Confirmed the itinerary passing through Shenyang, the classmate boss said, come on, come on, please eat the old side dumplings.
As a Hubei person who eats rice every day, no matter how delicious the dumplings are, they can't attract me.
But I knew that he must be introducing me to what he thought was the most typical and characteristic food in Shenyang, and I was also looking forward to it by car.
It is said that LaoBian dumplings began around 1829, has a history of nearly two hundred years, the founder of Bian Fu, with dumplings stuffed fresh, thin skin filling, freshly wrapped and made famous, so the name of Laobian dumplings, inherited to this day, has become a special brand in Shenyang, but also rated as "Chinese famous snacks" and "Chinese famous spots".
There are many sayings about dumplings in the north, "winter solstice dumplings, summer solstice noodles", "go out dumplings, enter the façade", "eat dumpling soup, better than prescribing medicine" and so on, dumplings have become synonymous with northern food culture.
In LaoBian dumplings, there is also a lot of traditional knowledge popularized. Perhaps this is also the fundamental reason why a dumpling restaurant can be passed down for 200 years. Food and culture are inseparable, Mencius said that "food color is also", enjoying eating and drinking these beautiful things is human nature, only the formation of culture can be lasting inheritance.
Fine products will be popular, the old side dumpling restaurant upstairs and downstairs is almost full, fortunately, in advance of the reservation, waiting for us to sit in the crowded hall, as the old customers of the old side dumplings, the manager thoughtfully recommended the tasting version of 30 yuan ten cages.
A tall stack of cage drawers was brought up, we were really surprised and surprised, the first time we saw such a big battle, it was really worthy of the reputation of the northeast people.
Fortunately, a cage of 4, as light as carob melon, cabbage, as thick as fennel, celery, fresh as mackerel, shrimp, fragrant as beef, mutton, different tastes, different shapes, cage after cage to taste, only the color is delicious, full of fresh food, mouth fragrant.
It is said that Hou Baolin once inscribed a sentence for laobian dumplings, "old side dumplings, the world's first", with my insight that I have not yet eaten all over the world, I can't confirm it, but when we came out of the dumpling restaurant satisfied and wandered around the middle street, the feeling of fresh and fragrant dumplings has always been there, which is particularly beautiful in the night of Shenyang.
