In the bustling business district of Shangxiajiu, the long-established brands everywhere are porridge noodles and sugar water snacks, and it is not easy to find a stir-fry restaurant. Speaking of Xicheng Duhui, I believe everyone is very familiar with it. And Cong Gui Road, after the West City Metropolis, may be relatively unfamiliar. On an old, depressed road, there is a humble "fly restaurant" where the small shop that has been open for many years is quietly hidden here, and you may miss it if you are not careful. This humble small shop passing by, the renovated signboard, the ordinary and simple store name, but in the quiet street behind the bustling for many years, not a friend to introduce, will not know. It is the restaurant that Mao Ge wants to talk to everyone about today, "Zhan Ji Restaurant".
Cham Kee is supposed to be the only Cantonese restaurant on Cong Gui Road, the storefront is very small, there are only five or six tables where there are tiles to cover the head, and there are no empty seats at 6 o'clock in the evening. There are a few more tickets on the street in front of the store, although there is a lot of traffic next to it, but it is satisfied that late diners can occupy a table, which is also the unique style of the big brand stalls on the street. After decades of changing seasons, Cham Kee Restaurant has been giving comfort to countless old Taste Buds in the name of food, which is rare in the fast-paced Guangzhou.
<h1>Classic Kiyohei chicken</h1>
A few years ago, I had heard about the store, and I thought it was Zhanjiang chicken flavor, but later I learned that Zhan Ji took the name of the boss. Cantonese people love chicken as fate, many Guangzhou gourmets to Cham Ji punch card must order Cham Ji chicken, in addition to dine-in, come to chop ingredients home to add food is not a few neighbors. After all, there are really not many shops in Guangzhou that can eat authentic Qingping chicken.
Come to Cham Ji to eat, you can see that every table must order a plate of chicken, everyone must order a case and a half, or a, a white cut chicken with two or three Cantonese dishes, on the intersection dim street lamp, eat while chatting. The yellow and transparent chicken body has already felt infinitely sensual, and it immediately pokes at the careful heart of the white cut chicken control, which makes people fantasize about the combination of crisp chicken skin and tender chicken meat it causes in the mouth.
Cham Ji White Cut Chicken is an authentic Qingping chicken method, made of white brine. In terms of maturity, Cham Kee chicken can be regarded as the most partial type of white cut chicken I have ever eaten, which may be that the store deliberately extended the soaking time of chicken for more than ten minutes, just like the principle of low temperature slow cooking, and the final finished bone marrow does not have bright red blood, and has turned to a light brown color. Fortunately, this partial cooking method did not affect the taste of Cham Ji chicken. The skin is smooth and the meat is smooth, the chicken taste is fragrant, and the elders of the peers also say that they have tasted a faint taste of salt and baked spices, I wonder if the regulars have this experience?
This layer of crispy chicken skin is crystal clear, like a finishing touch, it can also be said to be the essence, which greatly improves the tenderness of the chicken, even if it is a chicken breast, it is not woody, chewy and flavorful. Eating methods can be divided into two kinds, first clip a piece, put into the mouth slowly chew, the chicken is layered, the tip of the tongue slowly penetrates the rich chicken aroma, and the silky gravy fills the entire mouth. Ginger shallot dipping sauce is the preferred dipping sauce for white cut chicken, which can play a role in removing fishy flavor, which can not only perfectly highlight the aroma of chicken, but also make white cut chicken become thick and fresh. Ginger and shallots are also not stingy, a plate of hands, both in line with health requirements, but also to meet the special love of ginger and onion dipping sauce of people, the aftertaste is endless.
There are a few white cut chickens hanging on the windowsill, cutting boards on the table, cut to order, and a tungsten wire light bulb inside, which looks like a snack shop in the 1980s and 1990s. Through the glass window, you can see a row of yellow and charming white cut chicken hanging in the cutting stall, and the master can eat the delicious taste of Qingping chicken in less than a few minutes.
<h1>Raw sausages of chicken soaked in oil</h1>
In addition to the white cut chicken, other small stir-fry is also good, and the menu plate is pasted on the wall to look up. This oil-soaked chicken sausage can be said to be an old-fashioned small stir-fry that is almost difficult to find in Guangzhou, crisp raw intestines, tender pork liver plus soft eggs, seasoned with a little wine, after stir-frying is really fragrant, let people appetite, especially under the rice.
<h1>Sweet and sour ribs</h1>
Sweet and sour ribs is a very homely Cantonese small stir-fry, the sweet and sour ribs of this house taste very good, the rib meat is crispy and tender, the inside is still very tender and juicy rib meat, plus sour and slightly sweet sauce seasoning, eat very appetizing, a bite of a piece is very refreshing.
<h1>Braised tilapia</h1>
The most popular fish in the shop is this roasted tilapia with green onions, tilapia is fried on both sides with soy sauce sugar, the skin is crispy, the fish is tender, the taste of the sauce I like very much, the right benefits of the fresh and sweet, the whole fish is very delicious, almost every table must order.
<h1>And flavor pig hands</h1>
Japanese pork hand is also a very popular dish in the shop, the taste of pork hand is soft and sticky, retaining a bit of bite, the more chewy the more fragrant, the soft sticky oil aroma of collagen is irresistible, I personally often order this dish to eat.
<h1>Stir-fried beef with fresh mushrooms</h1>
A very classic Cantonese stir-fry, fresh mushrooms are very crisp and tender, beef is also tender and delicious, together very delicious. The family's small stir-fried dishes are full of woks, basically very old-fashioned Guangzhou flavor, very rare.
<h1>Five-willow fried egg</h1>
Speaking of old-fashioned traditional Cantonese cuisine, how can it be less than five willow fried eggs? It can be said that the level of wuliu fried eggs can almost see the level of a Cantonese restaurant, this five willow fried eggs are fried all over the body, the fine holes are densely packed with sour and sweet wuliu sauce, the acidity of the sauce is just right, it will not be too sweet, and the feeling of the fusion of crisp and sour and sweet is really very delicious!
<h1>Onion and ginger chicken offal</h1>
It is another wok gas small stir-fry, the shop is not only white cut chicken delicious, chicken offal fried is also very delicious, I personally recommend the shop ginger onion chicken offal, because the amount of chicken offal is more than the heart of the chicken offal haha, the taste of chicken gizzard is particularly good, very crisp and delicious, especially under the rice, really delicious can not stop.
<h1>Steamed Taishan oysters</h1>
There is also this oyster in the shop is also worth eating, the choice is fresh Taishan oysters, and the use of the most delicious oyster steamed, without adding any seasoning, enough to see the quality of the oysters in the store confidence.
Hurry to pry open one, the oyster meat is really very full, white as jade is really the same as "milk in the sea", eating alone is already sweet and delicious enough, dipped in a little soy sauce oysters are more delicious, really delicious, long aftertaste.
Overall, Mao Ge personally feels that the products of this old Cantonese restaurant are really authentic, the classic Qingping chicken taste needless to say, other Cantonese small stir-fry are also classic Guangzhou old taste, friends who like to eat white cut chicken and traditional Cantonese cuisine can come to this "Zhan Ji Restaurant" to taste.
