Steamed buns are one of the most temperamental delicacies. Why? If you have a chance to go to Xi'an to take a look, the foodies will understand. Locals eat steamed buns, chatting with their companions and breaking steamed buns, and they really can't eat them in their mouths for an hour. However, when bubble steamed buns came to Henan, most of the eating methods were simplified, and it was really not easy to experience the fun of breaking steamed buns.
Recently, I received a tip that there is a steamed bun restaurant in Zhengzhou, although it is no longer the top of the bubble bun list, but it was once one of the best fierce characters. And in the taste of this piece by many diners praised, and even gave a full score of super high evaluation. What the hell is going on here?

On the day we went, the temperature in Zhengzhou plunged. It is reasonable to say that in this weather condition, hot and scalding food should be very popular with foodies. But the popularity of the store was unexpected, there were only a few tables of diners in the empty hall, and the people who came to eat the steamed buns did not go to the next door to eat cold skins. Could it be that the information is wrong?
The boss said that this situation is very abnormal, probably because the temperature has dropped sharply and there are not many people on the street, so there are fewer people entering the store to eat. To be honest, such popularity is really what we did not expect, after all, it was once the top three in the rankings. Weighing the pros and cons, popularity can only give a 4 points.

After all, our original intention to visit the store is also because foodies have a high opinion of the taste of their steamed buns. Mouth soup, water siege, single walk, small stir-fry these can not only be found in the shop, but also divided into beef and lamb two categories.
The steaming lamb water was served around the table, and when he picked up a spoon and stirred it, the rich aroma spread out. The soup is oily, taste a bite, the oil aroma is prominent but not greasy, and the aftertaste is still permeated with the fragrance of silk. The buns are even in size, slightly chewy, and sweet from the wheat.
Nowadays, in Zhengzhou, there are not many steamed bun restaurants where you can find your own flaky cake. Through the transparent glass window, you can see the whole process of the master making the cake. Knead the dough and roll the flowers, and make it all in one go. The cake should be burned to nine ripeness, so that the steamed bun will have a soft and fragrant taste. The baked cakes are larger than the washbasin, and before eating, they are cut into evenly packed pieces by machine.
In addition to the homemade cakes in the store, the amount of meat in the steamed bun is also very pleasing. Take the bowl we ate, for example, there are four or five large and thick slices of meat in a bowl of steamed buns. Pick up a slice and stuff it into your mouth, the meat is rotten and mellow, and when you chew it in a big mouth, a sense of satisfaction will suddenly arise.
The taste of the steamed bun is mellow, and it is inseparable from the skill of boiling the soup. Listening to the master, their family's soup is made of beef and mutton mixed soup, adding some beef loin oil, the aroma is multiplied. For the taste, the oversized packets are placed directly into the pot. It is said that the cost of this material alone is two or three hundred yuan, and once the meat is cooked, it must be exchanged for a package. However, it may also be because the use of "material" is too strong, and the taste of the soup base has somewhat robbed the limelight of bone broth.

The environment has nothing to say, and it is also remarkable in the service area. A bowl of steamed buns, if you feel that there is not enough to eat, you can add soup and steamed buns for free. If you really want to eat two more slices of meat, as long as you open your mouth, the boss will not let you go home empty-handed. (But to be moderate, although the boss is simple, but people do small business ah!) ）

7.5 points
There are about seven or eight kinds of steamed buns in the store, and the price is between 23-26 yuan. Some diners say that in Zhengzhou, eating a bowl of braised noodles is only a dozen yuan, and the price of other steamed steamed buns is also more than 20 yuan. The bowl here is not large, regardless of the subsequent steamed buns, the price is slightly high.
Overall, this bowl of steamed buns, whether it is the taste of the steamed buns or the ingredients, is a hard work. In terms of details, it is also worthy of the title of the top three. In addition to regular steamed buns, there are also water basin series. If you want, you can also experience the fun of breaking your own steamed buns, and maybe you can still find the feeling of being in Xi'an. The combined score is 7.5. (Only for the quality of the product on the day, the evaluation standard is 10 points out of 10)
