This restaurant on Yunnan Road was founded in 1943, with a history of nearly 80 years, and it is also a century-old brand. "Speaking of white chopped chicken, just count the small Shaoxing" this sentence has become a mantra of Shanghainese, this store can be said to be sought after by generations in Shanghai, the older generation of Shanghainese has always been called the white chopped chicken of its family, and most of the bustling passenger flow every day is directed at this dish. I heard that at the end of the year, the yunnan road food street will be demolished, and I came to punch the clock with a feeling for a century-old brand, and the result was very disappointing.
The so-called old shop, don't mention what service, most of them are self-service, the waiter in addition to the cashier of the big sister when receiving money a little smile, most of them are expressionless, ask what to ignore, want what to do with it. However, the business is still as hot as ever, basically every day diners burst, meals and other seats, table sharing is inevitable, everyone looks at each other to share the table, grab the table, the whole management is simply speechless, waiting for the seat of the people in a mess, conspiring to grab the seat, one by one fiercely guarding the customers who have not finished eating, afraid of being robbed of the position by others, the whole is like the animal world.
The white chopped chicken is cut in advance, and a pot is placed there, and the oil can be brushed directly on it before it is brought out. Tang eat is 49 yuan a pound, this price is not expensive, but the taste is not as good as before, chicken eating mouth without a little umami, meat is a lifeless feeling, the taste is very chai, the entrance is very greasy, even if the chicken leg part is not stimulated. The sauce with it is also very difficult to eat, and the soy sauce at home does not taste good, and it becomes cloudy without dipping a few sauce dishes. The knifeman also does not see the glory of the past, and the presentation is very low and clumsy.
Chicken porridge 3 yuan a bowl, the consistency of the bottom of the porridge is still passable, but in the end it is not a bowl of delicious chicken porridge, basically it is just white porridge, and there is no taste of chicken at all. Special chicken bone sauce noodles 15 yuan a bowl, up a layer of red spicy oil to see stupid, is my memory biased, as if it was not so spicy before! And there is more chicken than bone in it, is it too rich? But the noodles themselves are OK, not hard or soft, but that's all, it's still a bowl of noodles with no appetite! Spring rolls are also no longer the taste of the past, very oily, the dough is very thick, I feel that any breakfast restaurant is better than this.
The taste of this century-old brand can be said to be a year worse than a year, which is also a common disease of many old brands! How many once evocative delicacies, but can not withstand the passage of time, only sighed, this place has gone west with the deceased, only the remaining soup has become a broken chapter... Looking around, there are many uncles who are still eating with relish, and I don't know if they are eating the same taste as before!
