Tao Ranju started the family dish - spicy field snail
Chongqing Taoranju is a Chongqing girl named Yan Qi in the 1990s in Chongqing Baishiyi by five tables to build jiangshan, which lasted 20 years to become one of the top ten catering enterprises in the country. Specifically is not the top ten, this is not the main point of this article, today went to Tao Ranju when Yan Qi started the old shop to eat, one is because just went there to do things, the other is also admired to come, the heart is still unlimited expectations.
This is actually not the first time I ate in Taoranju, in 2000 I ate in Taoranju Chengdu's shop, when it was a friend from Chongqing who went to Chengdu and wanted to eat Taoranju, the dishes at that time are now vaguely remembered, but the impression is still good, the store is clean, the dishes are refreshing, leaving a good impression.
Tao Ranju entrepreneurship old shop, the store is not large, antique
Admired to TaoRanju entrepreneurship old shop, indeed the store is not large, the parking space that can be accommodated at the door is also extremely limited, the store on the first floor should be the place to eat at the beginning, and now there are not a few tables, and most of the guests are arranged to eat on the second or third floor.
TaoRanju menu on the menu is not a lot of dishes to order, most of them are their specialties, this is a good thing, the specialty restaurant provides exclusive specialties, most of the guests are also rushing to the specialties, but after I ate this meal today, I was really disappointed in Taoranju's dishes, it can be said that they are very dissatisfied with their dishes.
There are a few tables in the store on the first floor, but at the same time, they also serve as a passage upstairs, which is very cramped
Ordering, the waiter was recording, and the flat-headed brother with glasses suddenly broke into the picture
The old shop is square, simple and elegant, but also gives a good impression, we are many, to the upstairs to start ordering. Tao Ranju's specialties are almost all ordered, the dishes are out quickly, and after a while, the dishes have come up one after another.
Cold mix folded ear roots
White City Stagecoach Duck
Plate duck
Cold mix kudzu powder
Couple lung tablets
Burn white
This is a few dishes that come up almost at the same time, folding ear root does not say, this is the cold mixed dish that Chongqing people must order to eat, although it is bitter, but there is a special fragrance, no matter how it is now said that folded ear root will cause cancer, but Chongqing people are still reluctant to give up their love for folded ear root.
Speaking of the dissatisfaction with Tao Ranju, this first point, almost no freshly made dishes, most of them are prepared cauldron dishes, each guest ordered this dish on a plate or a bowl or a pot, some are the stove low fire continuous heat on the sprinkle a little onion directly on the table, some need to add a bit of heat, such as this plate duck, microwave oven turn, or cage drawer inside the heat for a few minutes, this plate duck. Not knowing what chongqing locals think of this dish, I clipped a piece and it was difficult to swallow. This couple lung slice, when it was served, everyone was asking the waiter, what kind of dish is this, can not recognize. Husband and wife lung tablets, a famous Sichuan dish, are you doing this? That knife worker, never cut vegetables at this level, although the husband and wife lung slices are beef offal meat, but pay attention to the will be sliced into very thin slices, this Tao Ranju is really not exquisite, cow heart and lungs you cut into bench blocks, seasoning is not a little more, Chongqing dialect then you are skimmed off, but what kind of feelings do you not consider?
The roasted white or steamed is very sticky and thorough, and the taste is also very good, but the level of the bean blossom restaurant on the street is also comparable.
Panlong eel
Dough
Sticky
Post kiosk crucian carp
Dried cowpea pork knuckle soup
The burned pork feet have the state of tiger skin
Pig's feet
I thought that some dishes are cooked in a large pot after the guests ordered it directly on the heat, then there must be no such situation, single frying or single cooking should be there, right? But the result, is very disappointed, in addition to the ticket white and red amaranth is single fried, there are also rice dumplings and noodles, all the meat dishes are not a freshly made and single stir-fried single roast, are large pot dishes, heated up. This taste well, to be honest, compared to the size of Chongqing's kaiman city of jianghu restaurants is really inferior not a little bit, I don't know what Ms. Yan Qi, the founder of Taoranju, thinks?
There is also a dish that is not introduced, we want two portions of roasted white, there is their entrepreneurial dish - spicy snail, we also want two, it is said that Tao Ranju is based on this dish to establish the status of the jianghu, many people come to Baishiyi to eat their family's spicy field snail, at the peak of the day only spicy field snail can sell fifty or sixty thousand yuan, then we all come to see this Tao Ranju housekeeper dish!
Spicy field snails
This dish is not post-top, I put at the end to introduce, in terms of taste, this is definitely not a freshly cooked dish, snail meat does not have a little elasticity, is the kind of heating time is too long meat hair dry without elastic taste, I only ate one without a little interest to continue, if this dish can represent Tao Ranju's jianghu status, then maybe Yan Qi is not so burned to the guests to eat, the highest expectation is also this dish, the biggest disappointment is also this dish, the taste is dry, the soup is not that spicy, Old soup old oil soaked in oil slippery feeling for many days, if it is freshly made, then at least the sea pepper is fried crisp, at least the texture is still there, this sea pepper with chopsticks a press, all inelastic flat flat poured in the old oil soup, how many days have been soaked in the oil has been completely unknown. Recall the fried snails eaten on the streets of Nanjing, the street stalls, a small pot on the spot stir-fry, the snail meat sucked out of the mouth is spicy and spicy, the meat elasticity is good, chewy, fresh I believe everyone eats it. If tao ranju's spicy field snail is said to be such a practice today, then there will be no taoranju today, then what is wrong with the current spicy field snail, the store is big, and it does not pay attention to the feelings of customers? I still hope that Yan Qi can return to his original intention, pay attention to the experience of the guests, and return to the Taoranju cuisine and the original taste recognized by the diners.
In fact, this time Tao Ranju dining is not to say that there is no delicious dish, the rice dumplings are very good, then if the rice dumplings can represent Tao Ranju, I think Yan Qi will not agree, after all, Tao Ranju has Tao Ranju shakes the dishes of the jianghu, I hope to taste it as soon as possible!
I am completely ignorant of the history of Tao Ranju, but also in the introduction of the store to see, the evaluation of the dishes are all feelings, not necessarily correct, only represent personal views. #Eat in China #Eat in Chongqing # #吃心不改 #
