In fact, today is an academic celebration dinner for a squad member who loves food and a foodie friend, so the member rushes to the store to find out what is happening.I don’t know if I went there, I found that it has one of the favorite foods of the team members: Shanghai Wonton!At the same time, I discovered that there is actually a delicious thing called a leek box in the world!While opening his eyes, the number of foodies rose a lot in an instant.After dinner, I drove all the way, and I went into a Japanese crepe shop!Quickly move it up and share it with the magistrates.

The English name of Yikoufu Snacks is "Mama's Lu Dumpling House", which specializes in various Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Cantonese snacks.It has three branches in LA, each address is as follows:

The small team member went to the one on Garfield today. Don't look at the small store, but the environment is very clean and tidy. Let's take a look at Jingming's interior display:

Menu: A variety of snacks with a very wide selection. The main thing is a variety of pasta, which has both southern specialties and northern famous dishes, so all the food in the southeast and northwest should not be lonely when they reach the store. The young team members were suddenly attracted by the Shanghai magpie above. The seniors and sisters who went there also chose their favorite leek box, amaranth soup, leek pork dumplings and so on. Take a look at the price: Leek pork dumplings and chives box are 6 servings, the same as leeks box is $ 3.99 per serving, dumplings are only $ 3.25, when you come up you will find the portion is large and the size is suitable, this price is in the snack circle It is very economical.

The price of handmade dim sum will be higher. The team members did not order handmade this time, but the estimated price should be consistent with the quantity.

The food is served efficiently. Soon came the first dish, the youngest member of Shanghai's favorite! It looks like the praise is quite praise: the green soup, the floating small white jade, the chives floating in it, softening the enthusiastic heat, it is almost to awaken the deep appetite of people with the poetic and artistic intentions in the heart. . . . Allow me to cough up under art. . .

I started to eat: The key to the characteristics and deliciousness of the southern tadpole is thin skin. The fillings are adequate but moderate, not too much and not too small. Make sure to take one bite, the mouth melts, and the soup overflows with the meat. The fragrance is mellow and the aftertaste is long. In this respect, Xiaofu of Yifu has achieved the rich flavor, the freshness of the meat and the lightness of the soup without losing its flavor. The only drawback is that the skin is too thick. It may still be a matter of choice of materials and practices. There is no crystal clear beauty and mouthfeel of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. But this can be compensated by the fragrant soup flavor.

Let's see Xiaoxun Meng's photo:

The second special dish is the famous gourmet leek box, which is well-known in China.The students who don't know so well and the team members come to popular science together: the leek box is one of the famous traditional snacks of the Han nationality in the north, and it is a festive food custom in some areas.Generally choose spring leek as filling or raw pork as the main raw material to make food, suitable for spring consumption.The skin of the product is golden and crisp.The filling leeks are crispy and tender, with a beautiful taste, which is a good time.Jiaodong area (Yantai, Qingdao) is also called "Habing hoe board" and pot stickers. It is a food snack made with flour, leeks or raw pork as the main raw materials.The leek box with vegetarian stuffing is not fatty, tastes good, and very nutritious.The leek box is the food on the third day of the northern lunar new year: Tianjin and other regions have "first day dumplings on the second day,Junior boxTurn in the pot. "In other words. It seems that it is not only delicious, but also very tall!

Let's take a look at the Leek Box:

The key to the deliciousness of the leek box is, of course, the leek and the skin called the "box".Yikoufu's leek box has golden skin, crispness and firmness.The oil must be clean and hygienic. The fried skin looks golden and shiny, just like the salted fish buns fried at the scene of an ancient street inn (for popular science, please see TVB Wang Zulan’s latest drama "Food as a Slave", haha!), and It reminds people of the Indian flying cakes that were once a smash hit.

Leek stuffing is also full of fragrance. The fried ones are not old and chewy. We at a table researched how their leeks were made for a while, because they did not stick to the skin at all, and it was delicious and refreshing.

The third course: Xiao Long Bao, a must-have meal!The senior elder sister of Da Li Xiu Wai Huizhong deliberately commented on this seemingly ordinary but mysterious must-eat dish: "Its Xiao Long Bao soup tastes very good, but the presentation is not so flattering, and the skin is thicker. , But the overall taste with the soup entrance is still good. In summary, the Xiaolongbao tastes good. In the United States, the conditions are like this, you can bear it!" (smile~)

Nanjing postdoctoral schoolmate also went to the field to teach the Xiaolong soup bag the correct way of eating: first, use the chopsticks to put the bag top down, clamp it up, bite a small hole in the bottom with the mouth, and then put the soup in the bag Suck the juice slowly before you start chewing the buns. When eating this way, the soup will not spill, and the tongue can taste the connotation of the soup very well. It won't feel so hot when eating Xiao Long Bao, and the taste is very high and elegant. .

How to eat:

In addition to three main snacks, our group also ordered amaranth and leek pork dumplings. The characteristics of amaranth is: fragrant! Very friends who want to eat light vegetarian food and like pasta and dim sum in the hot summer. The simmering soup is also very full. It seems to melt in the mouth for a spring ~ The pork dumplings are very large. Although it is only six petals, the picture will stay old once you eat it.

The pancakes added later also came out. Feel that the pot stickers are the lowest in the collective evaluation. It sells very well, but it is not hard enough or crispy, and the quality of the meat is far less than expected. It feels average.

In summary: Yifu is mainly suitable for breakfast, Chinese food, or a good friend to eat a snack in the afternoon. It is estimated that few people eat dinner at night. It is also suitable for takeaway. When we ate, we saw the clerk taking several orders for takeaway.
