For the first meal in autumn, Ai Mili said he would take me something warm
Drive along 880 to an exit that you have never made before
Turning into a door is Taco Bell, inside is the plaza of Home Depot
...It doesn't look like a place to eat seriously
She pointed to a small shop and said: This is it
When I got out of the car, I thought to myself, it's over, won't you bring me to step on the thunder
As soon as I entered the store, my eyes suddenly brightened and opened up
My favorite IKEA straw chandelier fell from the ceiling
The dark industrial-style wall is also the IKEA wall-mounted table lamp I have been planting for a long time.
Light wood tables and chairs are the favorite cold breeze of young people nowadays
Designed armchair, simple and calm booth
This second impression after entering the store suddenly regained a city
The menu continues the tone of decoration
At first glance I thought it was a home magazine
First drink
This dreamy color, although beautiful + cool
But, I hesitate... it's not about drinking pigment...
Fortunately, this tea is detailed on the menu
Butterfly Bean Flower
Pure natural pigments commonly used in Southeast Asia
Soaking up is such a coquettish blue
Add sour lemon juice, it will turn purple
Butterfly pea flower tea itself has no obvious taste
Mainly the color looks good
One cup is based on grapefruit tea
There is also transparent but Q-flavored peach gum inside
The main body of the other cup is chia seed and aiyu jelly
The blue cup has coconut milk and a little vanilla
Next is the appetizer
This shop focuses on Cantonese and Southeast Asian cuisine
There are strong and spicy, but also warm and light
The portions are relatively small, mainly for the rest of the meal~
But then it turns out that we ordered a bit too much......_(:зゝ∠)_
Braised Pork Ribs with Shacha Sauce in Claypot
I thought it would be salty, but the entrance feels milder
Shacha flavor is sufficient, and other spices such as soy sauce are not used to overwhelm the guests
So it won’t feel too strong if you just eat it empty
Borneo Coconut Milk Chicken
Coconut milk and small-cut boiled taro together create a creamy taste
The soup base is delicious
The chicken nuggets inside are slightly sweet, and it also comes with the original flavor of chicken soup
Suitable for foodies who have light taste and like Southeast Asian cuisine
(PS Ai Mi Li especially likes this bowl)
Crab Roe and Shrimp Stuffed Beans
It's kind of like the shrimp slippery shrimp balls in a hot pot restaurant
Make a circle of long beans underneath, and fry them on both sides until golden, and then add the sauce
When eating, you should dip it in the golden sand next to it, which is fried and crispy garlic cubes.
Compared with other dishes, the prawns are firm and crispy, and the beans are smooth and greasy.
Malt Golden Sand Tofu
This dish is said to be very popular and I like it
You may ask
"Fried tofu coated with maltose and coated with garlic?
What is this operation? Can it be delicious? Still sticking to the plate..."
Actually, when I eat, I don’t even realize that the outer layer is sugar.
The full sand and the sugar coating blend into one, just feel like a crispy skin
The inside is smooth and tender tofu. Be careful when you eat it.
Grilled prawns and seafood with sambal sauce
When the proprietress served the dish, she said it was the best-selling dish since opening
Many foreigners pass by the door nearby, come in and try
I am not familiar with Cantonese and Southeast Asian cuisine, so I dare not order
But seafood on the big plate is the universal language of food all over the world
Stir-fry with sambal sauce from Nyonya cuisine
The heavy sweet and spicy taste slowly climbs to the tip of the tongue
It's a bit like Korean spicy chicken noodles, but not as exaggerated as spicy
Have fun with fresh big shrimp, mussels and squid!
Baked Rice Cake with Cheese and Bacon
A Korean + Western dish
Compared with other dishes, the craftsmanship is very simple
The expectation was very low, but I found it in my mouth
Today’s bowl of this rice cake is cooked just hard, not hard or sticky
Cheese flavor, bacon and bacon shreds, and chicken broth flavor
If you bring children with you, don’t eat too spicy or salty
You can order a cheese rice cake to ensure you are full
Crispy Soft Shell Crab
The soft shell crab I ate for the first time that year was very small
I thought it was a special crab variety
Today I found out that I could grow so big? !
Aimi told me that soft shell crabs are actually just a form of crabs
A crab has to go through 13 shell changes in its life, and it is a soft shell crab when it changes shell.
After the noodles are fried, the whole crab can be eaten
The white crab meat in the body is very tender and big
The crab legs and crab claws are crispy, so you don't have to gnaw the crab legs hard at last!
Finally, the appetizer and main course were almost eaten, and two pots came—
One is milky white soup basePork belly chicken
Guangdong’s Dabu famous dish is suitable for autumn fat
The pork belly is resilient and the chicken is tender
Even if you don’t like boiled pork belly and chicken, you must drink this soup
Fresh, that is expected, no need to go into details
A girl who has been busy in the shop came over and asked: Do I need to add some pepper?
Only then did I realize that the soup does have the special spicy flavor of pepper
But on the contrary, it’s used for refreshing, so I don’t feel irritating.
The sister paper said that the pepper was added a lot before, but the guests said it was too spicy
So now it’s adding less and less, so little that she feels a little insufficient
"So the pork belly chicken needs a lot of pepper?"
"Uh, not really, but I like to add a lot of peppers = ="
(It was only then that it was written "White Pepper King Pork Belly Chicken Pot")
Tell me about the sister-in-law of Hong Kong Pu, who turned out to be the boss’s daughter
Same age as us, so we started talking
She claims to be a stove madman, so she can eat hot pot while doing her homework
She also strictly controls the store at home, so she has a lot of pepper in the pork belly...
By the way, she is a design professional, no wonder the decor is so tasteful
After drinking pork belly chicken soup, there is still a pot on the table that can be poured into the pot
After it is boiled, you can cook the meat and vegetables~
The two-person set meal provided in the store (also enough for three small stomach diners to share)
Contains a fat beef, a large plate of seafood, and a vegetable platter
The dipping sauce for Shabu-Shabu is also very Cantonese
The black one is the seasoned soy sauce, the yellow one is the satay sauce
There are also garlic, chili, green onion, coriander, you can mix and match
The Hong Kong friend who went with said that the satay sauce has the feeling of curry fish balls, and even eaten a wave of memories.
I glanced at the menu, the price of this hot pot set meal is not low
My sister paper is also a little embarrassed, but she still patiently tells us
The quality of the ingredients and the skill of making the soup are the best
"Even the supplier said that they had never seen us like this, and asked if there was anything more expensive."
"Choosing this relatively biased shop is also to rent out the shop and buy some good ingredients."
With these words, we can eat sincerity from the steamed meat and seafood
But just like the store’s control of pepper, everyone’s experience and feeling are always very different
So she also reminded us that if the food served is not satisfactory
Be sure to tell the waiter and bring it back to the kitchen to adjust
In the end, although we were full, the store insisted on asking us to try the chicken pot
Pork belly chicken is also available on the menu. It is a set meal with good meat, seafood and vegetables.
The last time I went to a certain store to eat chicken pot, I returned home in a hurry, the chicken was too firewood and the portion was slightly less
But as soon as the lid of this pot of chicken was opened, the fragrance made me decide to try another piece at the risk of death.
Like the chicken nuggets in pork belly chicken, it is tender!
The sauce is thick, and every piece of chicken is topped
It's already cooked before serving, and it's delicious, spicy
The store said that it’s not really a chicken pot in Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
So it’s not written on the menu
But my principle of eating has always been, don’t worry about whether it’s authentic or not, it’s delicious.
At least the taste and texture have won my heart~
Lesson learned: next time you must eat chicken pot
Add soup to the side dishes, rinse them all out and eat them clean
Seriously, this is the first big tonic in autumn, I have a very happy meal
Take another sip of pork belly chicken soup, wipe your mouth, and feel the beautiful aftertaste
The wallet may be a little painful, but if it’s with good friends, family, important people
If it is to share delicious and nutritious food
Then the money is spent, nothing wrong!
