Old friend powder is a well-known delicacy in Nanning, and it can also be said to be the most important in Nanning's food culture. A bowl of old friend powder with sour shoots, tempeh and chili peppers represents the most unique food customs of the Nanning people! Sour, spicy, salty, fragrant, these four flavors always float in the streets of Nanning, which is the most familiar taste of Nanning people.
Speaking of Nanning's old friend powder, Beiquan sister old friend has to mention, this shop is called "Nanning's most difficult to wait for a bowl of old friend powder", often queued for an hour or two may not be able to eat, but also can not urge a single, dare to urge a single immediately let you return money and leave, it is such a drag! But today we are not talking about beiquan sister's old friend, but an old friend powder shop opened by beiquan sister's relatives.
The shop is located in a remote corner of Liuyuan Road in Qingxiu District, and the location is very secluded, on the commercial street of the community. Enter from xinxing village and walk along the main road to find it. In the middle of a row of snack bars, a somewhat shabby shop with electric cars and diners eating powder parked at the door.
The store is not large, there are several tables inside, the cashier, the price list are super similar to the old friends of the North Spring Sister, but the price is much closer to the people, nearly half cheaper than the North Spring Sister. Although the opening time is not long, but the popularity is really bursting, diners in addition to the nearby residents, there are many foodies from the big and old, it is said that there is a once very popular old friend powder shop nearby has been robbed of most of the business by her family.
Cooking in the kitchen was a sister in her forties. Although the process of cooking the powder is not as slow as that of BeiquanJie, it is also very serious, cold pan under the oil under the ingredients, and then stir-fry for a while and then under the meat and soup, halfway will fish out the foam and floating ingredients. When stir-frying ingredients, the spicy taste is very rushed, and it smells fragrant and choking.
The amount of powder is less than that of BeiquanJie, after all, Beiquanjie is the weight of three or two, and here is the normal two-two weight. And the taste, is still very close to the old friend of the North Spring Sister, the sour and salty are more balanced, the heat is also the right benefit, the meat ingredients are crisp and tender, and the powder will not be too bad. The soup base looks very thick, but it is not oily at all, and when I started eating, I felt that the taste was not very enough, and after eating and drinking the soup, I felt that it was still relatively mellow.
For many old Nanning people, old friend noodles are the most original taste. Old friend powder was originally old friend noodles, and later evolved into old friend powder. Her old friend's minced meat wet noodles taste is also OK, all the soup is inhaled into the noodles, plus this noodle is not yi noodles, it is wet noodles, once cooked it can absorb the soup, so that every bite you eat, is full of old friends taste!
