I go home and make it far from the store", "Your porridge is so thick, is it starched?"

Traditional craftsmanship creates signature delicacies
The steamed buns made by the traditional old fat noodles are fermented with the dough of the previous day as a "fat head", and after breakfast is closed every morning, the noodle chef begins to make the steamed bun noodles to be used the next morning, from 11 o'clock on the same day to 5 o'clock the next morning, after 18 hours of fermentation, the dough becomes soft and does not lose its tendon.
Compared with the rapid fermentation with baking powder, the steamed buns are softer and fluffier and full of aroma, and more and more customers are coming to taste them, which is why the store manager Cho Hae-jin firmly chooses to use traditional techniques to make noodles.
"More than ten years ago, I started to enter the catering industry, I used to cook Chinese food, and then I learned the traditional craft of making steamed buns, and opened this breakfast restaurant in June 2023. Nowadays, the competition in the catering industry is fierce, and only with good craftsmanship can we make a name for ourselves and retain customers. Zhao Haizhen said.

A bowl of red bean and eight-treasure porridge is 3 yuan, vegetarian buns are 2 yuan, and meat buns are 2.5 yuan...... Because of the good taste and affordable price, many residents in the neighborhood have become his family's "iron fans", among them, there is a cute little customer that makes the store manager Zhao Haizhen particularly impressed: "At the beginning, it was the parents who brought their children to eat, and then the children's grandmother came, this little man said, 'I will take you to a particularly delicious breakfast shop', and then brought his grandmother here, and the whole family became repeat customers! The presence of every old customer is the best affirmation of us."
According to Zhao Haizhen, there is an old customer in the nearby community as a decorator, every time he comes to eat while letting the clerk take away the steamed buns to be taken away, when in a hurry, too late to sit down to eat directly bought the buns just out of the cage, the old fat bread is still soft and not hard, many customers will buy a few more in the morning, take them back for lunch and dinner, with so many "iron fans" recognition and support, so that Zhao Haizhen in the catering industry has added more motivation to continue to move forward.
