In the new year, Xiaobian will take you to eat a plate of fried cakes and rice dumplings
A cold air of hin frozen people accompanied the cotton lake people to spend a very unforgettable New Year's Eve, and the cold weather made people more eager for the comfort of food.
Kway teows, handmade noodles, dumplings, intestinal powder... Everything stirs Xiaobian's stomach, and as a patient with difficult choice, Xiaobian is stuck in a moment of difficult choice. Fortunately, an enthusiastic netizen appeared in time to point out the confusion and positioned the taste of cotton lake to the plate of "fried cake kway" on "Garden Road".
So early in the morning of the first day of 2021, Xiaobian rode a small electric donkey to forage for food on Garden Road!
It may be unfavorable to the teacher, or it may be that the food and we play the game of "peek-a-boo", walk around the garden road several times, and have not found the "fried cake and kon" shop that netizens say.
Sent a message again to ask netizens to get the two keywords of "bungalow" and "dark dark", and then with the sensitive sense of smell of the editor, finally found this legendary fried cake shop.
There is no loud signboard, no exquisite decoration, the stove occupies most of the façade, if there is no recommendation, Xiaobian really can't see that this is a restaurant.
Against the backdrop of sunlight, the shop was so dark that not a single light was turned on
Fortunately, the sun does not hesitate to emit its own light, and a few rays of light are projected through a few tile-less holes in the roof, so that the store will not reach out and miss five fingers.
There are not many ingredients sold in the store, only two staple foods of fried koi strips and fried cake kway teow, and the ingredients are kale, pork, beef, eggs, squid, etc., all placed in a conspicuous position, and the price is open and transparent.
It is reported that this store has been open for more than 20 years, initially operating at the intersection of Xingzhong Road, and then moved to Huayuan Road, relying on word of mouth, slowly accumulating a group of familiar customers.
- Auntie, ask for a bowl of stir-fried cake and rice dumplings, plus beef and eggs.
Ordering food goes straight to the theme, and then it's all about the "performance" of the owner and his wife.
Stir-frying a high-quality cake is time-consuming and laborious, and it is also particularly hot. The owner and his wife worked together, the aunt first fried the cake until it was soft, and then handed it to the uncle for further "processing", adding shacha sauce, kale, beef, black soy sauce... More than 20 years of cooperation have cultivated a tacit understanding, and also injected another charm into this cake.
The cake and kway teow oil in the dingli made a noise, and the uncle skillfully flipped them with a spatula, scooping in cooking oil and black soy sauce from time to time. Suddenly, Xiaobian found that the spatula used by the uncle was somewhat different, shorter than usual.
- Boss, did this spatula look like this on purpose?
- I didn't get it on purpose, I folded it when I fried it, and I continued to use it when I took it.
Even if the tools are broken and the light is dim, skilled craftsmen like their bosses can still show extraordinary cooking skills. After waiting for a while, the cake was on the table, before coming, Xiaobian was full of expectations for the fried cake and rice, and immediately opened to eat after taking photos!
Sniffing lightly, the aroma of kale and beef accompanied by some faint rice milk aroma blows through the nasal cavity, stimulating the stomach that has already grunted, sandwiching a piece of cake inlet, the outside is tender and tender, the aroma is overflowing, soft and sticky is very full; the kale is crisp and refreshing, the beef is soft and tender... Every bite is happiness and satisfaction.
In our editing process, the owner and his wife never stopped their work, and plate after plate of hot fried cakes and fried rice sticks were delivered to customers in an orderly manner, or packed or dined in. This seemingly simple dish is full of the warmth and sincerity of the old store.
In the blossoming food shops, there is always one that can capture your heart, how much of this stir-fried cake is the precious warmth of the ordinary years in the neighborhood?
Tips
Per capita consumption: from 10 yuan (abundant and thrifty by person)
Business hours: 11:00-13:30, 21:00-24:00
Food address: Near the gate of the village on Garden Road in Mianhu Town
Xiao Bian ordered a cake with beef and eggs, a total of sixteen yuan, the price and taste are similar to fried kun. However, the cake is thick, the taste is soft and sticky, the lack of place is not enough into the taste, and when stir-frying put too much oil, it is recommended to eat it while hot, it will be very greasy to cool!!!
