At a typical sunny and noon in Los Angeles, we met at this Hai Phong Beining Chicken Noodle Shop to eat noodles.
Haiphong is the third largest municipality in Vietnam after Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. Because of its location in the port area of Vietnam, it was divided into Haiphong City during the French colonial period in 1888, and was bombed several times by the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War. Beining Street is in Haiphong City and can be said to be the first food street. For the overseas Chinese in Vietnam in the XNUMXs and XNUMXs, it had a different meaning. A description of Mr. Luo Zechang, quoted from vietnamhk.com:
"(Beining Street) is located in a lively area where overseas Chinese live... The food shops on both sides of the street are adjacent to each other, and the sidewalks are wide. Early in the day and early mornings, gathered in the suburbs of meat and vegetable vendors from the suburbs, it has become a prosperous temporary meat and vegetable market, with Haiphong small Known as the market; at night when the lights are in the hands, the meat and vegetable vendors evacuated, and the food and beverage stalls are stationed. All kinds of sweet and savoury foods: roast meat, noodles, rice porridge, glutinous rice balls, and drinks. At this time, the whole street is brightly lit, and the stalls are connected one by one. , Pedestrians and diners like weaving, the air is filled with the smell of soup, coriander and stew, which is mouth-watering.
On the streets of Beining, which are full of the atmosphere of the city, the chicken flour of Beining Street carries the gourmet memories of countless locals. "Chicken bones need to be boiled slowly for several hours." "Chicken breeds are three-yellow fat young hens that have not laid eggs and have thick bones."
Seeing that my saliva is coming down.
At lunchtime, you have to wait in line. The menu is very rich. The first soup powder is chicken powder. In addition, there are dry fish powder, rice (of course there is Hainan chicken rice), chicken has become the main, butter chicken should be proud of them.
Because Vietnam borders many countries and was once a foreign colony, its food style is also affecting the eating habits of many regions in a subtle way. So many snacks are very interesting. Ordered an appetizer, Vietnamese-style pork shrimp intestine powder (the first appetizer snack in the menu), and Cantonese-style morning tea intestine powder have the same effect.
Another typical example of colonization is the Vietnamese sandwich Banh mi (also translated as Baguette in English, or French baguette in French), brought to Vietnam by the French, and after a Vietnamese improvement, cut open the bread and add cured pork or Beef, coriander, spring onion and sweet and sour pickled radish shreds have become authentic Vietnamese. The author also saw the sale of macarons in Vietnamese pavilions elsewhere.
Pork hand noodle is a famous snack in Hue, the ancient capital of Vietnam. Coming to Hue without pork hand noodle soup and beef powder in Hue is like going to Japan without eating sushi, going to Italy without eating macaroni, and not eating roast duck in Beijing. Because Hue is an "imperial city", its traditional food selection is strict. In this bowl of pig hand powder, the pig hand is the protagonist of the bottom, because the soup and the powder have been integrated into one, the powder is soft and rotten, and the soup is also strong. Only the pig hand is still so detached and complete. Order this in winter, absolutely right.
Chicken noodles in Bac Ninh Street belong to north and central Vietnam. The most common Vietnamese soup powder in Los Angeles is a powder with a southern flavor-relatively thin and transparent. When you eat it, you will add a lot of fresh vegetables and bean sprouts, as well as a clove of lime and various sauces. The flour in the north-central area is more inclined to taste the original taste. The soup in chicken powder is slowly stewed with pork bones, chicken feet, chicken wings, and chicken mixed with fresh coriander and onion flowers. And the powder is relatively thick and wide. Some companions said that they had shredded eggs in the ingredients.
After all, Asian cuisine is similar, and porridge is also a typical Vietnamese snack. Compared to white porridge in the coastal areas of China, the bottom porridge of Vietnamese chicken porridge is a porridge made by frying minced garlic and rice-it does have a faint and flattering garlic flavor. Common Vietnamese porridges include chicken porridge, pork porridge and pork blood porridge. Sprinkle with fried onion / red onion / garlic powder and spring onion after serving, and sometimes add vegetables such as bean sprouts and shredded ginger to enhance the taste.
This chicken porridge is also full of winter goodies. Yes, the taste of umami is very good, even if there is MSG, we will forgive it.
Hot porridge soup noodles, the whole person is warm. If you like to close your mouth with some sugar, coconut water is also genuine.
In Los Angeles, there are always a lot of cute and respectable people who cross the ocean and come to the other side, miss the food in their hometown, can't help but open a restaurant, comfort themselves, fellow friends and relatives in the same town, and also open for us foodies Vision. For Vietnamese, the happiness lies in the originality and simplicity of the ingredients. It is not difficult for them to copy the flavor of the year. Of course, there must be picky Vietnamese (overseas Chinese) come out and shake their heads, saying that this is not the bowl of chicken noodles I ate. How about that? For me, I will definitely recommend it to friends.
Yes, so it was selected for the squad 2015 food map (food mapplease click here) In 128 restaurants. hope you'll like it.
