In Guangzhou, it can be said that you can see one or two beef hot pot restaurants everywhere. This is probably due to the influence of the Chaoshan people, there are more Chaoshan people in Guangzhou, and it is also because of them, I don't know when it started, Guangzhou also rose a boom in beef hot pot. In some places with a high flow of people, you can basically see beef hot pot restaurants.
may be because this fresh beef hot pot is more popular, but the competition is relatively large, after all, there are more head brands now. So some people want to make some differentiation, so they have researched the beef hot pot with sour soup, and said that this is a way to eat from Guizhou, the main thing is an acidic and healthy, and the soup base is said to be fermented with tomatoes.
And just downstairs in our office, some time ago we opened such a Guizhou sour soup beef hot pot. Opposite him, it was a Chaoshan beef hot pot that had been open on our side for a year or two, and I couldn't understand what this boss thought, so I chose to work on the front side of the Chaoshan beef hot pot.
It may be that there are more Chaoshan people around, this Chaoshan beef hot pot business is still very good, we occasionally choose to go there for some gatherings, after all, most people in Guangdong prefer to eat light and fresh ingredients, and beef hot pot is just more suitable.
The newly opened Guizhou sour soup beef hot pot, when it opened, the activities were still relatively large, so I also tried it with my colleagues, and they also have the same freshly cut beef stall as Chaoshan beef hot pot, I don't feel much different, the only difference is the soup base. Then the other side dishes are still relatively close, but there are more snacks from Guizhou, such as folded ear roots.
It may be that I am used to eating light beef hot pot, but I am still a little unaccustomed to eating this sour soup for the first time, and I feel that I can't taste the umami of fresh beef. It has a uniform sour taste in the mouth. And the beef itself will be a little acidic, so the overall feeling is not particularly good. Maybe it's a matter of personal taste.
And when I went to work today, I found out that the sour soup beef hot pot that had just opened had already posted transfer information at the door, and it seemed that the business was not optimistic. And the one on the other side is really doing business, I have to say, such a gap is still relatively large, maybe it's really a problem of local taste, what do you say?
