The Chinese restaurant of Ningxia Guest House belongs to the Ningxia office in Shenzhen, with a small operating area and an age of more than 20 years. The restaurant is hidden in a garden community on the Great Wall and operates in a residential area. The guest house sign at the entrance of the unit is very low-key, and the entrance of the restaurant is only briefly marked by the words "Guest House Canteen" printed on A4 paper, which is reminiscent of a pyramid scheme if it were not for the constant smell of meat. Ningxia Guest House is located in a remote location, almost full every day, perhaps "sheep fragrance is not afraid of deep alleys" is the most appropriate description.
Tan sheep is the treasure of Ningzhao Town, and among the 12 signature dishes, 11 are related to mutton. "A Bite of China" made Yanchitan sheep famous, and Tan sheep is also considered to be the best meat breed in China, and frozen storage will ruin the flavor, but these disadvantages still do not mask the deliciousness of the mutton. When you come to his house, you should definitely not miss the stewed mutton, 72 yuan a pot, full of sincerity. There are coriander and wolfberry floating in the milky white soup, and the emerald green radish can enhance the flavor the most, and the mutton in the pot is mostly bone-in lamb chops, which is fat and lean, full of meat, and can burst out of the fresh fragrance without chewing in the mouth. Meat grabs mutton and sells it by the pound, you don't have to worry about the size of the dish, many customers can't help but order more, and the taste can be imagined. Ningzhao Restaurant prefers the purchase of whole sheep, and sometimes the parts with thick fat are also used to make finger meat, so the quality control is unstable.
Small shops can only accommodate a limited number of customers, and Ningxia guest houses can't prepare all the ingredients in advance like large restaurants. Reservations are required for the steaming and roasting of whole legs, whole backs, and whole sheep. Dry steamed lamb leg and lamb back are more typical Ningxia eating methods, which are not common in other stores. Lamb is first simmered and then steamed in a steamer, which is more "authentic" than finger meat, and the lean meat fibers are filled with mutton fat, which can better highlight the aroma of the meat. The Pearl River Delta is far away from the pastoral areas that produce high-quality meat sheep, and freezing is a necessary means to combat the climate and long logistics chains, and it takes a lot of time to thaw whole meat, which is the main reason why some dishes need to be reserved.
In addition to the boiled dishes, the spicy lamb trotters in the Ningxia Guest House are also remarkable, the pepper and chili peppers make people have a great appetite, and the collagen is full of elasticity. Consumers with a sensitive sense of taste may be able to find some barbecue flavor, which has to do with the way sheep's feet are handled, and the fine fluff needs to be pre-roasted by charcoal fire before being scraped off with a knife.
Mutton is the trump card product of Ningxia Guest House, the small stir-fried dishes are also occupied by meat dishes, eggs, cabbage are bland, the taste of shallot is more worth a try, this plate of small cold dishes is garlic, sour, salty flavor, just can reconcile the meat and vegetables greasy. Shallot, also known as Mongolian leek, grows in the arid desert of northwest China, this "wild vegetable" is very seasonal, and grows most rapidly after rain. Shallots have a refreshing and tender taste, like a mixture of leeks and shallots, and their taste intensity is only just enough to be distinguished, so most diners who are sensitive to leeks and shallots can also accept shallots. There is reason to believe that Ningzhao shallots are indeed airborne, and even in winter, their freshness is significantly better than that of Beijing's Northwest Restaurant, and the freshness of Ningzhao shallots is worthy of praise.
The dishes in Ningzhao Restaurant taste good, but the dining environment really affects the mood, the wall cloth is old, the desktop is oily, and the bathroom is even more miserable. In order to save trouble, the boss directly put 5 liters of hand sanitizer on the washstand, showing the northwest-style "nerve bar". Ningzhao's service situation has also been widely criticized, the number of chefs is limited, and it is inevitable that several tables will be turned over at the same time. The service quality of the staff is also poor, and the main reason is the weak sense of service, and the female staff is more attentive and sometimes can provide customers with detailed information about the dishes. The hall environment is more crowded, the privacy is poor, many guests will discuss work while drinking during the meal, the noise is endless, Ningxia guest house is more suitable for old friends gathering, if 6-10 people dine, it is recommended to choose a private room, the decoration is old-fashioned, and the privacy is acceptable.
Ningxia Guest House and Huangmugang Metro Station Exit A is less than 200 meters apart, the northwest gate of the community needs to be accessed to enter, from the east gate bypass is 700 meters away, the restaurant is only open at 11:30-13:30, 17:30-21:00, after 19:00 is likely to be full, it should be noted that Ningxia Guest House Chinese restaurant will not provide invoices to customers, the reason is that the restaurant is not open to the public in principle.
