In this cherry blossom season, in Seattle's Huada Food Street, Yang Guofu, the first in the United States, finally opened its doors quietly.
As one of the two largest households in Northern Mala Tang in China, finally went to sea. Northerners expressed their gears and looked forward to it.
At present, the store is still in the trial operation period. I heard that the situation of breaking orders on weekends is very serious, and some customers have waited for 2 hours at most.
🌟Squad’s new store trial opening reminder: Trial opening is generally a process of store running-in. If you have high expectations for food, service or brand, it is better to recommend weekday or wait for a longer time to open the door before you go.
As the pioneer of the shop, the small team carried the yearning for the Northeast Mala Tang, and the Beijing team leader of the shop was thinking about Yang Guofu’s long-lost taste. We rushed into the shop for the first time and had a game "The first experience of Yang Guofu in the United States. "
Do you know about Yang Guofu?
Up to now, Yang Guofu Mala Tang has more than 6000 stores worldwide.
In addition to domestic, Yang Guofu's overseas franchise stores have covered South Korea, Japan, Australia, Singapore, Canada and other countries. This one in Seattle is the first in the United States.
Even last year's epidemic failed to stop Yang Guofu's footsteps. Its domestic store sales exceeded 60 billion, and the number of serving foodies reached 3 million per visit.
Yang Guofu is to be the Starbucks of Mala Tang.
"Sichuan Mala Tang, the most authentic in the Northeast"?
To eat Yang Guofu, you must first talk about the Northeast Mala Tang.
Although they are called Mala Tang, this Mala Tang is not that of Mala Tang.
Mala Tang itself originated in Sichuan, and it was indeed hot, but after entering the black land of Northeast China, the people of Northeast China (Yang Guofu was the pioneer) carried out a subversive transformation of it. The people in the Northeast were not able to eat spicy food, so Northeast Mala Tang was removed. Spicy Sichuan over-stimulates the taste buds, replacing the red oil lotus root slices with quail eggs and fish balls.
The spicy tang, which lacks Sichuan flavor, accidentally captured the stomachs of foodies all over the country, and it blossomed all over the country.Now that it can go abroad, it also happens to be because ofThe spicy "ma" has become the "ma" of sesame sauce.Let’s take a look at the comparison of two different Mala Tang :
What is the experience of eating Yang Guofu Mala Tang in the United States?
According to the above explanation,The soup base of Yang Guofu's Mala Tang is not hemp hot, but a creamy white bone soup with red oil floating in it, and a bit of milky taste.
Let’s see how to order first~The way of ordering Mala Tang always makes people love and hate: The optional table is very cool and has a domestic feel, but there are too many choices, and it is easy to get more.If you can't finish it, it's mainly expensive.
This American Yang Guofu is the same as in China. The store also uses a self-service weighing method. The large freezers are neatly lined up, and you can take what you want to eat.The most characteristic is variousMeatballs, fish balls, crab balls, Huazhi balls, lobster balls, and heart-packed balls, Special meatballs airlifted from New York.Served with spicy spicy soup is a must!Surprisingly, there are pork blood, fresh vegetables, and plenty of beef and lamb, including staple foods such as instant noodles and udon noodles.
Seattle Yang Guofu's price is food$ 12.99 / lb
Our party picked up two pots by ourselves
Everyone takes the spicy spicy soup of the ingredients themselves. Anyone who has experience knows dry noodles,
Fans and other staple foods are not squeezed but still full,
Foods with high water content such as tofu are heavier.
But I still couldn't help choosing pork blood and jade tofu.
There are really many kinds of meatballs in this store, and they are delicious.
It is said that they are all from New York, no wonder I have never seen these balls.
Since I'm here to eat, of course I have to eat something that I can't usually eat.
Pick it up in the basin, weigh it, and settle the bill~
We ordered two Mala Tang,
Respectively1.39 pounds和1.7 poundsIn the beginning,
Calculate the price after tax is about$20 and $24.
The capacity is enough, if the staple food is added,
This portion is basically not a problem.
⚠️During the trial operation, especially during the peak dining period, there may be a long waiting time. It is recommended that you try to try something new at this stage.You don’t have to wait long when you meet few people, you can eat it out of the pot~
*Garlic is added directly to the soup bowl. If you don't want garlic, remember to say in advance when you order.
I heard that one of the most important things in the store is to make the soup every day before dawn. Only beef bones are used. They must be boiled for 8 hours before they can be seasoned.Milk is added to the soup, but it actually tastes only slightly milky, more of the flavor of the soup.The aroma of a bowl of Mala Tang when it comes out of the pot, you can smell it all the way, this is the secret of the soup.
The special soup bowl is very large, and there is also a place for chopsticks. These details show the brand's unique thoughtfulness.
There are special packaging boxes and supporting tableware for takeaways,
This is also done very carefully.
After finishing the meal, the small material table next to the meal has mahjong with the soul of Northeast Mala Tang and various seasonings.
🌶️ At present, the soup base is slightly spicy by default, and the southerners in the same group say that there is no pressure, the team leaderI specially ordered a spicy soup and added spicy oil in the end.
If you like spicy food, you can add more spicy oil by yourself. The back chef is also doing further research and development, and in the future, I will try my best to satisfy the students who have higher requirements for spicyness.
Slightly spicy on the left and spicy on the right.The fly in the ointment is that after adding a lot of spicy oil, although the spiciness has increased, the soup base has become a bit greasy.
Does Yang Guofu have Mala Tang with a different soup base?
We only have a slightly spicy soup base this time, but we also found out after inquiringGood news for people who are afraid of spicy stars, gospel for vegetarians, Yang GuofuTomato soupThe end is already on the way.There is also spicy and spicy mix, just around the corner.After these two new products arrive in the store, we will update with everyone to see how they taste.Friends from all over the world who have been to the store to try it out, please also talk about the after-eating experience according to your taste.
What did the other team members say?
From Yunnan@Social Meow:The thick beef bone fragrant can be drunk and the stewing time is long enough, and Yang Guofu’s soup base is not very milky., Although I am used to eating heavy spicy, this big bowl of spicy and spicy is also my heart, and my heart.
@小队长 from Beijing:In addition to the rich taste of bone broth, the taste also has a very complex aroma.Coupled with a few tablespoons of sesame sauce, it really feels like returning to Beijing to eat spicy tang. (The sesame sauce in the northern spicy soup base is standard. It’s really not spicy. The chef added a spoonful when it was out of the pot.Again, this is really not Sichuan Mala Tang🌚)
🌟Team taste reminder:This shop tastes slightly spicy, milky white bone soup is good, no need to add rice, it is definitely not Sichuan Mala Tang as you imagined.If you usually like spicy food, A friend who likes to eat super spicy red oil, malatang similar to spicy hot pot,Seeing this, you can consider that the taste may not be suitable, because this shop may not be the Mala Tang you imagined.
