The well-known Hunan restaurant in Shenzhen, the boss (Mao Dad) was indeed born as a private chef at first, and after becoming famous, he had his own shop. Although it is not a high-end restaurant, the owner is very hospitable, and the proclamation "There is no God here, only friends" on the storefront is widely recited among local food lovers. The niche (although it is full every day) and the attitude (and some people dismiss it as disrespectful) make this small shop that originated in the agricultural science center (now moved to Xiangmihu) popular with major food marketing accounts.
After several relocations, the environment of Mao Dad has been greatly improved, the farmhouse of Xiangmihu Store has outstanding taste, and the area is quite large, the seats are spacious, and the fly restaurant is not the same as the back then, and even has a small courtyard, and the open-air design adds more style. Interestingly, the entrance is full of photos of Mao Dad and friends from all walks of life, which adds a bit of Jianghu atmosphere to the image of Mao Dad on the signboard.
The biggest feature of the restaurant is that there is no fixed menu, and you need to consult your aunt about the dishes of the day before the ingredients are released, which has the advantage that you can independently match the ingredients within a certain range and adjust the taste according to the customer's situation, but it also causes a lot of difficulties in ordering for customers. In any case, Mao Dad has a few hard dishes that are very popular, and the production is also guaranteed. First of all, the fish tail is a medium-sized fish tail with chopped pepper and dried chili peppers, which are full of collagen without fish bones, and the slightly spicy flavor brings out the freshness and smoothness of the fish tail. This dish is extremely sought-after and can sell out in just one night. For the small fried pork that is almost a representative of Hunan cuisine, Mao Daddy uses yellow beef with crushed chili, the spicy taste arouses appetite, and does not completely cover the aroma of the meat, and the salty and fragrant diced meat is very chewy, which is first-class for rice. Another famous Hunan dish, steamed bacon, is authentic: the handmade bacon in the hometown is fat and thin, and the fat is released after steaming, but it has a refreshing taste; The shredded pickles on the base absorb the aroma of bacon, and it takes several bowls of rice to satisfy. (In the process of natural air drying, Hunan bacon sausage will be put into the smoked materials such as grain bran, tea shell, fruit shell, etc., sealed and smoked, and the firewood smoke used in traditional farmhouses will also release a special woody fragrance.) These aromas give Hunan lap-mei the smoky taste of Cantonese-style lap-mei, of course, whether this is "fragrant for ten miles" or "strange taste is difficult to hide", it all depends on personal taste. ）
In addition, Mao Daddy also has a lot of non-fixed dishes, which requires on-site communication with the staff, and they will also give timely suggestions for the taste of customers, which is also one of the fun of choosing Mao Dad. It is worth mentioning that Mao Dad's dishes are large, and if you want to try more dishes, it is best to invite a few friends to go together. After all, friendship is the main emotion of this restaurant.
