It is relatively rare for Hunan restaurants to be named after dishes, because although such a name can maximize the publicity of the signature dish, it undoubtedly limits the restaurant's fame to a single dish, restricting the further development of the restaurant. Chef Li's crispy belly is such a Hunan restaurant, which takes the famous dish "Chef Li's crispy belly" in Zhangjiajie as the name of its restaurant, and has accumulated a lot of fame in the Shenzhen foodie industry with this signature dish, and has become a must-visit place for diners who love crispy belly.
Chef Li's signature dish of crispy belly is available in both quantity and spiciness, and the pork belly has been processed through at least six processes, removing most of the fat inside, and then stir-fried and added to the old soup to taste the pork belly to maintain its crisp and elastic taste. The old soup is carefully simmered with old hens, pig's knuckles, barrel bones and a variety of ingredients, with bright color and fragrance. When it is finally served, the white crispy belly and bamboo shoots are crispy and refreshing, and the milky white soup is clear and flavorful. When eating crispy belly, remember to follow the order summarized by the old driver - drink thick soup, eat bamboo shoots, and eat crispy belly.
However, Chef Li's crispy belly seems to have been more intoxicated with the high reputation brought to it by the signature dishes, although he has opened four restaurants in Shenzhen, but has never been greatly improved in the dining environment and service that has been criticized more, and still maintains the style of food stalls, the overall dining environment is relatively simple, noisy, and the service attitude is average.
Due to the popularity of the meal, there may be a queue for the meal, so it is best to make a reservation in advance.
