Janet Yellen is the current U.S. Secretary of the Treasury and the first female Treasury Secretary in U.S. history. The 77-year-old lady recently visited China, and what people didn't expect was that the first thing to rush to the hot search was the menu of Yellen's first meal during her visit to China.
In a previous interview with the American media, Yellen mentioned that she hopes to enhance the interaction with people from different countries through food and local restaurants. It can be seen from this that Yellen is still an out-and-out "foodie".
Judging from the information released by the media, the first meal Yellen ate during her visit to China was the famous time-honored Chinese restaurant, Tao Taoju, which specializes in Cantonese cuisine. This restaurant was founded in 1880 during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 100 years. It is said that Lu Xun and Ba Jin were both diners of Tao Taoju.
For the first meal of this visit to China, Yellen ordered a total of 16 dishes, which were very hearty, most of which were Tao Taoju's classic dishes.
2 tapas
1. Fungus okra: Before the start of Chinese food, some small cold dishes are generally served as appetizers, and this fungus okra belongs to cold vegetables. However, what I'm more curious about is that okra tastes slippery and has a special flavor, I wonder if Yellen is used to eating it?
2. Appetizing cucumber: People in Guangzhou, Guangxi and Guangxi are accustomed to calling cucumbers "cucumbers", which can be eaten as vegetables or fruits, focusing on a refreshing appetizer.
8 main dishes
3. Tao Taoju's century-old roast goose: It can be seen from the name and order of the dish that this dish must be Tao Taoju's trump card. In Cantonese restaurants like these, the roast goose is usually freshly grilled and made with an exclusive secret sauce that is sure to make Yellen salivate.
4. Gold Medal Secret Char Siu: When eating Cantonese cuisine, in addition to roast goose is a must-order dish, barbecued pork is also a dish with a high demand. According to diners who have eaten this dish, the barbecued pork belongs to the restaurant's must-order series, which is moderately salty and sweet, and when drizzled with honey, the taste is a must!
5. Chilled Gollum Pork: The recipe for Gollum Pork is similar to sweet and sour pork ribs, but tenderloin is generally used. This dish is an innovation in the practice of ordinary grunt meat, and the meat is placed under ice cubes, looming, and the appearance is super high.
6. A bite of crispy tofu: The main material used is Japanese tofu, which has been fried, which tastes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and is also served with a special sweet and sour sauce, which is also a new way to eat tofu.
7. Oil-soaked grouper: Oil-soaked grouper: Grouper, also known as gentian grouper, is a very precious fish species and tastes better than ordinary grouper. Such an expensive ingredient, and after the hands of a famous chef in a century-old restaurant, the product must be not bad.
8. Casserole mushroom pot: It is said that a variety of mushroom ingredients are used in it, such as seafood mushrooms, fresh shiitake mushrooms, Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, etc., and they are also decorated with snow peas, which can be imagined how delicious it is.
9. Dry fried beef river: Beef fried pho is also a classic in Cantonese cuisine, there are dry fried and wet fried, dry fried does not need to be thickened, wet fried to cook the powder first, add seasoning and then thicken with cornstarch.
10. Choy sum soaked in mountain spring water: Choy sum is a green leafy vegetable that often appears in Cantonese cuisine, and this dish uses the most tender section of the cabbage heart, which tastes sweet and delicious, and the good ingredients are the original taste.
6 Way Dim Sum
11. Taotaoju prawn dumplings: a common dim sum variety in Cantonese morning tea, Taotaoju prawn dumplings in a cage of three, and the filling is fresh shrimp meat, which is the top grade in the shrimp dumplings.
12. Smooth grape tart in the open furnace: the shape is not the same as the general egg tart, the size is higher, it belongs to the high-barrel grape tart, so there will be more fillings in it, and a lower stomach is equivalent to eating several ordinary small egg tarts.
13. Splendid seafood red rice sausage: It is a kind of rice noodles, because the raw materials are added to the red yeast powder, the skin looks red, and the seafood is added to this red rice sausage, which must be fresher to eat.
14. Pan-fried radish cake: It is a common pastry in the southern part of the mainland by adding shredded radish and other ingredients to the rice flour batter, and then steaming, frying and other processes.
15. Guifei Egg Powder: Egg Powder is a snack from a snack to a large snack in Guangdong, with a taste like Shaqima, which tastes crispy and sweet, and is drizzled with osmanthus nectar.
16. Shunde Daliang Double Skin Milk: Double skin milk is the most famous in Shunde, Guangdong, and the use of ordinary milk is not ordinary milk, but buffalo milk with a stronger milk flavor, which is just right to eat after meals.
The above 16 dishes are all classics in Cantonese cuisine, I don't know if there is any greed for you? It is said that the total price of this table is about 1,000 yuan, I think the overall is acceptable, I don't know how much Treasury Secretary Yellen will score? Which of the above dishes do you like the most? Welcome to comment and leave a message!
