Sichuan cuisine is not only spicy and spicy, but a bowl of snow-white but delicious hoof flower soup can also reach your soul! The most well-known hoof flower restaurant in Chengdu is the old mother's hoof flower. There are many rumors about which is the authentic old mother's hoof flower, and each has its own theory. It is said that there was only one old mother's hoof flower, at that time in the back door of the People's Park, there was a Wang Fat Duck Restaurant opposite, and the penultimate one of the Wang Fat Duck to the north to the street intersection was the unique old mother hoof flower at that time. Now near the People's Park, there are signs hanging everywhere in the old mother's hoof flower general store, and few people know which one the real old mother's hoof flower is. However, there is no need to investigate the authenticity, just eat happily, each person has the old mother's hoof flower that everyone recognizes.
Located at the main entrance of People's Park, the old mother's hoof flower has been in bloom for some years, according to the store, which has been in bloom for more than 50 years. Hanging at the door are eye-catching words reported by CCTV and Sichuan Tv, as well as photos of running men coming to the store to record programs. Passing by her door countless times, I was always curious if it lived up to the name, so I finally came to find out the other day.
The space in the store is OK, spacious and bright, there are many tables, the table is square and round, the visual effect is not very good, but the health is still clean and tidy. It wasn't dinnertime when we went, but there were still several tables of people, and it was conceivable that it would explode at dinnertime. The walls are full of various honorary certificates and some photos of celebrities who have eaten in the store before to show the authenticity and old qualifications of their home.
Her mother's hoof flower feels ordinary, may be I expect too high, is the taste of ordinary boiled pig's trotters, although it is indeed stewed very tender, very rake, with chopsticks gently clipped on the bone and flesh separation, but the taste is fruitless, there is no such a special amazing feeling, the ingredients can be seen at a glance should be frozen goods, fishy taste is somewhat not suppressed. The dipping sauce is also relatively general, it can't be eaten fragrant, and it is not spicy, and the taste of the old dry mother is similar. The kidney beans inside are not bad, the stew has been a little melted, very sticky, a bite down, rich and smooth.
Other dishes are also more general, the amount of meat back to the pot is not large, the fat meat is more, and the garlic seedlings are a little old, slightly spicy. Mapo tofu tastes bad enough, rabbit brain shells are not flavorful enough, and there are not too many memory points. Husband and wife lung slices are OK, the portion is very sufficient, looking at a large plate of red, but in fact, the pepper is not very spicy, very fragrant, the taste is very flavorful. Overall, it was somewhat disappointing.
