Chapter 146: A Dream Come True

Steamed tangerine peel beef patty, tangerine peel and ground beef add starch and steam. The minced meat is tender, and the tangerine peel is greasy, and it is generally decent, barely a star-rated restaurant-level dish.

The more Johnson ate, the more disappointed he became, until the stewed official swallow in coconut milk was served, the official swallow was out of the limelight, the amount was very sufficient, and the coconut milk was fragrant and smooth. When you close your eyes, you will see the fresh and wonderful taste lingering in your mouth......

Although 899 a bowl

Longjing chrysanthemum smoked pigeon, looming Longjing and chrysanthemum two kinds of tea bring a unique smoky taste, the pigeon skin is extremely crispy, and the meat is soft and tender.

The puff pastry and tenderness of the meat are reminiscent of crispy chicken, but with a hint of ethereal tea. If you don't even taste it carefully, it's fleeting......

Stir-fried clams with spicy sauce paste in the nine-story tower, the aroma of the nine-story tower, plus the sweet and spicy taste of the chili paste. Served with fresh sea clams, it is full of flavor in the mouth, mixed with the taste of some kind of magical brisket.

It may be that the chef adds oxtail soup when stir-frying to bring another layer of mellow aroma.

Steamed crab with Chencun noodles, just served with the aroma of wine, the waiter said to mix with Huang Chengcheng chicken oil carving juice.

Take a bite, the homemade Chen Cun noodles are not as elastic as imagined, and the powders are slightly sticky, but with the delicious and salty Huadiao juice, there is a special taste in my heart......

Eighteen flavored soy sauce chicken, a must-order at every table, with local three yellow live chicken in the New Territories. Dip in a soy sauce made with peppercorns, cloves, cardamom and star anise.

In order to keep the taste tender, even deliberately retain a trace of earthy smell, and taste a strong Hong Kong flavor that traces back to the origin.

Mushrooms and mutton mushrooms are stewed with tofu skin, and the mutton mushrooms are fresh and tender without sand and stones, and the quality is good. It is said that the mille-feuille bean curd was purchased from a time-honored store and has a strong bean aroma. The tofu skin absorbs the deliciousness of the two kinds of mushrooms, and makes the flavor of a vegetarian meal a thickness of a hundred turns......

Later I learned that if guests don't want to eat on the menu, they can try to make some personal requests to the waiter. If the kitchen has ingredients, the chef can cook them even if the menu is not available.

Putting down the chopsticks, in addition to the service, the rest is decent, and it seems that the taste of Chinese food is more demanding. Maybe it's because I've been exposed to it since I was a child, and I'm already familiar with the way many flavors are presented.

Therefore, when you eat it, you only feel familiar, ordinary, and there are no surprises, and it is rare to have a feeling of brightness. Therefore, the evaluation requirements for Chinese restaurants often increase unconsciously.

There are few guests, so I called the lobby manager to chat, and I heard that today's chef is called Chen Youliang, who actually made a living by boxing thirty years ago?

So his motto is: Cooking is like boxing, pay attention to knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent!

Watching him stir-fry is a bit like watching a boxing, a scoop of oil goes down, the flames are three feet straight, the pot jumps and the vegetables jump, the movements are one after another, rapid and capable.

In just a few minutes, the crispy and tender dish is already in the flavor and served on the plate. It depends not only on experience, but also on the right emotions, inspiration, feel, etc.

started from the lotus of transporting ingredients, to today serving as the chef of FLM, and even the gambling king, Cheng Kar-chun, and Ho Shanheng have invited him to host the family banquet by name.

proudly took out an old book, storing the old menu from ten or twenty years ago. Through the hazy paper, names can be faintly seen: Hang Seng Bank founder He Tian, Asian sugar king Guo Henian, Wing Lung Bank Wu Yisun, richest man Li Ka-shing, gambling king Stanley Ho......

The charm of Cantonese cuisine lies in the authenticity, even if diners are blindfolded, they can still eat what kind of food. Cantonese cuisine is well done, one talks about craftsmanship, and the other asks about ingredients. It takes time and place of origin.

Do not pursue appearance, refuse to carve with the disc. Whether it is a cage of shrimp dumplings or a plate of fried wings, they are served together after they are done, and the coriander and carrot flowers are all not served.

The broth must be made with more than four catties of old chicken, red spleen, and Jinhua ham to remove the bones and fat, and the part that can produce the greatest umami in the middle of the hind leg should be boiled over low heat for eight hours.

Chicken dishes must be made of Sanhuang free-range chicken, the skin is not fat, the meat is firm to taste, at least 120 days, the subcutaneous fat is enough, and the oil is poured after drying, and the crispy skin is invincible.

For example, the mushroom and sheep mushroom stewed curd skin just now is a variation of Huadiao chicken, which used to use aged mushrooms, but after accidentally tasting morels, it triggered inspiration. It has a unique smell that gives the whole dish a rich mushroom flavor that leaves a lingering aroma on the teeth and cheeks.

There's no way, the time-honored brand just has a kind of self-confidence!

When I went back to the hotel, I called Mr. Cai Lan, which was the main purpose of coming to Hong Kong Island. One of the four great talents on Hong Kong Island in the last century, Jin Yong's evaluation of his long-time friend Cai Lan is: a truly chic person.

What kind of person can be regarded as chic? Jin Yong used his own character as an analogy, that is, Ling Hu Chong, not Guo Jing or Qiao Feng.

is Jin Yong's excellent travel companion, with a frank and free temperament, a relaxed and lively attitude, and always laughs at the unpleasantness of the journey.

Don't complain about the unpalatable food, don't complain that the car is too bumpy, but teach Jin Yong how to drink the lowest and spicy Italian wine, and how to suck the beef bone marrow in the food stalls.

Knowledgeable, knows a lot, and is well-connected, with boyfriends and girlfriends all over the world. Before Jin Yong had a heart attack, one of the great joys of life was to drink whiskey and smoke cigarettes with Cai Lan.

Can eat, know how to drink, and can play.

and Jin Yong, Ni Kuang, and Huang Zhan are known as the four great talents, but he likes another title the most:

Living Home!

SC Johnson is a die-hard fan, having bought all of his idol's books and read every interview. Especially this year, Lu Yu came to interview Mr. Cai, and took her to the vegetable market, eating authentic food stalls, envy, jealousy and hatred......

even affects his entire three views, what does it mean to be chic?

Live like Cai Lan,

It's called life!

I got an affirmative answer, and I'll see you tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, and I'm very excited. Take out the specially prepared boutique Bordeaux, knowing that the old man likes to drink, it is a meeting gift.

I got up at six o'clock the next day, cleaned up, and came to the appointed place early, looking forward to the appearance of the idol.

Just after eight o'clock, I saw a familiar figure walking over slowly, with a crane hair and a childish face, a white Tang suit, and a yellow cloth bag on his shoulder.

Hurriedly ran over, a little excited: "Mr. Cai, hello, I'm Johnson." ”

"Okay, okay, talk as you go!" Cai Lan smiled kindly, patted Johnson on the shoulder, and pulled him to talk as he walked.

Johnson was a little nervous, remembered the lines he had prepared, and said tentatively: "Are we going to the vegetable market?"

"Hahaha, yes, it seems that I have done my homework?" Cai Lan smiled: "There are friends from afar, as long as time permits, I like to take them to the vegetable market, after all, ......"

"If you want to know a city, go to their vegetable market!" Johnson couldn't help but answer: "Mr. Chen said that you like to visit the vegetable market the most." ”

Cai Lan laughed, he had a good impression of Johnson, and the two chatted while walking, and walked towards the vegetable market.

Don't look at the old man, he is almost eighty, his legs and feet are very sharp, and he even reminds Johnson to pay attention to safety when crossing the street. When he came to the vegetable market, he sighed: "I usually like to cook, so I have a soft spot for the vegetable market, and I often take customers to walk around, so that I can learn more about Hong Kong Island." ”

"Because there is no whitewashed prosperity and leveling here, there is only the most real and fresh taste of radish and cabbage, which is the original life of the citizens. ”
