The best part of the Jiu Gongge hot pot is the "butter pot base", which has a thick flavor of butter with special stir-fry ingredients that make the ingredients in the pot more flavorful.
The first time I met Jiu Gongge was six years ago, when Chongqing small noodles did not take the country by storm, and Jiu Gongge, even more silent in this carnival of food.
There is an exaggeration to introduce the influence of Chongqing hot pot in Chongqing. It is said that when you sit on an airplane and hear the sound of clattering mahjong tiles, it means that you have arrived over Chengdu, and when you smell the strong smell of hot pot, it means that you have arrived over Chongqing. The identity of this statement to be examined, but there is a point, Chongqing's nine-gallon grid, representing the Chongqing hot pot unique fresh aroma and spicy. It can be said that the nine square represents the Chongqing hot pot, and Chongqing hot pot to nine square as the best.
The reason why it is called "Nine Palace Grid" is because the hot pot is divided into nine small grids. The peripheral compartments are mainly for cooking, such as boiling duck blood and brain flower. The middle compartments are for shabu-shabu, shabu-shabu tripe, shabu-shabu duck intestines. What surprised me at first was not the shape of the cubes, but the strange ingredients and dipping sauces.
As a true northerner, how can you shabu-shabu without beef or lamb, and how can you not have sesame sauce as a companion, and Nine Gourds made me realize what shabu-shabu is all about.
First, I was introduced to the ingredients, which I had to order: duck intestines, duck blood, tripe, yellow throat, and cashews, which were obviously in serious conflict with the traditional hot pot ingredients in my mind. My friend was very enthusiastic, kept introducing these ingredients how to shabu-shabu is delicious, 15 seconds to say, seven on eight, not long, a just finished shabu-shabu duck intestines in front of me, I seriously doubt its maturity, ate with fear and trepidation. Instantly, the spicy flavor filled my mouth, and I hurriedly took a sip of Vaiyee, a magical drink that is said to be available only in Chongqing and Sichuan. Then turn to other ingredients, no one is spared, all spicy to death, a hot pot to eat down, feel the mouth has been completely senseless.
Talking about the dipping sauce, each table is equipped with a jar of garlic, a bottle of sesame oil, a bottle of vinegar, and then nothing else. In the face of such a dip, I was worried, how to eat? My friend was kind enough to help me mix a bowl. Garlic paste and sesame oil, all work. Well, it was going to be a bellyful of sesame oil. My friend told me, eat nine palace grid to eat the original flavor of the hot pot, dipping sauce just play a cooling effect. With this cooling dip of garlic paste and sesame oil, I was thinking that the level of spiciness would be a few points higher. However, the fact is that if you dip the nine palace grid into the garlic oil, the spiciness will be reduced by a few points, and if you add some vinegar, the spiciness will be reduced by a few more points. Is this the legendary, "spicy attack spicy"? The principle, do not know.
The first time I ate a nine-gallon grid, I did not resist its spicy, I think I can eat spicy, the face of the nine-gallon grid, instant defeat. Wei Yi drank three bottles, each ingredient also dare to taste only a mouthful, my friend laughed and said: "This is still slightly spicy it". Well, I have seen less, anyway, that first experience of the nine palace grid impressed me, I did not expect to be able to remember it later.
Subsequently, several times to Chongqing, friends are pulling me to practice the nine palace grid, over time, has become accustomed to its spicy, every time you eat, there is a kind of hearty feeling.
Then later, it evolved into missing it. Not in the days of Chongqing, occasionally miss the nine palace, so in the public comment on the search for this surrounding Chongqing hot pot, but ate a few, always failed to find the flavor of Chongqing nine palace.
Local food, all contain local customs, change the place, also change the flavor.
This year's Spring Festival, very much miss the nine palace, so fly to Chongqing to eat three days nine palace. This luxury life, as some time ago online rumors of Tony Leung went to the United Kingdom to feed pigeons, pigeons have a lot, why must go to the United Kingdom?
There are many pigeons, why must go to Chongqing? Have been to Chongqing, eaten in the air-raid shelter in the nine palace, you will know the answer.
