquet is a must. Braised oxtail is a sign, rotten but not scattered, thin but not firewood, and scattered Dan and braised hoof with coriander.
Tendon, grilled pork, Kung Pao shrimp, and candied fruit (diners who know how to eat can pronounce these three words, sugar, and fruit should be pronounced "Gu") are all fine products, and the price is small and expensive. The "state-run" style. More wedding banquets, if you want to go, pay attention to stagger the rush hour.
Address: Exhibition Hall Road, Xicheng District 1 1 (at the intersection of Baiwanzhuang)
4. Jinyang restaurant
Shanxi flavor. "Crispy duck", "oily meat" and "Daoxiao Noodles" are signs. I recommend this place because the pasta here is very good. Northerners love pasta. To be fair, it seems that there are not many really good noodle restaurants in Beijing. Southern friends can't appreciate pasta, but when they come to Beijing, I advise you to try it, because this is the real tour, isn't it?
Jinyang Restaurant is also the home of Ji Xiaolan's former residence. You can visit for free after dinner. In front of the door, a Gu Teng covered with thick shade was planted by Ji Xiaolan himself. At that time, Mr. Lao She often came here to admire Gu Teng's golden breeze, leaving a seven-line poem: "Hump bear's paw can't boast, the cat's ear plucks the fish, and there are four fragrant springs, and the wisteria flowers are ten feet in front of the court."
In retrospect, it may be a good thing that Jinyang Restaurant occupied Ji Xiaolan's former residence. After all, the diners who come and go keep the popularity of Yuewei Caotang, which is much better than being left out in front of Mao Dun's former residence and Mei Lanfang's former residence. What's more, all the men, old and young, who went to Jinyang Restaurant knew the name of Ji Xiaolan. "
Address: No.241West Street, zhushikou.
5. Fengzeyuan Restaurant
No.83, West Street, zhushikou, not far from Jinyang Restaurant. Shandong cuisine famous shop, its onion-roasted sea cucumber can be described as a gold medal, unparalleled in the world, and it is difficult for the whole country to match it. To what extent are cattle? Fengzeyuan said that the annual sales revenue of this dish reached 10 million, accounting for almost 30% of the total business.
Such a brand is naturally worth a lot. The sea cucumber dishes in Fengzeyuan Restaurant range from several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan. It is suggested that we try it with ample conditions. Friends who don't want to waste money can change their families and make other choices. I thought we must not come here and don't order sea cucumbers. Then why did we come to Fengzeyuan?
Finally, the barbecue season is not recommended. It is in the core area of Houhai, next to the Yinding Bridge. The location is good, the font size is old, and it can be sent to the boat. This advantage is a good business. As a result, I am not worried about buyers. I didn't go at the meal time at a time, so I ordered nothing. I could only eat whatever I wanted, and I was disappointed no matter how good I did it.
Fourth, Beijing's special diet
(1) Yangxiezi
Sheep scorpion is a food in old Beijing, named after its ingredients are taken from the spine of sheep and shaped like scorpions. Eating is still a hot pot routine.
1. Man Pengxuan
No.0/5, Dongli, Taoyuan, Dongcheng District,
That is, the south second ring road auxiliary road, Lunan. He Nanmen Shuan rou is a boss. There are many people who pursue his family, and the roadside is full of cars at night. It tastes good, and the affordable price is the main reason. It is recommended to eat the most expensive pot when you come here, because there is plenty of meat.
Tender, otherwise it will be full of bones. Sheep and scorpions are generally salty, and the more they eat, the more salty they are. They must drink plenty of water. Perhaps it is not salty and the taste is not enough ... After eating scorpions, it is the standard way to eat noodles in the pot, and the taste of thick soup is cooked.
Into the face. I have also eaten sheep scorpions in other cities, and the taste is not good.
2. Shanshuijian
There are shops in the northeast corner of Yangqiao Zhengyang Building and Longtan Lake Park in the South Third Ring Road. The taste is still good, so I won't go into details.
There are many yangxiezi chains in Beijing, but I don't quite agree with them, probably because I didn't leave a deep impression after eating them once. Maybe the store I happened to catch up with was not good enough to make me generalize, but I still don't recommend it.
(2) Braised and burned.
Braised fire is a pure thing in old Beijing, a typical common food. I have never seen anyone eating it outside Beijing.
Braised fire is also called stewed small intestine, which comes from the court's "Su made meat." It is said that in Guangxu period, because the price of Suzhou-made meat cooked with pork belly was expensive, the folk used pig's head meat and water instead, and over time, it created a pot-stewed fire.
Cut the tic-tac-toe knife with fire, cut the tofu into triangles, chop small pieces of small intestine and lung head, scoop a spoonful of old soup from the pot and pour it into the bowl, and then add some garlic paste, Chili oil, bean curd and chives. What you care about is that the water should be washed and the fire should be destroyed.
Noodles. These two can't be done, or they have an odor, or they are cooked by fire and can't be eaten. The fire should be thorough but not sticky, and the meat is rotten but not bad. Among them, the most heavy taste is the small intestine, which is soft and thick, and occasionally a piece of white meat is full of fat. But people with a light mouth will find the soup mouth very salty.
Many small restaurants sell braised pork, but the famous one is Xiaochangchen.
Xiaochangchen's old shop is located at the east exit of South Hengdong Street, Hufang Road, and has been demolished. Each store is opened by its own family after separation, not a chain. Most of them are small shops, and several Xiaochangchen restaurants opened by their daughters are large in scale, and they have also launched.
Pot stew, pot stew and all kinds of stir-fry. Braised pot should be eaten in a bowl, but the stewed hot pot in Xiaochangchen Restaurant is very magnificent, and all kinds of ingredients are placed on the pot in circles, such as flowers, which is spectacular. Other side dishes are not cooked either
Wrong, such as hemp fiber cucumber, sour and crisp, fried pork intestines, fried pork liver with sauce, etc. are all Beijing home-cooked dishes. Mr. Hou Baolin and Mr. Guan Xueceng, the master of piano and calligraphy, were all frequent visitors to Xiaochang Chen before his death.
Braised internal organs are ultimately fatty and high in cholesterol, which is harmful to health, and should be done according to everyone's health.
(3) muslim food
1.
Be sure to add your voice (as well as bean juice), otherwise it will be completely wrong.
Deep-fried tripe is to put lamb tripe or tripe tripe into boiling water for a few seconds, and the kung fu is all about time. Because the belly has different requirements according to the temperature of different parts, the time is short, and it is too old to swallow. Just right, it tastes crispy and smooth, dipped in sesame sauce, and creaks between your lips and teeth. This graceful feeling is not physical but not humane:)
Fried tripe is a food only made in Beijing. Beijing fried tripe is run by Hui people, and the mutton tripe used must be slaughtered by Hui people. It is also very clean and has no odor, so it has a good reputation. In the past, many famous actors in the pear orchard liked it.
Nowadays, many restaurants under the banner of old Beijing flavor also offer fried tripe, but the menu does not distinguish these kinds of tricks, and all of them are summarized as "fried tripe" When you order this dish, you get a plate of black blinds. And the special tripe.
The food in the store is much more exquisite. According to different parts, it is divided into belly kernel, belly collar, belly plate, food letter, scattered Dan, mushroom head and so on. The belly kernel is the best, scattered Dan is refreshing, and finally a sesame seed cake with sauce beef is served. What more can you ask for? Eating these things is good for the stomach, and it is extremely suitable for drinking alone.
There are many names of tripe tripe in Beijing. I appreciate the Caishikou store, which is southwest of the intersection of Caishikou in Xuanwu District. It is not a street face, but you can only see it if you go inside.
Houhai Nine-door Snacks, which are often mentioned on the Internet, are also popular, but my friends and I are not going. Nine-door Snacks are useless.
Xideshun tripe king is another well-known family. The house introduced Master Mei Lanfang as a frequent visitor here. I only ate it once, but I didn't feel particularly amazing. It was also related to the time, place and atmosphere at that time. The location was quite good, at No.29 Hepingli Middle Street, Chaoyang District, 300 meters west of ditan park North Gate.
2. Turpan restaurant
It's called Turpan, but in fact, xinjiang cuisine and Beijing run authentic cuisine. People who eat mutton kebabs must not miss it. His kebabs are really good, full of fat and oil. Barbecued pork strips, fried noodles, pulled noodles and other special dishes are also full of flavor, which is a good place to call friends. Niujie intersection in Xuanwu District, diagonally opposite to Jubaoyuan.
(4) Zhajiang Noodles
Zhajiang Noodles is Beijing's master cook, and it is far higher than the above ones in Beijing's mind. I put it last because I didn't eat the excellent Zhajiang Noodles Pavilion. Perhaps I am ignorant. In fact, many of my friends also think that Zhajiang Noodles, the best food, is made at home.
Haiwanju and Beipinglou are well-known, and eating is ok, but it's specific and subtle.
Five, Beijing snacks
1. Douzhier and others
Some people say that bean juice is a very subjective food. Very reasonable. If you can't drink bean juice, you are not a Beijinger. I thought that drinking bean juice was for the older generation. Nowadays, the world is going from bad to worse, and children are all dressed up in red hair and blue eyes, so they can directly play the role of a master of Journey to the West. Who will accept this? In the past, I couldn't taste it myself, but later I drank it without knowing what was going on. I found that many friends drank it. It can be seen that culture can't be broken, and who you are is in your bones.
Wang Luobin is very fond of bean juice. Once the students invited him to drink bean juice, he even drank four bowls, plus two sesame seed cakes, three inby and a bowl of meatballs. The students were blindsided and called the teacher "the belly of the proletariat".
Bean juice is the leftover of making mung bean powder or vermicelli. After being fermented, the mung bean slurry sinks into the bottom of the jar, and the upper layer floats, which is the bean juice. After being fermented, the bean juice needs to be boiled with water, and then kept warm with a small fire, and it must be boiled with small bubbles to be qualified. The taste is as thick as soybean milk, the smell is rotten, and it is like bad mung bean soup. It is inevitable that you will get sick after drinking it for the first time. However, Beijingers will advise you: "Holding your nose and drinking two more times will make you feel different."
She can detoxify and stimulate appetite, drink a bowl of bean juice before catching a cold, and need not take any medicine. Bean juice should be served with spicy pickles and eaten with inby.
It's a bit unkind to force tourists to drink bean juice. After all, we can't drink it as soon as we come up, and we have been entangled repeatedly. But friends who can try bean juice must be deep travelers. Mr. Jin Yong gave a speech at Peking University, and was invited by the professors to a restaurant called "Yi Gu Si Tian Zayuan" for dinner. During the dinner, bean juice was served. Mr. Cha followed the authentic method and stirred it with chopsticks, sipping it until the bowl was dry. I read the article here in awe, this is the mind!
Huguosi snack bar
No.93 Huguosi Street, Xicheng District. It is close to Mei Lanfang's former residence, and you can go east along Dingfu Street to the former site of Fu Jen Catholic University and Gongwangfu Garden.
Huatiandiwai snack bar
No.0/80, Di 'anmenwai Street, Xicheng District. Located in the northeast corner of Di 'anmen intersection. Nearby attractions: Jingshan, Beihai Back Gate, Shichahai, Bell and Drum Tower.
These two places are not far from Houhai. Apart from bean juice, there are many Beijing snacks, such as Ma Tofu, snowballing, pork chops with ginger juice, fried enema, and fried creaky boxes ... To be fair, Beijing snacks are by no means delicious, let alone popular, but they have their own characteristics. I hope that travelers will still experience it in a spirit of integration, and there is no need to shout when they are not appetizing.
Like Tongheju and Casserole House, both of them belong to Judehua Tianmen.
Nanlaishun restaurant
Nancaiyuan Street 12, Xuanwu District (south of the west gate of Daguan Garden), with a restaurant on one side and a snack shop on the other. I think it's good to eat snacks in Nanlaishun, with a wide variety, and tofu brain, beef buns and the like are also delicious.
Lao ci qi kou dou zhi branch
Opposite the north gate of Tiantan Park in Chongwen District, the local shops are broken, but they are all regular customers.
In these places, Beijingers love to have breakfast here.
The above does not include all the snack bars in Beijing, but it is quite famous. Although the state-owned and time-honored snack bars in Beijing still need to be improved in operation and service, and their tastes are mixed, at least they are still authentic in practice and cheap in price. Most snacks are complicated to make and the profit is not high, which is why many restaurants and private stalls don't make them. As for the Wangfujing snack street, there are many street stalls such as fried noodles, bean jelly, fried rice, fried skewers, etc., which only pay attention to making money and not paying attention to social benefits. The snacks they operate are not authentic, and the varieties are few and the quality is high, which is purely misleading tourists.
Let's talk about another branch topic, pea yellow and kidney roll.
It is my favorite snack, warm and delicate. Most of the above-mentioned snack bars are also made, but I especially appreciate the imitation food in Beihai and the listening hall in the Summer Palace, because this is a palace snack, and it seems that the exquisite and elegant Palace Cuisine House is more attractive to make. However, these two companies have high consumption, so they are not recommended. Others, such as dream-making biscuits, chestnut noodles and steamed buns, are all very interesting. Friends who are interested in palace cuisine can try it.
I suggest that before eating palace dishes, you can go to Youku to check the MV of "Memory of the Forbidden City" by S.E.N.S Thinkers, which is magnificent and makes your impression of the Forbidden City greatly increase; Or bring a copy of Levin's "The Emperor of Qing Dynasty", so that you can remember the past and think about the present.
2. Stir-fried liver
Beijing's good fried liver is less. Yao Ji fried liver shop, which is sought after online, can only be said to be unsatisfactory, and talking is better than nothing. Good fried liver should be flavored with mushroom soup, and eat special fragrance when hungry; The timing of garlic should be accurate, otherwise it will smell like dead garlic. Now, who knows if there are any people who pay attention to it ... The standard of eating fried liver children should be accompanied by meat buns, just like braised pork, which is inconvenient to eat more.
No.331Gulou East Street, Dongcheng District (southeast corner of Gulou Bay)
3. Palace cheese
It is not the same thing as the cheese of foreigners. I recommend Sanyuan Meiyuan. Although there are many branches in his family now, there are also good and bad ones, but overall, the taste is passable. The original cheese and bean paste milk roll are the best, and I quite like fried red fruits, but others are average. It's very pleasant to taste cheese in the hot summer, relieve summer heat and relieve hunger, and soak your teeth in ice.
On the streets of Beijing, there is also a kind of duck egg blue pot yogurt with big belly, which is called honey yogurt or poria yogurt. It is cheap and delicious.
Netizens often talk about Wenyu Cheese Shop in Nanluoguxiang. Wenyu Cheese is not cheap, and there are many varieties. Galeries Lafayette is afraid that it has never tasted mango. I thought there was no second family in the gongs and drums alley. If I threw it on the street, it wouldn't be so popular.
4. Xin Yuanzhai's sour plum soup
Sour plum soup doesn't work, you must believe in Yuanzhai ... Actually, it's not so absolute. I was poisoned by Mr. Liang Shiqiu: Mr. Liang once took the children to Xinyuanzhai to drink sour plum soup and allowed them to drink as many bowls as they could. As a result, he even drank seven bowls before giving up. He himself praised the taste and hoped that "Sour plum soup would be marketed all over the world one day, so that Coca-Cola wouldn't be rampant everywhere." Sour plum soup is packaged in modern bottles and cans and sold in supermarkets in Beijing. The way is convenient, but it feels far away, which is definitely different from the taste of Liang Shiqiu standing at the door of the store and drinking a bowl after bowl. But after all, talking is better than nothing. Raise a glass and invite the moon to remember the legacy of our ancestors.
Some restaurants also serve sour plum soup from Xinyuanzhai, especially the big-bellied glass bottle, which is interesting to watch.
Six, go home: don't buy preserved fruit, don't bring roast duck.
Now that the world is in harmony, Beijing has nothing to take away. No one eats the fruit shop, and the bagged snacks taste too much, while the bagged roast duck is simply inedible. People who may bring it are also embarrassed. It seems unreasonable not to bring roast duck. I am afraid that the recipients are full of hope and think that it is simply unnatural to come back from Beijing without roast duck.
I recommend one to try.
1. The first one is the sauce elbow of Tianfu.
On this day in beginning of spring, Beijing, eating spring cakes, the sauce elbow of Tianfu was robbed as soon as it opened the door.
Tianfu's unique skill is to mix ingredients and pinch soup. After the elbow enters the pot for an hour, it begins to pinch soup, which requires being able to grasp the heat at any time. In addition, it is to collect juice out of the pot. Although it is called sauce elbow, there is no sauce or soy sauce. The color on the elbow is sugar. Let the skin stick to the meat when you are out of the pot, and it will not be broken or scattered when you pull it up, fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood, and the skin will not return, until it is crisp and tender.
The name of Tianfu is also interesting. It lasted for three years (namely, AD 1738).
Fengxiang Liu, a native of Yexian County, Shandong Province, led his grandson to Beijing to make a living, and partnered with a merchant from Shanxi to open a sauce meat shop at the east corner of Xidan archway, dealing in sauce elbow, sauce meat and sauce belly. But the store is small and nameless, so it has been depressed. Soon, Shanxi people withdrew their shares and were operated by the Liu family alone. One day, Fengxiang Liu went to the market to buy goods, and saw an old plaque on the second-hand goods stall, which read "Tianfuhao" in three regular scripts, and the pen was vigorous and powerful. Fengxiang Liu believes that this word has a solid foundation and contains the meaning of "Blessing from Heaven", which is just used as a font size to attract business. So he bought the plaque, went home and decorated it a little, hanging it on the lintel of his own shop, which really made the shop shine. Since then, some literati
Mo Ke often stops in front of the shop to comment on the calligraphy of the word "Tianfuhao", and the number of customers is gradually increasing. After the store was named after this, the business was booming. Heaven is blessed with fruit.
Tianfuhao Specialty Store: No.213, Xizhimen Inner Street, Xicheng District (Beicaochangkou). Many supermarkets in Beijing also have counters, and the current price is not cheap.
2. Yueshengzhai sauce beef and mutton
Yueshengzhai is also an old-fashioned company dealing in beef and mutton with Muslim sauce, which was founded in the forty years of Qingganlong (1755). When I was a child, I ate beef and mutton in his sauce. I remember that the aroma was overflowing and I was impressed. But I haven't tried vacuum packaging now, and people's opinions are different. Only you have tried it yourself.
There is also a very interesting story in their family: it is said that Empress Dowager Cixi goes to the Summer Palace every summer to listen to politics, and there must be a night meal every night, and the food she eats must include Yueshengzhai sauce meat, biscuits and porridge, and baked biscuits with roasted sheep just cooked by Yueshengzhai.
Meat gives off an appetizing smell at the entrance, and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it is, and the aftertaste is endless. Therefore, the shopkeeper of Yueshengzhai has to take turns to be on duty in the Shoufang. After that, Cixi withdrew from the curtain and retired to the Summer Palace, while Yue Shengzhai sent someone to be on duty. One winter day, the boss of Yueshengzhai smoked in the back hill, causing a mountain fire, and he was condemned. Unexpectedly, the queen mother said, "What shall I eat if I kill him?" !” It's safe It seems that being a man has to make others miss you! There is a shop on Qianmen Pedestrian Street now.
3. pickles in liubiju and Tianyuan sauce garden
The word "Six Habitats" is said to have earned Yan Song's calligraphy. These words are really not easy to write and really well written. During the Cultural Revolution, the old plaque was destroyed as the "Four Old" and the name of the store was changed to "Hongqi Pickles Factory". 1972, during tanaka kakuei's visit to China, Tanaka asked Premier Zhou: "I heard that you have a' six houses'?" Premier Zhou said yes, I will inform Liu Biju later-hang up the old plaque! As a result, repair it quickly and hang the store again!
The pickles, sweet sauce snails, eight-treasure vegetables and peanut kernels in Liubiju are delicious, rich in sauce, crisp and tender.
Tianyuan pickles is another one. The practice of pickles comes from the famous teachers in the imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty. They are exquisite in workmanship, exquisite in materials and moderate in sweetness and saltiness. They are very popular with southerners and foreign guests, so they are also called "southern dishes". Now Tianyuan has been placed under the banner of Liubiju.
Friends who like pickles can buy them, and I think it is also excellent to give them to relatives and friends. Of course, people have to know the goods, otherwise they will be secretly scolded: "Hum, pickles can also be delivered-stingy!" It's not worth the loss.
4. Tong Ren Tang
There is Tong Ren Tang in the north and Hu Qingyu Hall in the south. Tongrentang can't be regarded as eating: Tongrentang was founded in the eighth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1669), and has been offering imperial medicine since 1723, after eight emperors 188 years. The popular Da Zhai Men is the shadow of Tong Ren Tang. It's really beautiful. It is said that in those days, audiences in Guangdong and Hong Kong gave up the dubbing of Cantonese, turned to CCTV to watch subtitles, and listened to the clear pronunciation of Beijing dialect, just like watching the original English.
I especially appreciate the old adage of Tong Ren Tang-"Although the processing is complicated, you will not dare to save labor, while the taste is expensive, you will not dare to reduce material resources"! There is also a couplet that is also excellent "no one sees it, and it is intentional to know." Our time-honored brand is more human in business! Who says China people can't do business? There are too many reasons for us to give up too much now!
There are many famous drugs in Tongrentang, especially Angong Niuhuang (life-saving), Wuji Baifeng Pill (gynecology) and Liuwei Dihuang Pill (tonifying kidney). You can buy it at an authentic Tongrentang drugstore. It's better to bring some medicine than those messy things.
