Yunnan Road Food Street will not be unfamiliar to every old Shanghainese. As a food street in the magic capital, there are many long-established foods here, such as the white chopped chicken in Xiao Shaoxing, the fresh meat fried in the big pot spring, and the beef fried bun of Hong Changxing, which are the unforgettable food memories of many people when they were young!
Located at 36 Yunnan South Road, this long-established brand was founded in 1921 and has a history of 100 years. This shop is famous for its rib rice cakes and is known as the "King of Rib Rice Cakes". Rib rice cake is the favorite of many Shanghainese, decades ago, come to this old brand to eat a guest rib rice cake, is a high force thing, crispy golden ribs, snow white soft glutinous rice cake, and then drizzled with sweet sauce, eat a bite, is simply no friends! Nowadays, although the society is extremely rich in materials and all kinds of food are everywhere, many people will often come here to relieve their addiction and recall the taste of that year.
This long-established brand has two floors, the decoration is passable, the store layout and display are very distinctive, square tables and wooden chairs, and there are many inscriptions hanging on the walls. There are also several self-service ordering machines on the first floor, and it seems that long-established state-owned enterprises are also keeping pace with the times! But the service attitude is very general, the aunt who ordered food at the door has a particularly fierce expression, the tone is also quite impatient, and the second half price will not remind you, and there is almost no service to speak of. It is completely different from the smiling and amiable appearance of the old aunt in Shanghai before.
There are several rib rice cake sets to choose from, as well as quail, skewers, spring rolls, a variety of pasta and side dishes. The most basic pork rib rice cake is 15 yuan a guest, which has two pieces of rice cake and a piece of ribs, which looks like it is OK, the ribs are golden in color, but it is very thin, and there is some gap with the impression of more than ten years ago, and it feels smaller than a circle. The ribs are a small piece, not the thickly cut one. The outer wrapped powder is very thick, and the outer skin is crispy after frying, but it is actually all seasoned by this layer of flour. The biggest failure is the rice cake, which is very thin, and the rice cake in the past is more than twice as wide as the current one. And the rice cake is not sticky at all, the taste is also very light, especially unpalatable, that is, simply boiled in water, and then dipped in some sauce, eat in the mouth is not fragrant at all.
The meat skewers are tenderloin, a little salty, the onion oil mix noodles are not bad, the open ocean is clearly visible, the onion oil flavor is strong, and the noodles are not very oily after mixing well. The single-grade soup is a blind bag plus a water tendon stuffed meat, not much meat, and the soup is added with fresh spicy powder. The borscht is filled with tomato sauce, carrots, cabbage, and red sausages cut into small pieces, which is quite thick. Spicy sauce noodles are a traditional Shanghainese flavor, and the noodle soup is slightly lighter, but it is just right to eat with hot sauce. The business of this shop is really good, halfway through the meal, there are already diners standing on the side waiting, and there is always an influx of customers at dinner time. The charm of the century-old brand attracts many old Shanghainese and countless foreign diners every day, but the taste is really not how good, compared with the past has been far away!
