To say that there is a more unique existence in Xi'an cuisine, it is estimated that many people can't hide from gourd head steamed buns. Many foreign friends avoid this dish, but it is the favorite of many locals.
A few days ago to the eastern suburbs to do business, just next to a gourd head shop, but also a well-known old shop, just a long time did not eat gourd head, so decided to solve the lunch here.
The store is located in Chanba Longhu at the entrance of a community, should be a branch of this brand, but from the decoration environment should be open for a long time, and this kind of shop is generally serving the surrounding residents, so it is good to eat at noon, there are not many people to know.
In good conscience, this shop is indeed more crowded in the surrounding shops, and my meal time is about 12:30, which is also the peak of the meal.
Of course, because it is a heavy member of a review, so we always like to take pictures before eating, specially searched online, found that this brand of Hulutou store branch is quite a lot, there are at least ten stores in the light review, but the opening of the store should be about eight, basically southeast, northwest and northwest, said all over Xi'an is not excessive, the farthest store opened to Guo Du.
Although the ratings on the reviews are not stable, they are basically at the middle and upper levels, after all, eating is difficult to adjust, and it is rare to maintain such a level.
Of course, walking into the store to rush this environment can basically judge whether this gourd head is authentic, and the old gourd head shop in Xi'an has always given people the feeling of being the same:
As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by a large boxy table, the table is still slightly greasy, steamed buns and large bowls must be placed at the cash register, the cash register must be the kind of glass cabinet, and the cabinet should put some cold dishes.
There must be a freezer behind the silver table, which contains ice peak sour plum soup beer, some ice peaks can be taken by customers themselves, next to a few plastic baskets of soda, after drinking empty bottles can be directly inserted.
In addition, there must be a few old aunts in the store, the boss is best middle-aged men, if it is such a "standard", rest assured and bold to go in! There will be no thunder.
Basically, the hulutou store in the impression is described above, and the details may vary from store to store or to customer, but it is generally similar.
If I suddenly came across a tall gourd head shop, I would not choose to go in, not afraid of being pitted, but worried about whether it would be improper?
Of course, this shop is still more traditional.
His family's gourd head 22 yuan a piece, this price is basically at a normal level, that is, now the price of food soaring, many snacks are either in the price or in the amount of articles.
This shop can not escape this law, although the price is medium, but the size of the bun is slightly smaller, compared with the bun in the gourd head shop downstairs of my usual eating unit, it is about 2/3 of the size of the other party, mainly some thin.
The bun of the gourd head does not have to be broken like the steamed bun, almost the size can be, the gourd head standard is two buns, but I want one more today, which is equivalent to 23 yuan for this gourd head.
Here to remind everyone that online group buying will be more cost-effective, there are gourd head kimchi and Ice Peak soda, these few buy alone then the price must be more than 25 yuan, but the group purchase price is cheaper than I buy a single gourd head.
This time I failed to pay money before I saw a review, otherwise I could be cheaper than a dollar or two. If you go to the group purchase, I think the weight and price of their home are still very friendly.
Because there may be more people in the restaurant, gourd head belongs to popular cuisine, and some young ladies may not like to eat, but the big masters should all like it, and it can be seen from the gender ratio of diners in the store.
It may be that there are too many big masters, and everyone does not pay attention to each other, so the phenomenon of swallowing clouds and spitting fog from time to time is more frequent, and the clerks have not interfered much.
Personally feel that this kind of behavior is not advisable, the store should make more efforts in this regard, after all, it is a public occasion, and some should pay attention to it.
When waiting for the gourd head, talk about some personal feelings, first of all, the environment is said to be in the past, Xi'an's gourd head shop and steamed bun hall are basically this environment, in fact, this store is relatively clean, after all, it is the peak period, it is already very good to be able to do so.
Secondly, the big sister of the service has a very good attitude, what do we have to say, basically ask questions or let help will give help, unlike some stores that treat customers as stone people or the clerks themselves intermittently deaf.
And their family meal speed is still OK, the peak period did not wait too long.
In summary, if you live nearby to relieve your hunger here, there is no problem, after all, in all aspects, it is a sincere gourd head shop.
The gourd head is brought to the table during the conversation, okay, let's taste it!
We are not professional gourmets, do not make too many professional reviews, only say personal opinions.
The intestines are handled quite clean, the fishy smell is not heavy, the amount is the amount you see in the figure, how much you feel judge by yourself, I think it is still quite good.
The taste is decent, similar to the taste of the gourd head that is usually eaten, but this snack itself is a popular snack, as long as it is clean and solid, the taste is the best as long as the usual taste is maintained.
Eating gourd head alone is actually a bit boring, although we are a family of three, but only I chose gourd head, if there are many people to spell a cold dish or want a fat sausage stick meat, that is the perfect match.
I'll stop here today, next time I'll go to their main store to try it and see how?
