Chapter 65 Zhang Xiaochu Food Review (1)
Thanks to the ape-man Ah Xing for the tip~~~
........................
Zhang Bufan didn't know how long "Rose Aftertaste" was filmed, anyway, Tong Liya, as the protagonist, told Zhang Bufan early that she was liberated.
Her schedule is very tight, originally the filming of a TV series was followed by the end of the movie, but because the filming was too fast, the TV series crew over there had not yet fully prepared, and she rarely had a short vacation.
Zhang Bufan thought about it, you have nothing to do anyway, why don't you go to Taiwan Island with me to participate in the Golden Horse Awards?
As a result, the girl was unhappy, and I didn't have any works selected for the Golden Horse Awards, what are I going to do?
Zhang Bufan was a little embarrassed, what is the point of rubbing the red carpet......? Ahem, it just depends on how free you are, so go to Taiwan Island to have a round and relax.
Tong Liya finally refused, telling Zhang Bufan, I still don't want it, I always feel a little strange, or wait for me to become famous, the movie I participated in won the award, and I will take you to the film festival when the time comes.
Zhang Bufan: ???
Isn't that surprising?
In the end, Zhang Bufan went alone.
is not a person, after all, this is a "business matter", so Zhang Bufan followed the crew of "Bullfighting", and the crew not only covered all the expenses of his round-trip air ticket and hotel stay, but also helped him buy two suits.
Originally, he was going to prepare it himself, but he was rejected by Guan Hu, in Guan Hu's original words, as far as your aesthetics are concerned, I am afraid of losing the suit you bought and the people of the crew.
It's a little hurtful, but people are willing to spend money on you, what else is there to say?
The specific date of the Golden Horse Awards has been determined, November 28, and Zhang Bufan followed the crew of "Bullfighting" and arrived on Taiwan Island a week ahead of schedule.
As a movie that has received a full 7 nominations and is a favorite to win several major awards, the media on Taiwan Island have already made an appointment for an interview.
Of course, it was Guan Hu and Huang Bo who were interviewed, and Zhang Bufan went to play.
Guan Hu wanted him to participate in the interview, but he refused, in his words, "I'm not ready".
In Guan Hu's words, it is "this grandson is hypocritical".
In the end, Guan Hu didn't make it difficult for him.
Taiwan Island is the largest island in China and the 38th largest island in the world, with a total area of 36,193 square kilometers and a total population of about 20 million.
That's right, with such a large island, the population is about the same as that of the capital.
Beishi, the host of the Golden Horse Awards, is the political, economic, cultural, tourism, industrial and commercial center of Taiwan Island, and it is also the most densely populated city on Taiwan Island, with more than one-tenth of the population of the entire Taiwan Island concentrated here.
When I arrived in Beishi, the crew separated after checking into the hotel, Guan Hu took the other main creators to prepare for the next interview, while Zhang Bufan went out to play by himself with his backpack.
Said to go out to play, in fact, it is a foraging trip, he is not interested in any attractions or other things at all, in the capital for so many years, but he has not even played all the attractions in the capital, but he has almost visited all the famous restaurants and stalls in the capital.
And when he finally came to Taiwan Island, he certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity to experience different cuisines.
Holding his four-star I8910 and following the food strategy prepared in advance, Zhang Bufan went all the way to Din Tai Fung located in Beishi 101 Shopping Center.
This store was founded in 72 years, and in more than 30 years, branches have been opened all over the world, and in 93 years, it was selected as "one of the top ten gourmet restaurants in the world" by the New York Times in the United States, and it is also one of the must-see places in North City.
Zhang Bufan went relatively early, and the locals in Beishi had not yet gotten off work, but Din Tai Fung was still overcrowded, all of them were foreign tourists, and after queuing for more than 20 minutes, they finally had a seat.
Zhang Bufan was not polite, and ordered the signature xiaolongbao, crab roe xiaolongbao and truffle xiaolongbao in one go, plus a bowl of wonton noodles.
The food was served very quickly, and in less than five minutes, everything was ready.
Zhang Bufan was not in a hurry to eat, and first took out his mobile phone - taking pictures and posting on Weibo, which is a habit he has recently developed under Tong Liya's smoked pottery.
first took a panoramic view, and then took a few steamed buns one by one, and posted them all on Weibo, which is called "Little Chef of a Small Restaurant" like his blog name, and also took Tong Liya with ease, and finally started eating.
First picked up a signature xiaolongbao, did not dip it in vinegar, threw it directly into his mouth, chewed two bites, and frowned slightly.
The taste is good, but it is only good, not as exaggerated as it is blown on the Internet, and it is even less compatible with the world's top ten food restaurants, this is Zhang Bufan's feeling from the perspective of an ordinary diner.
And from a chef's point of view......
The skin of the bun is not thin enough, the tendons in the filling are not all cut, and the taste is very affected when chewed, and there is too much fat in the filling, resulting in the soup in the bun is a little greasy, and the overall seasoning of the filling is a little light, which makes the greasy soup more prominent.
Grab another crab roe xiaolongbao and throw it into your mouth.
There is too little crab roe and too many other ingredients, and the seasoning of the ingredients completely masks the aroma of the crab roe.
Finally, there is the truffle xiaolongbao.
The taste of truffles is unique, not everyone can accept it, and the taste of this bun does not know how to adjust, which actually highlights this taste even more.
After tasting it on the last lap, it turned out to be the bowl of wonton noodles that tasted the best, but there was also a problem, the noodles were too soft and rotten.
Zhang Bufan didn't taste it anymore, hurriedly finished eating, took out his mobile phone and opened Weibo, and sure enough, Tong Liya had already replied to him.
"It looks very good, how does it taste? Tell me honestly!" followed by a small expression, just a small round face, two small fists propped up on the side of the face, small brows furrowed, two big eyes watery, pitiful.
Zhang Bufan simply posted a new Weibo.
"Din Tai Fengmei Food Review, total score 10 points, 1, signature xiaolongbao, 5 points, reviews, the taste is generally slightly light, the soup is a little greasy, and the bun skin is too thick. ”
"2, crab roe xiaolongbao, 5 points, comments, there is too little crab roe, and the fragrance is suppressed by other materials. ”
"3, truffle xiaolongbao, 0 or 10 points, reviews, truffle taste explosion, love love to death hate to death. ”
"4, wonton noodles, 6 points, reviews, the taste of the soup is excellent, mellow but not greasy, but the noodles are too soft and rotten, and there is no chewiness at all. ”
"5 out of all, failing, a little disappointed, a little bit of a gap with the legendary top 10 gourmet restaurants in the world, well, a bit bit of a gap with what I did. ”
Because of the word limit, it was also divided into two Weibos, and in the end, I didn't forget to add a smug expression and Aite Tong Liya.
After posting Weibo, as soon as the mobile phone was collected, the payment was paid and left.
This is just the first stop of his trip to the North Market, although he is a little disappointed, but he can't be affected, his stomach still has a lot of empty space, and there is still the next stop waiting for him.
